D7000 + AI Micro-NIKKOR 55mm f/2.8S | F5.6 ISO 400
Siphiwe, nice capture and colors.
Perhaps you now this, he Fuji X-E1 uses the same 16mp sensor as the D7000. The Fuji only uses a difference color filter array in a far smaller package.
Ross, welcome to the forum, awesome photograph. The area reminds me to the "Ghost Tree" at the Pebble Beach 17 mile drive.
We took a 1.5 hour flight from London to Florence which was a breeze of a trip. The immigration process was a bit slow, they still do everything the old fashioned way, manually.
Ponte Vecchio at sunrise:
28mm f/2.8 AIs
This time decided to bring the Nikkor S-Auto 5.8cm f/1.4. The bad news is that I failed to pack a lens hood which is a must for this lens.
Ponte Santa Trinita from Ponte Vecchio approximately two hours after the above.
First walk along the Arno taking advantage of the great weather which was a rare commodity on this trip.
Beautiful sunrise hues Serge.
Was that taken from your rental apartment?

The light is beatiful on this one. Panos are just second nature with you.
Thanks Siphiwe.
I should really carry a wide angle MF lens with me. It would save a bit of post-processing.
But it would be in competition with a Z 14-30.....
My 24/2.8 NC is so soft in comparison that it doesn't get a look in. As much as I love my 16/3.5 the fish-eye effect can only be used sparingly. So they stay at home.

Here is a tighter composition of the previous image I posted, this time with the Nikkor 135mm f/3.5 AI-S (on D800). I was drawn to these first two branches that to me have a Japanese symbol feel. The lovely color on the horizon was enhanced by wildfire smoke at the time.
Getting overwhelmed trying to catch up at least the last few pages. The pace seems to have picked up. Great to see a couple new voices here, a very friendly welcome to both of you! Ross, i love everything about this scene as wel as the earlier version you posted.
For the last 6-7 weeks my retirement has been on hold.
Outside of a weeks' vacation in NYC I have been back at work - doing some consulting for the company I used to work for. Things aligned so I was happy to help out. The upside is an unexpected windfall - so a Z8 was purchased in the Black Friday sales. I have not had much chance to use it, let alone configure it.
Here are a few 55/2.8 micro images depicting a re-kindled passion mine - tennis.
Some people gather guitars I have a cupboard full of racquets. The Wilson Clash is my new weapon. Tennis tech has moved on a lot from the 20+ year old racquets I have been playing with this summer. Think D70 versus Z8.

Beautiful rich colors and contrast from that classic 55/2.8 😎

Oh really? I had no idea, Serge. Mmm, X-E1's are so rare here, D7000s are so easy to find.

Couple grand sons from a few days ago. D850 with the Nikkor 35mm f1.4 ais and the modified tc-16a. The birthday grand son was off playing with his new toys, but I was watching how the other two were coping with not being the center of attention. They went and entertained themselves, and seemed content.

Beautiful monochrome treatment. Perfect contrast. Nicely seen.
