I suspect we have wound down the 85mm theme naturally. Thanks to those who posted. I enjoyed seeing the many images, don't think you can go wrong with any of the Nikon 85s, especially in the hands of this group. One last 85mm f2, six shots in vertical orientation and stitched.
The red umbrella against the blue/green water caught my attention. I have a couple more with it as the main subject that need to tweak.
The St. Vitus Cathedral is a work of art. The first photo captured the best light of the photographs taken. I was hoping to return when it was open but it did not happen.
Excellent misty photographs specially the first which is awesome.

Would appreciate prays or positive thoughts. Eye appt messed up my one good eye - hoping to get it back. I can't see this type - hope it makes sense. Got ice cream for two of the grandkids. One got two - as the other refused to remove her pacifier.
James, I'm keeping you in my thoughts and hoping for better days ahead. Regina.

The sky was just doing lovely things that evening. At the bottom right of the picture previously posted you'll see some interesting clouds and color developing there as well. I stuck the 180mm f2.8 AIS on the Z5 and focused on that a bit. Powerlines have been removed from this picture.
Things have improved, but I have quite a ways to go. What happened? I have been getting eye injections for almost two years - due to my controlling my sugar levels too well. A dramatic drop in A1C (change in insulin) made the retinas swell, and in the left eye it folded. which made the geometry of everything distorted. Fortunately, I learned how to close that eye while shooting a gun - so I could block out the weird image at will. Otherwise, my brain made up info to reconcile the two versions of reality. The left eye has continued to improve and flatten out over all this time, and even this last treatment improved it. My right eye had a bad reaction to the shot the last two times. I complained yo the doc, but she said it was a "fluke"., I'm going to put a pause on the injections for the right eye. I could get into the weeds about a bunch of other things, but I believe in the science, and the competence of the doc. Again, thanks for the well wishes. Being blind for 4-5 days has altered my perpective. Now to work on seeing peoperly again.

Hope you recover James, Eyesight is the window onto the world.
I am fine now - extensive lab exams, CAT Scans, ultrasound found .......nothing!, and after two weeks of strong abdominal pain I now feel fine, feel grateful. Thanks for the well wishes.
Rafael, I guess finding nothing is good news, but feeling grateful is what I feel as well.. Stay well!

Very nice, Leighton, the light fog is conveyed very well in the processing.

Speaking of fog Leighton, a couple harbor scenes taken with the 85 f2 Ai. Thanks for looking.

Like them both, but especially the second one with reflection provided by the still water.

Very nice, Leighton, incredible color for being in the shade. Had me glancing to the left of your post to see if you had added an Instagram link to your profile.
