Buddy, great shots, and good to see you again. Are you going to get Anouk into MF Nikkors :-)
Laura, thanks for sharing pics from your journey to Ireland. Can't wait to see more on your return with time for processing. Glad to hear of the great time you had.
Siphiwe, this last shot with the D7000 / 55mm is simply wonderful, love the tonality and the great details you've captured.
Leighton, I don't suppose you miss lambing season do you? Wonderful portrait!
Phong, love what you captured with the restaurant and mirrors. Took awhile to digest the scene.
A little late, Serge, but what a great One World Trade Center with the reflected clouds.
Colin, keep posting the Italian shots. I'm enjoying the virtual travel just like Leighton.

Actually, I do miss lambing season. Just not all the work that comes with it.
Jim, there's a wire hanging down, and since there's no access to the second level for tourists (nothing up there right now anyhow except a better angle for photographers) I couldn't see the rest of the connections.
After being up for 26 hours, I finally got some sleep here. Back to reality (work) tomorrow, boo hiss. At O'Hare, the flight to Dayton was overbooked, and they were offering vouchers to volunteers. First they were offering $200. By the time the flight was boarding, they were up to $1250. Only good for a year. I wasn't waiting for any more flights. They wound up involuntarily bumping the last two late check-ins (they go by what time you checked in so use that button on your airline's app for early check-in!!)
At Dublin, I was one of the lucky ones to be selected for additional security screening, both by their version of TSA and US Customs. The attendant wheeling me through had to put her stuff in a bin too. Glad I kept my shoehorn with me so I could get my shoes on faster. Pat-downs were done in public, no separate room while they did that. Paying for Global Entry doesn't keep you from getting selected for these fun side trips. Barely made it to the plane on time.
Yes, I had wheelchair assistance this trip in the airports, and glad I did. I would have not been able to walk all that distance. When I got off at Dublin, there was no assistance and I walked and walked and walked and walked, getting out of the way of the speedier walkers and resting several times. Still aggravating to not be able to walk it myself though.

We're slowly working towards the basics. Learning how to pick a subject, frame it, be patient, watch the light and determine whether or not she can make a shot work. If she's still interested after all that, we can dive into exposure settings, and finally, picking your focus.
Most important for now is learning to observe and really see the world.
At 8pm sharp Hamish comes into the living room and stares at me like this. Roughly translates to "FEED ME". This from the limp, seemly dead feral kitten that momma cat abandoned on our picnic table. He refused to eat anything for almost two weeks which required us to feed him goat milk with an eye-dropper. Then I tried a slice of deli ham and that woke up his appetite. He still refuses to eat any commercial pet food, but if he sees me eat it - that's what he wants. Squash, carrots, onions, lettuce, pizza, potato, peas - anything I eat he will try.

Leighton,
This is a seemingly odd comment. The grave marker way over yonder by the fence, and alone - wouldn't happen to be someone that was anti-social - would it? Everyone else is gathered together in the foreground and then there's ?

Well, Nippi finally arrived here yesterday after first being shipped by Laura on September 24. Due to the causal series of postal delays, the result is that the lens arrived at the end of my vacation weeks, with a forecast of rain for the entire upcoming weekend, followed by the notoriously worst month of the year for weather in this part of the world, when the days are too short to allow after-work shooting. It appears that God is on vacation and has been temporarily replaced by an imp named Murphy!
While I await a break in the bad weather, here are a few photos of Nippi on the camera where the lens will spend most of November (with the possible exception of some time on the X-T2 for some IR activity, if the sun shows up on a weekend ). These images were shot with the 55 f/2.8 Ai-s on my wonderful D800E.

I miss Nippi… I really enjoyed that lens. I never thought I would like the focal length, but I really did. Can’t wait to see what you do with it.
