Wind last night brought down many tree branches but this morning there were clear skies and sunshine. It lit up all the ice still clinging to everything. Taken with the 75-150 f3.5. Thanks for looking.

Just realized I have some of those museum artifacts, including the unassuming Domke F2!!!
I see the 135 f2 and 180 behind it, and maybe the 135 3.5 next to them. But the 24 2.8 label seems misplaced, and I don't know that the c. 1959 tag is correct.

Someone might have 'borrowed' the 24mm f/2.8 as the F has the 50mm f/1.4. The little one next to the 135 and 180 looks too much like my 55mm f/2.8 micro. Made me feel like I'm using a museum piece.
Continuing to work through my photos from October, I offer below a few portraits of autumn in Nanaimo. All of these come to you courtesy of the 55 f/1.2 SC and my Fuji X-T4.

Colin and Samy, everything is still coated in ice after two days (thankfully the roads are bare now). When driving about and the sun pops out for a moment, everything lights up and sparkles. It does look like all the trees, shrubs, power lines etc are made of glass. Sometimes the ice coating does look silvery in the sun. Maybe from the grayish tree and shrub bark underneath?

I know what you mean. I took an IR camera, with 85/1.8 HC attached, when I went into the office/town a few days ago and returned with zilch.
I had high hopes since it was a crisp blue sky day but in the end I didn't even take the card out of the camera to look at the few crappy images I managed to shoot. Win some, lose some.
I have a birthday coming up soon so have asked my family to club together and buy me an FTZ II.
Ergonomics should be better than the original with tripod mount.
I chickened out at asking for a Z9

Good to hear from you around these parts Ray! Hope you find that inspiration to take and post pics too, soon. Glad all is good.
Slowly dipping in, way too much to try to comment on, but wanted to at least acknowledge the two posts above from quite a while ago now. Thanks for the encouragement. It's good to catch up on some conversation and pictures.
Sorry to hear about the diagnosis Leighton. Prayers for the best outcome possible.
For everyone else, keep up the wonderful sharing of pictures. From memory,
*Some really compelling ice storm shots from Leighton and Scott for sure, apologies if I missed anyone.
*Serge, enjoying the Toledo shots. That is a wonderful city to visit, and Colin, I can highly recommend it. An easy day trip from Madrid for sure, get some comfy shoes.
*So Colin, did you get the Z9 to go with the FTZ II?
*George, your outstanding Cannondale shot reminds me it's been way too long since I've been on the saddle of my Cervelo. So long, in fact, I'm dreading the spring first rides if you know what I mean.
*Nice collection of planes Rafael, the USAFM in Dayton is great in that they allow tripods, but I do miss the variability of lighting that one may get outside, and the blue skies (though it seems like blue skies are not exactly common in Ohio, especially when I have the camera out).
Speaking of getting the camera out, the last couple of outings with the camera and MF lenses showed me that I am still not particularly inspired, and most definitely out of practice, as most of the shots were badly focused; add to that the seeming lack of ability to hold the camera steady (just lack of practice, I hope) made for disappointing results.
Again, a great bunch of photos everyone. Had a big ice storm here a few days ago. My yard was very shiny, and it was so thick even my weight didn't break the ice crust. Oscar has been watching the birds deal with digging seed out of the ice, eeekkking his encouragement through the slider window.
But no it was just a regular USAF photog gear.
