I was just curious if he used a plug (tread area), or an internal patch with cement (vulcanize) which is usually for sidewall, or near the transition between the two.

I agree, those tomatoes looked exceptional!
Sorry, I'm not up to speed on tire repair terminology
I did see an internal patch applied and presume a new plug was installed after the reaming operation but I was off looking at the miscellaneous game trophies that adorned the walls part of the time.
A garden visitor kept me amused at lunch break today. Shot from inside the house.
This handsome beast was strutting around and chilling in equal measure.

Just to help keep up the momentum, here is another small grouping of infrared images from last fall. These were taken with the 55 f/1.2 SC (first two) and the 2.8 f/3.5 H (third one) on my converted Fuji X-T2 by the sea in downtown Nanaimo.

I am liking these abstacts Leighton.
Have you tried Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) techniques?

Thanks Colin. No, I have not tried this technique. I had to google it to see what it was about and it was an interesting form of photography. I may give it a go. Have you done any and can you share them?
I went to the arboretum with 3 lenses and when I got there, all that I used was the 55/2.8 ais. It seems I do that a lot, go prepared for any type of shooting and end up only using one lens. I must be lazy.
Guilty here! I will go with a backpack full of gear and only use one or two things. Wasted energy carrying stuff

Why do you think that is? I grew up in the 60's with a little Kodak Instamatic and was satisfied with my images. Perhaps it's a holdover from those days
Not sure. But looking back, I think I most enjoyed my Yashica Electro 35 rangefinder. Fixed lens, good FOV. Maybe it is because that was my first camera. Then I got the Nikon FM and a 50mm. Shot with that for a while because that was all I could afford. Seemed to do just fine
Now you have me thinking about a purge again. I do this every couple years. Say I am going down to just a few lenses. But it never happens

I've said this before on here, but having only a few lenses to choose from frees me up and makes me use the ones I have. Not to say this is for everyone, just works for me.

Oh yea, I remember this one from you. Thought it was cool back then and still do. One question though, do you use a tripod when doing this?
This one was handheld, but a tripod would give more precision and repeatability to the horizontal or vertical movement.
Excellent photos - glad Leighton came down via the ladder - love the tree blossoms.
I have been hiking a little, many places around here, although one has to watch out for the fauna. Ususally take one camera, one lens, at most two of each, this is the 3.5cm 2.5 S, an excellent lens.
