Agree with Colin, really like that first photo, Glen. It's as if you are using IR to look way back in time the way James Webb looks back at the oldest galaxies with it's IR cameras.

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.
Thanks for the sentiments on the encina that died, it is not the intrinsic value of one tree, it is how long it takes for another one to grow.
USS Michael Monsoor had a family day, friends and family ride the ship for a day just off the San Diego coast. I rarely go but thought it may be a good day to relax and also a rare opportunity for some outside shots aboard that I can actually share. Took the Z7, 28mm 2.8 ais and a F-mount 24-120 4 AFS. Got some nice photos but few with the 28mm lens. Was not impressed with the AFS, OK but not impressed, lens is reasonably sharp but it distorts like crazy and gets a little soft on edges sometimes, software automatically corrects distortion but that does not agree with me, it is photographic cheating! . A better combination would have been the 25-50mm and 50-300mm, but a bit much to carry all day in a backpack as I showed the ship up and down to a few friends.
Arthur in the center is a friend with whom we used to sur Baja 40 years ago.

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!
No, never tried 400D. I’ll look into it though and shoot a roll one day.
I shot 800T a few times and liked it, but that’s a pretty specialised film best suited to a narrow band of conditions.
50D looks like it’s had a layer of sand added to the film Very low contrast with a washed out look and pronounced greenish tint. Not a fan at all.
It’s plenty sharp but I still reckon Ektar is a little sharper. Ektar has it’s own colour shifting issues as well but a much much nicer look imo. To each their own though … many love 50D.
I’m glad you like seeing film shots on the thread. I’m also a big fan of Huss!
Omg yes, lived in Atlanta some while ago and indeed theres too many Peachtree streets. But more than peaches one of the best treats I would have there was pecan pie. And there's an exact pronunciation of the word 'pecan' only the locals can pull off. My 2 years there wasn't enough to figure out how to say it.
Checked out the website, and there you are Dean! Very cool!

Our main office in now in ATL and I’ve been there and around Georgia several times … BUT NEVER SEEN A SINGLE PEACH TREE
Man … in Atlanta it’s like every single street and boulevard is named “Peachtree” something.
We actually joined the bandwagon as well and recently changed our company name to Peachtree Foods
Come on back to Georgia and I'll show you more peaches than you can shake a stick at. We have plenty of them in central Georgia. California is the top peach-producing state in the country by far. South Carolina is a distant second and Georgia is third, but we're still the Peach State!
Here are a few shots from last week's American Heritage Truck Society show, in the visible spectrum this time from my Fuji X-T4 with the 16 f/3.5 Ai fisheye (first photo) and the 24 f/2.8 NC (second and third images).

I. WANT. THAT. TRUCK. In the last image. Great job again Glen.
I like this image for it's simplicity. How are you getting along with the Mac?
So far, I'm really enjoying the Mac. I'm still making tweaks here and there and installing software as needed. It's very fast and sooo quiet. I have no complaints at all.
Scott, great capture with the Zfc and nice to see the camera in action.
Lake Garda, is a short 20 minute train ride from Verona. It is a natural lake and the largest in Italy. Hydrology is mainly snow melt from the Italian Alps. There is a below surface river and the mineral filled water takes 20 years to reach the lake. It is a gorgeous area but a apparently a total mad house during high tourist season.
We did not ave much time there as storms were expected to develop early afternoon, unfortunately the forecast was spot on.

Slowly but surely we are getting there. Some might say that AR headsets are very close to holodecks. If we could just get the transporter. Just think, I could beam right into your kitchen for a cup of coffee!

Are you still liking your Mac?
I'm loving mine as well. I knew it was going to be fast and quite because I already owned the M1 MBA.
Sure would make a market trip easier! Few years ago I did a VR headset thing of Rosa Parks from her perspective on the bus. Not bad for first attempts, but the holodeck interactions would be so cool to bring your friends along too..
