I got the 55 1.2 pre-AI early in my manual Nikkor times and immediately took to it. The 5.8cm f1.4 I have not gotten so attached to but I know a lot of folks here find it very pleasing.
Jim,
Thank you for the detailed response in the focus stacking methods! I’ll have to give it a try. Yes, I’m too structured, I need to be more fluid as you describe.

This root is known in São Paulo as "Mandioquinha," but its scientific name is Arracacia Xanthorrhiza. "The arracacha varieties are native to the Andes. They were believed to have been cultivated by the Incas and are currently grown in Peru, Bolivia, Columbia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Brazil".
They are unlike parsnip; the taste is entirely different (much better, great on soups).
Df, 24mm f2.8 (street market).
My time with Nippi is nearing an end, so had to take her back to the burial ground to see what she how she’d draw. Difference in contrast was noticeable, different but good.

Classic processing greatly suited to a classic lens Matt!
Before I scrolled down I was wondering who Panos of Cliveden was ! Some Greek aristocrat with a title sprung to mind.
I prefer the colour version apart from the weird colouration of the foremost brick panels, they seem really orange compared to the more natural colours of the background wall ?
The old lime kiln where they made quicklime for mortar for building, using the nearby hill they cut slabs off the limestone layer, transported it by light rail.

Andy,
I agree - pity they didn't colour match the new brick to the old.
The staircase had been renovated. Lots of ivy removed.
Cliveden used to be owned by William Waldorf Astor and is also known for its role in the 1960's Profumo scandal.
The house is now run as a luxurious hotel.

The cousin to John Jacob Astor IV who died on the Titanic.

Enjoyed Jim's IR shots, especially #1 and #4
Serge, the photo of the bride entering the church from behind is special.
I'm sure there are many more that I forget to mention but hit the like button on.
I managed to get out on my day's off despite the cold, up into the hills around Arrowtown where the spectacular colours of Autumn may have gone but there is still colour in the trees and the oxygen rich crystal clear Arrow River
