This little guy was always out trying to sell these balloons. Mother was nearby selling other stuff.

Early Morning on the Cape Fear. More long exposures is my goal for 2025.

A lovely image, Matt.

Also one of my goals and it seems the 28 3.5 PC is the way to go and it fits my Lee filter holder perfectly - I will probably extend my presence here into the new photographic year

Sticking with the North Carolina/28 3.5 PC theme. Camera was Zf. Normaly I use Nik filters only for the Silver Efex Pro, this time I played with the HDR thing.

The color version of this candid didn't float my boat so it had to be B&W.

Hi, everyone:

James and Ross, congratulations on the winning photographs in the respective categories.

Colin, great photos from Times Square. I have not visited the area in a long time.

Matt, excellent light in the "early morning on the Cape Fear".

Samy and George, excellent landscape captures.

Likewise, a rewarding goal, I look forward to your adventure (and the results).

Edit: this thread has been on an absolute heater past day or so. Love the finish to 2024 and hope it�s a portend of 2025.

Some atmosphere from the beach this morning. 28mm AIS.

Matt,

Beautiful image.
That's a good goal to have.
Mine is to wean myself away from the 50/2 H & HC lenses and use some of my other MF Nikkors.

A bit of veiling flare, yet the 24mm f2.8 ais did quite well at very high iso, dark scenes, and multiple light sources assaulting the front element.

Both handheld at1/200 ISO 200 f/8 - Iwill try again in due course with a tripod - I clearly missed focus in 1 but it gives an idea.

A couple from the Uffizi Gallery, Florence.

The Birth of Venus, Sandro Botticelli, ca 1484-1486. It is protected by plexiglass which is not so friendly to color saturation and contrast. There are incredible artworks in the Uffizi by Leonardo, Michelangelo, Rafael and others but this masterpiece is my fave and perhaps the most popular at the gallery. The photograph was framed a bit high to avoid heads and flying phones, this room gets crowded.

View from a window at the gallery, nice weather.

I left some of the veiling flare in this one - I liked it. There are two windows flanking a bay window behind her. Two led lamps behind me (for a terrible under powered main), a TV to her right, and led tower, table lamp, and a three pane door to her left. I am amazed at the white balance with such mixed sources. With all the light sources it was very dark and hard for me to focus. Again the 24mm f2.8 ais

Thank you Serge! The birth of Venus has always been a fav. Is that scratch on her left hand on the glass or the painting?

James, my pleasure and glad you enjoyed the photograph.

It is a stunning work of art specially for the period.

It is a crease on the canvas along the horizontal plane. It appears someone did a very poor job of storing the painting at some point.
