It's been mostly quiet here lately. So I'm posting this just to keep everyone, or at least me, awake. I don't believe I posted this before. IIRC this was a film pic taken with the 200mm f/4 Nikkor-Q.

It's 8PM and still 90degF outside. Yeesh. My sweetie is out watering some plants so I followed her with the camera.
Z5ii w/FTZ, 105mm f/2.5 Nikkor-PC.
I still don’t have glasses after the cataract surgeries, so I’m finding it difficult to focus on much of anything. The one way I can get marginally decent results is focus stacking—not what the stacking software was designed for, but it sure comes to the rescue now.
D700; bellows Nikkor-P 105/4
This was 4 stacked images at f/6.3 [yes, this lens has detents at 1/3 stop increments] plus 1 background image at f/4. Masking for the background image is tedious, and this is not the best job. Still learning and trying to have a little fun in the process.
This is perhaps more info than people care for, but I don’t like to misrepresent this as what this lens could do with a single shot.

Nice light and OOF background, beautiful Ken. Hope you get your glasses soon.

Thanks Mary for the kind remarks. Fifty years ago, 1976, the governer of Arizona and senior senator Goldwater requested the Air Force assign me as photographer for Arizonas entry into our 200th year. We made a 31 day bus trip around the East coast. I took hunders, maybe thousands of B/W photos of t he t rip, published a book for the drill team and an entry into an international Drill publication.

That's a cool story.
Off-topic: Question for Harry. Back during the 1964 presidential election it was pointed out that Barry Goldwater was born in Arizona in IIRC 1912, but Arizona didn't become a state until 1913. Technically that made him ineligible to be president! Izzat true? I suppose I could google those dates. Like I said, off-topic.
