When I got there, I just tossed it onto manual mode for everything, used the dials as designed, and made sure I was shooting RAW.
Excuse the iPhone photo…only had a second to take the shot. Boy did this setup generate a lot of interest. ...Show more →
Rafael, excellent photograph of our orbiting neighbor. Wicked looking rig.
Patrick, great captures from Toledo. That is a great city for photography.
Piazza Navona:
Work being performed at the Fountain of Four Rivers (mid 17th century) in preparation for Jubilee 2025. Photo was taken through thick plastic covering.
Fountain of Neptune, 1574:
The protective covering, equipment and materials were removed a few minutes prior to taking the photo.
In much better light, the fountain looks terrific. There were a lot of folks around checking out the completed project after months of work.

Many thanks. That's funny Where in Denmark did you live?
Ha ha - cool with a code language
I lived in downtown København and then later in Lyngby, actually in a Kollektive (sort of a Commune or shared living/responsibility arrangement). Among other things, I worked on Denmark's first (and so far only) satellite, the geomagnetic mapping mission Ørsted. I got my first real camera (Nikon FE + AI'd NC 24/2.8 and AiS 105/2.5) after moving to Denmark, and it was just SO much fun documenting my new home with that 24mm lens (lots of street photography and low-light candids in bars and parties). Also biking _everywhere_ (I used to average about 10,000 KM/year in those days).

Life does not want to let me rest, work is crazy busy, and I have been dealing with recurrent ear infections. But better times await -
Today it rained for the first time in a long long while - hope it put all the fires out.
Did the yearly fisheye shot of the money tree, it blooms like crazy, there are many of them around my deck and they seem to like it growing large and blooming with gusto, it is know as the jade tree as well, but you cannot see the leaves past all those flowers.
The 10mm OP is way sharper than the other old circular fisheyes, those are tiny tiny flowers.

Happy belated New Year to everyone. I've been participating only with the Like button for a while, but I found some time today to process a few IR images from a summer car show. They were all shot with my Fuji X-T2 plus the Lens Turbo II and the 2.8 f/3.5 H.

Don't overlook the Voigtlander Bessa cameras for the Nikkor rangefinder glass.
The Bessa-R2s is pretty sweet. Selectable frame lines for 35,50,85mm built in metering and 1/2000 shutter.

Let me know when you want to part with a TLR, I miss using big 6x6 ground glass and just got a Lab Box to burn a bunch of 120 film.
On another note I’m tempted to get a S body for the Nikkor rangefinders. Any recommendations for a good budget option? Not sure the differences between the models.
Couple 3.5cm S shots to move the thread topic along. Stopped down I like the rendering and I think it’s about the most compact Nikkor you could run.
