Welcome Dan - loving your panos !
Welcome Dave - gotta love a 28mm nikkor !
MarkA - good to see you, lovely bucolic scenes and the re-enactment scenes very nice.
Jose - great bird shot as usual, the donuts work here, and congrats on the D810 !
Kristian - nice vibrant colours on your late season chili "product shots"
Scott - Love the farmer's market colours and the sunlight coming through the honey.
Colin - Beautiful scene, the road is a reminder of touring the west coast with my then to be wife in a Mk2 Escort estate, a camp stove and a tent, a night here, a night there, stopping at passing places to let others by, and the weather of course !
We told her parents we were staying at YHAs, had to hide photos of the tent for years and in fact still haven't told them !
Andy.
Of course!. Being a Scot you stayed in the tent to save spending money on separate Youth Hostel rooms - or was there another reason?
Dan,
I needed to use a grad filter in LR to pull in the blown out sky. In essence the scene really did look like that.
The weather in Scotland can be miserable at times but opportunity abounds for amazing light in the mountains.
I wish I had more time to take more pictures in this area but my Dad wanted to go home.

Wow, what a bunch of good photographers we have here! Nice crepuscular rays there Colin. And very interesting conversation indeed!
George, I am ignorant of the pre-Ai stuff (and really expensive stuff!) In spite of the fact that I did restore a pre-Ai 50mm 1.8 a while back. A film guy bought it. I guess I was thinking (wishful thinking) the 58 1.4 was Ai.
I am still working on my photos from last week. Here are some smaller samples. The waterfall is 24mm 2.8 Ai-S at f11. The mountains were 135mm 2.8 Ai-S at f22. That is one huge, detailed pano.
Another set of lovely pictures.
Scotland is about 2-3 weeks away from maximum autumnal color so I missed out on trying to replicate beautiful scenes such as yours.
Beautiful shot Colin! Love it! I have a friend who went to Scotland a few years ago and came home with a bunch of shots like yours. Have been to Glasgow once, 4 nights, constant rain...it just didnt stop. Nice city though!
Hope you and yours stay safe safe during Ophelia!

The weather front due to storm 'Ophelia' caused my flight home to be cancelled this evening.

Adding this to the companion site as well under lens repair, thanks for sharing! And remember, when you find really great MF links, PM me and I will add them to the companion site so they are easy to find for everyone. Nikkorglass.com is the site if you want to see where it sits now.

Yes I had Mir, I added your link though under lens repair since it seemed relevant. . Slowly but surely I have been collecting nice links for the research menu.
Another from Snapper Rocks, a little later than the last one, I could see the curved cloud formation off to the left so moved position to get it in the shot and took lots of pics as the setting sun, below the horizon now lit up the cloud bank.
Andy I love how everything is so wet in that waterfall shot. And the boulders under water (I too like to get underwater rocks oftentimes). Did you use a polarizer for that one?
For you (us!) old-timers: (200mm f4 Ais, f11, 1/125, ISO100)
Another great shot Dan ! So that's water and mist yes ? or snow ?
Yeah, I always use a CP on waterfalls. Those falls were so far down in almost a gorge and then set back again where they have eroded the rock, everything was wet down there ! I was a little concerned taking pics at some of the falls as they required clambering up over wet rocks with big drops downstream, I was alone and I am a clumsy oaf at the best of times

I especially like the first one with the jutting bedrock. You and I have a lot in common. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve risked my life to get a better shot!
Hey everyone I'm just back after being gone for two weeks. We went to the Colt Collectors Association meeting in St. Charles, Missouri and saw some terrific vintage firearms. St. Charles sits across the Missouri River from St. Louis. Then on to Northern Arkansas for a week in a cabin on a lake. Processing a lot.
Sad news is Marshall Ledbetter, the founder and owner of Marshall's Camera passed on October 8th. He will be missed and the business continues on being run by his son and daughter.
I've been saving comments for a week ... now that I'm back to the computer.
Raphael, my prayers and concern go out to Abraham and hopes for a successful procedure.
Jeff terrific shots and enjoyable to look at.
Steve that's a good/maybe a fine collect of sprits.
Colin! I Really love the bridge shot.
Scott always great to see NYS foliage.
Andy that is a wall hangar. Terrific sky.
Leighton I love the lamb shot.
Dan welcome aboard and nice work.
Philippe your photo eye is magnificent. Nice framing and composure!
Here are a few from the Colt show. ALL OLD all vintage with a history!
