180/2.8 ED wide open. Probably only 1 inch DOF at approx minimum focus distance.
The background just melts into a nice smooth wall of color. Such a great lens.

It's been a while. I was beginning to wonder what happened to him. Good stuff.

EuropeanParliament-Strasbourg by Maryland Photos, on Flickr

One of the main European Parliament buildings in Strasbourg, as seen from inside the smudged, reflective glass of a tour boat. Brussels is actually the more well known seat, but some of the sessions are held in Strasbourg. I liked the words on the building. Democracy is messy and slow, but definitely preferable to what that continent has experienced.

Bessa R, W-Nikkor.C 3.5cm f2.5, Fujicolor C200.

Fantastic photo and a reminder about the 180 2.8 which hasn't been so much in use on the thread recently. I remember a number of years ago there was a lot of buzz about it and plenty of excellent samples shared. I have that lens, and the 180 2.8 P which has quite nice results too.

I wondered about the blue scarves, so that's who the youngsters were. Just checked the Ireland-England score and looks like England's new coach has some more work to do.

Jim, I am fascinated by the second to last pic, the one with the bubbly bokeh. I have a turntable but I think I need to clean the needle before I would attempt a picture. I remember you had some pointers on that a few months ago.

I keep revisiting this turntable/stylus/needle topic looking for something I can't quite explain. First time was with a recently acquired polycarbonate 105mm f2.8 afd micro, and it was extremely easy to use, and did an excellent job. Links here

Photo-1 from 105mm f2.8 AFD LINK

Photo-2 from 105mm f2.8 AFD LINK

Then I tried the 200mm f4.0 ais micro, and it too was good. My angle of attack was extremely limited as the turntable is in a recess with no room left/right, or above. I made this the desktop image of my newly built of vintage computer parts (circa 2007-2008) media computer

Samy,
The bubbly bokeh is a Pink Floyd album that I used yo cover up the red oak back of the turntable recess. I just didn't want a repeating background due to the DOF the 55 f3.5 has. The way I clean the cartridge is with an anti-static brush, and a distilled water dampened Q-tip to to finish up.

As they say… Do It. Let me know if you want a deal on one or a loaner to see if you need to get your own.

Great portrait. The 180 is a fantastic lens and I'm sorry I ever got rid of mine. I better watch it, GAS is stirring in me.

I remember Curtis always saying that the 180mm is one of his "desert island" lenses.

Thanks Matt. But I know myself and I know I wouldn't use it enough to justify getting it.

Hi, everyone:

Matt, very nice photos with the 100mm Series E.

A small museum with an older section that recreated the home of El Greco. The admission cost is extremely reasonable for such a terrific collection.

Night Sky. Taken last year far away from city lights. Trees were "dusted" with artificial light during the long exposure. 24 PC-E. Thanks for looking.

Last time for the turntable stuff - promise. I think I understand what I was trying to convey all this time. It's that leap from intangible to tangible - from inspiration to reality that musicians do with their music. The way the recording comes to us consumers is in various formats, and my favorite is the vinyl record and required equipment. Yesterday my light brushes of choice were the D850 paired with the polycarbonate 60mm f2.8 afd micro (worked great), and the 5DS-R and the 105mm f1.8 ais + 20mm of extension. The last combo has met the brief that was in my mind. All shots were at f1.8, and were not the sharpest of all the combos I tried. Therefore the first image is a 29 image focus stack, and the second was 17 image focus stack. I think it is fascinating that a musical recording comes to literally the tip of a needle.

Debussy: The Pascal String Quartet (yes, it is a red album)

I am not a Nikon user. Only Canon was my 1dsr/analog.
The minute I saw Moody Blues...I locked on!
I must say for all my "groovy daze", they are the best!
Great capture no matter what body.

Don - Nice snaps with the ancient Nikkors and film on the rangefinder...very cool!

Serge...I looked on flickr groups and decided the D40X sensor was the look I liked, I love the D200 and S5 Pro too. CCD DX Nikon is dirty dirty cheap right now and with MF Nikkors which are also cheap you can pick up an amazing system.

Here is the D40X and 28/2 K today.
I call it the Hollywood rig...cropped 28 equals 42.
The D40X sensor fits my rubber focus ringed, multi-coated, saturated, rendering like out of a 70s Nat Geo magazine (natural I guess) lens just fine.

I would love to have 5D Mk2 or 3 and a bunch of F mount to Ef mount adaptor rings. Better yet an extra set of K's with Duclos Ef mounts.

As Rafael says the 85mm f1.4 is an excellent lens for capturing beauty. I can't afford to hire beautiful models like he did, but these pumpkin inspired rolls Barb made are beautiful food - to me. D800 and the 85mm f1.4 wide open.

James my models are free volunteers. Just have to feed them dinner! Surely with your beautiful bread and rolls you could get many models as well, just feed them!
