Here are my first three results from the new computer. The screen is huge and the computer itself (CPU, graphics card, RAM, etc.) is lightning fast, so it's quite a new experience compared to the 15" laptop I've been using for a few years. The photos below were taken in 2017 on a hill called Sugarloaf at the mouth of Departure Bay. The D800E was sporting an 85mm MF lens---probably the 85 f/1.8 HC---for the first photo, and a 24mm MF lens---probably the 24 f/2.8 Ai-s---for the other two. (I know they were MFNG because that is all that I have used since we moved to Vancouver Island.) You will undoubtedly notice some differences in processing between them. This is because I am exploring two new-to-me programs, DXO PhotoLab 7 and On1 PhotoRaw 2024, which I foresee eventually replacing Lightroom and Photoshop for me (if they do consistently well with both IR and visible spectrum images).
By the way, I have a question for those of you who use PhotoRaw: Is there some way to get it to include the full exif data when exporting an image? PhotoLab did this for me with no trouble, but PhotoRaw didn't include the camera make and model, no matter what I set in the Metadata section of the export dialogue box.
Kenneth,
I see the photos on windows, mac & linux - I use Firefox mainly. However, this morning, my android phone displayed the link like Kevin's quote showed. I have never used BBCode tags on FM?

Yes Glen, when you open the export dialog box in PhotoRaw, just make sure the metadata is clicked on. Little blue dot next to the word Metadata.
Kenneth - I may have figured out why you get intermittent photo display - it is the SSL that either your host or FM doesn't like. I have a similar issue on FM, but that is off topic. https is probably overkill when just sharing a photo.
BTW Love this photo with window panes - divided light - showing in saucer. I really, really want yo see over the rim a tad more - to see if there is steaming hot black coffee. A good tension.
With SSL security certificate or encryption = "https" - that you use
Without SSL security certificate or encryption = "http" - that you do not use (just drop the "s")
Web definition of https versus http
"HTTPS is HTTP with encryption and verification. The only difference between the two protocols is that HTTPS uses TLS (SSL) to encrypt normal HTTP requests and responses, and to digitally sign those requests and responses. As a result, HTTPS is far more secure than HTTP"
Definition of SSL:
"An SSL certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates a website's identity and enables an encrypted connection. SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer"
Thank you for pointing this out. It may (again) depend on browser and platform.
For the record, viewing your post I see both images (both http and https) on Windows 11 + Edge browser, MacOS Sonoma with both Safari and Firefox... and on iPhone 14 using both Safari and Firefox browsers. All are the latest versions of OS and browsers.

Thanks for your advice Leighton, will start sending the lens around in a couple of weeks, most practical seems to be to send in mounted on a S to LTM adapter and a LTM to Z adapter. Most everyone into adapting lenses will have an LTM adapter for their mount. This time around we will have 8 people at most, we can take a month each for a relaxed experience, at the end of the tour the lens can go live with whomever seemed to enjoy it the most based on their postings.
Just had surgery (all is well that...), need a week or two to get over the pain, next week I will be publishing a Miranda screen name list of participants, and PM people for their e-mail and physical address.

I pm'd you before I saw this. I hope you are ok and on the mend.
Thanks Leighton, small surgery to repair something now rather than wait until I am older and it gets worse. There is no consequence other than a lot of pain because I refuse to take pain meds, pain helps move correctly after surgery.

Thanks George! Rafael, if you need any more participants, count me in, if not, no worries. And of course, best of luck with the recovery!
Can't go anywhere for a few days, so play with the first Nikkor 35mm fisheye ever 8mm 1:8. This lens fills to the edge of the frame so one needs to turn vibration reduction off, or it cuts into the image.
nice shots
