There's been some very nice stuff posted lately, I must say! Welcome to the thread, Regina. In this thread, we are all amateurs (that is, we do this MFNG photography for the love of it, not for money), including those who have been professionals. Your images show that you have a definite contribution to make, so please keep posting!
Here are a final few shots from Butchart Gardens, one of which is floral while the others show a couple of the fountains at the Gardens. The first two are from the 105 f/2.5 P, and the third is from the 28-50 f/3.5 Ai-s.
Welcome Regina! Someone from my home state! (I still have my accent too) Long ago, I lived in the Brighton area between Cleveland Circle and Comm Ave before I left. Nice thing was I could walk to three different Green Line routes, BC, Cleveland Circle, or Riverside.And WAY back then, the Fenway stop was at the Sears Distribution Center, with the Surplus store in the basement. My first paying job was down there...

Hi everybody, this is my first post here at FM. I found this forum long ago, but just recently, I have seen this topic about Manual Focus Nikon Glass. In 2017 I started my collection of Nikon manual lenses, which I love, and have been using more than all my expensive autofocus lenses. I spent hours looking at the pics here, and I loved it.
Recently I bought a 45mm P (silver one) in pristine condition (box, everything). I am just an amateur (far from a good photographer), but taking pictures is my passion and therapy. I have been using Nikon since 2002 and primes since I got my D200. I created a Flickr account to upload my pics here (not sure if this will work).
Below is a pic from the new Data Science building at Boston University (taken with my 45mm P and D850). https://www.flickr.com/photos/63943447@N08/52952381212/in/dateposted-public/...Show more →
Welcome Regina. Always nice to have another lover of these wonderful lenses join us.

Hey Regina. Welcome to the nicest spot on FM. Looking forward to see what you've been shooting since 2017.

Welcome, Regina.
Great to have you and look forward to your photographs.
Your photo with the D850 with the 45P is excellent.

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
Thanks for the warm welcome. Here is one more with the 45mm P. Close to the new modern Data Science building, we have the pretty old Economic building (urgent needs a restoration).

Four more from the 15mm f/3.5
Laura, I think you owe overtime to your assistant! Welcome Regina!
Hi Laura, I live in Newton, close to the Brighton border. I have been living here for 26 years already..........
The pic below was one of my first pics with a manual lens (actually, my memory was failing me because my first manual lens was bought in 2016. The pic below was taken with the D5100 in 2016 (one of my first attempt using manual lenses). However, I cannot remember which lens I used (and there is no information on the EXIF of the D5100).
Regina - You fooled me with your Charles River photograph, I thought surely with all this global warming spring must be more advanced, and then I saw it was dated April 8th!
Some of your other Flicker tree shots are nice, you should post them too.
I'm from the 'Hills' just W.
Laura - Remember Jack and Marion's? What a great deli.
Welcome Regina. I think I'll enjoy pics from your neck of the woods. Those old brick buildings are something to admire, especially the details that the brick masons put into them back then.

The old economics building has its charm; however, last semester, I was with a group of students, and after almost 2 hours in the room, a student looked at the ceiling and asked: is this a bat? Yes, it was!! The building is nesting bats and mouses!!!
Here is a picture (this one, I am sure, was with my 500mm reflex f 8). Handheld, taken with D5100.
Nice shot and really like the black and white processing
