Scott I got to love those spinning flywheels, simply terrific!
Colin I agree with Leighton's assessment. Simply out of this world! Great in IR!
Chuong it's a great lens but I agree with Ken B. It's a lot to haul around.
Laura, once my girls packed a dozen or so "silver dollars" we dove for ... ah the smell still lingers.
Jay liking the shots of places and days gone by.
Ben the owner of Muscle Car City is a developer that built neighborhoods that attracted many a Yankee to settle here in Florida. We are now the third larges state, passing New York in population. The story is that when he graduated high school in 1967 he wanted but could not afford a Corvette. Now he has every color and every model variation made that year.
Curtis - I've been following the whole series on Flickr. I was going to comment on each individually - but you're so aloof on Flickr that I wasn't sure you'd even see it. I thought many of the pics were standard children's birthday parties - but the weird thing was that having seen Jesse over the years - all those shots made me feel something of what it was like to be there. Photographically speaking - I admired you using the 55mm f1.2SC - manual focus at a kid's party is a brave choice - and congrats for getting focus on some of the movement shots, like the shots of Jesse's daughter running.
Lestor - love the shot of the little girl - to me it's the B & W pp that makes it.
Jay - all that white paint in that cottage shot must have been a nightmare to balance out with the other colours.
Kristian - your family obviously likes to raise their arms for portraits - or is that you directing them?
Haha! Yes, true. I went through som old and new shots of my family, most of them with the hands in the air. Havent really thought about it that way before, so no I dont direct them. Well seen!

Noticed this late scene yesterday afternoon.
Stuck to 300mm AI-S (non ED) on the D7100 IR.
Needed to act fast as the cloud was moving in
Hey folks. I think this fits with the forum topic, since it is my goal to use for shooting Nikon MF glass and for focusing MF glass
Are any of you using any tethering software that runs on a Mac (either standalone program or Lightroom plugin) AND supports live view of Nikon DSLR's (Df specifically)? Lightroom does tethered remote control out of the box but not live view.
I know Nikon has Camera Control Pro 2, but trying to avoid the ridiculous $149 price for old coded software to shoot their own cameras (my editorial comment).
I found one that I am going to download and trial (Smartshooter) but wanted to see if anyone here was using anything. Trying to replicate my workflow with the Nikon body as I am able to do with Fuji and their Lightroom plugin. Capture One Pro does support live view of Nikon but is really a Lightroom replacement and it does not support live view for the Fuji, so would be one step forward and two back in that regard.
The processing on the 2nd one - is it intentional to make the man's face look like a painting ? It's something I have noticed in a few of your market shots and wondered if it was deliberate or a consequence of lifting the shadows ? (as it only appears to affect the man's face for example)

Wow Chuong, what a beauty! Congrats. It is truly a "Rafael's condition" like!
Looking forward your first shots and impressions!
And don't forget: who knows, some remote day in the future if you think of leaving this baby, I am the first in the list!
Jose - I'm going to fight you for first place on that list. I'm so disappointed at missing out - that was a screaming bargain. To salve my wound I just bought another lens. I've always wanted it but I thought it was a bit of an indulgence - see, see what happens here - really gotta get off this thread while I've still got the clothes on my back.

Some of you may not of ever seen this tree. It's the Catalpa tree, or "cigar tree" which we call it around these parts. Some say when the "cigars" dry out and turn brown, you can smoke them. I have never tried this, but I'll have to see if that's true later this year. 50-135mm
