Good to see you Alan, hope the family is well. Not sure what we can do about the rising deer population but it's becoming a real problem.
Either need to hunt pretty heavily locally and mix with a bit of pork sausage, find some type of deer repelling plants (if such a things exists). The reality is that the area near us is a good habitat with a mix of woods, open field/prairie and some areas of mixed heavier trees. You'd never completely remove a population when you live within 2 miles of a constantly flowing river either.
I'm not decided if the deer or non-native wild boar are worse. I'd argue there is a bit of lack of balance in some areas with the first (just like people), and the second are a very bad nuisance pest which are also VERY hard to eliminate and cause a lot of damage. We've had problems with them to over the years.
Family is doing well. I even have the 50/1.2 AI-S on my Z6 right now so perhaps I'll take some pictures if it ever gets below 103-108°F here.
Rafael, Sorry about your loss of the trees. I know how their absense can be disorienting.

It is with sadness that I share the news of the passing of one of my Encina trees. Not sure what happened it just split from the top.
Here is the poor thing, with a 25 to 50mm ai'd. It is in a little gully so the branches are now resting on higher ground, we will have to clean it after it is fully dry and the leaves drop.
Lost a black eucalyptus 9 years ago, out of its roots and trunk grew a little forest that you see on the picture above on the right, the Encina will not do that.
The Eucalyptus split in a similar way and we had to take it down as it was closer to people and the house. Below pic with a D3 and a 35-200mm.
Last Saturday's truck show was in an area of the BC Forest Discovery Centre, which also has a small restored forest railworkers' sleeping quarters and railyard. Here are my final two IR photos from that day, taken in the railyard with the 45 f/2.8 P.

I like the old-look processing of the first - in keeping with the historical subject matter.

Looks like you just missed Scott.
I missed Scott by a couple months in Williamsburg, but caught up with him a couple days later when he was in Northern Virginia, hazing around How's that for a manual focus Nikon time warp?

Now, if we could only beam to wherever we wanted to go.

Dean have you tried Cinestill 400D. I like the looks of it. 50D I have never looked into. You definitely made Leighton's day by praising Ektar That's his fave from his film days.
It's great to look at the thread and regularly see film work from you and Huss!
