Just wow. The IRs are great, but manual focus on that second one, REALLY? Wowzer. Timing, composition, everything just perfect! Both images are great, but I just cannot believe how that second one came together!
Print Large...VERY LARGE!

Jay,
I did something similar to that Plymouth Barracuda with the 426 hemi and dual four barrel carburetors. In high school I "blue printed" a 1967 383 V-8 - had it bored it out 60 thousands, high rise Edelbrock intake manifold, and dual Holly four barrel carburetors. My engineer father was furious that I had completely disassembled a "perfectly good engine" to do such a thing. I had never seen his eyebrows so high as the first time I started it up and it purred. If you punched it - you could literally see the gas gauge go down on the 20 gallon gas tank.

Jim that must have been a great car, my only adventure with American iron was putting a 283 Chevy in a 52 Ford.
With the stock rear end this frankencar accelerated at a leisurely pace but ultimately reached incredible speed.

Back from a trip to Minneapolis. Flights had me there for an afternoon, I was excited to shoot in a new place. But... not that exciting or maybe I just looked in the wrong spots. Got a door for Leighton though, and a bike I wouldn't mind owning... Both with the Series E 50mm.
I think I'll write a book...Doors from Around the World.
Yesterday was the last night for cruising grand street. I did not go as the COVID Pfizer bivalent booster sapped my energy, minor aches.
So in commemoration here are some pics from years past. way past: This event marks the beggining of fall in my town.
They don't race them on a town street, just start them for the fireworks.
Jay,
I'm loving these silhouette night time landscapes. Is there any hdr treatment?

Of all the IR photos I have seen so far, this set captures my attention most because it looks so natural and beautiful with my first impression asking myself are those monochrome or IR taken in winter time?
Thanks for sharing!
Today it is quite hot for a spring day(36deg/97F) so I have spent most of the time sitting on the verandah. A very busy bird got my attention. Many bugs have been turned into breakfast and lunch. I presume she has young.
I had Df + 105 2.5 at first. Then switched to 50-135mm 3.5, then eventually mounted the 135 3.5Q on D5500 for some DX reach. All uncropped.
Df + NIKKOR-P Auto 105mm f/2.5 | F5.6 ISO 100
Df + AI Zoom-NIKKOR 50-135mm f/3.5S | F5.6 ISO 400
D5500 + NIKKOR-Q Auto 135mm f/3.5 | F5.6 ISO 400
and this one is just there for moral support. He hasn't caught a thing all day but he's thirsty. There's plenty of water around.
Colin,
I couldn't get good results with my de-fish plugin - Defish-Hemi. Pretty sure it is because the camera was angled up too high to get lots of sky. So I did it old school using ctl+A - edit > warp follow by ctr+A edit > distort until I had a level horizon. The crop was to remove some of the right side where a sign and part of a sidewalk showed. Part of the far bottom right and far bottom left got removed during the distort.

I like the first one Jim.
Did you de-fish or crop out the bottom of the image?
The horizon looks nice and flat so I am guessing that you cropped.
