Scott - Really like the 1st shot! I like the square windows too.
Jim - I think it is a bit of a stretch to call USM AI. The dodgy recent Sky and Subject Masks qualify but edge detection has been around for a long time in the digital world and even in the analog darkroom.

And a final posting acknowledging James extensive use of the TC-16a, modified to work with DSLRs. It was originally a film camera extender, needing a small but delicate connection change to work with DSLRs.
the TC-16a is screw AF so no use with the Z cameras
You're making that 135 f2 sing, James. Glad you found it, classic 135 use.
Scott, great framing and processing on the Stratoliner, that metal literally just shines! My favorite perspective presented is #3. Looks like our quick three lens fixed focal lengths are identical, though just by happenstance my selection is a 20mm f3.5AI, 35mm f2.0 O, and an 85mm f1.8H.
Great perspective on the dam, Jay.
Rafael, nice KC-97. I'm jealous of the outdoor setting (and CA lighting) you have for aviation subjects.
Thanks to all you world travelers letting me see castles, cities/towns/villages, churches, planes in various states of repair, birds, dams, and flowers. (Sure I missed some) Here some from my neck of the woods. Getting back into infrared this morning - 5D and the Nikkor 20mm f2.8 ais
Here are some photos of two totem poles that were on display at Butchart Gardens, with help from the Fuji X-T4, 105 f/2.5 P, and object masking in Lightroom.
Glen, I have read Edward Curtis' about tribes from the pacific northwest,and their totems. However, the last one - the bottom one doesn't look scary at all. Like a chipmunk holding a clam shell. Totems are tall large carvings - are they still making new ones?

Last posting on the subject, a long time ago we cleared all the brush and allowed trees to take over, the first pictur, shown previously is an example of that:from a 16mm 3.5 on a D200 struggling with the dynamic range.
This is the result of years of fostering native vegetation, same 16mm 3.5 17 years later with a Z7 that does not struggle with the dynamic rage at all, and the 16mm 3.5 which may be the sharpest lens I know

Yes, Jim, new totem poles are still being made, in parts of BC at least (in Haida Gwaii for sure, and I think elsewhere too). That is a sea otter in the bottom photo, along with her two babies and the clam she intends to eat.
