Mark ... coffee roaster ... mmmmm...... toured a roaster in Montana once, oh the smells! All the better to help fend off winter.
You know, I expected more aroma there but it looks like they vent and suppress it somehow. I home roast myself and the house smells wonderful afterwards. But this place really didn't have that going for it, suppose its all vented.
Planning some home roast pictures soon, going to flip back to the DF until my high quality adapters arrive!
Time for part 2 of the Roasterie. I will definitely go back with the DF this time and try again. I need the faster ISO's for a place like this to better capture the ambiance of it. The M pictures are a little watery simply because of the fact that the adapter lost a little and the use of higher ISO's and slower shutter speeds. All the same lense, again I just had the three Nikkors with me, the 15, 28 and 50. Most of this series has been with the 15 and then 28, the last is from the 50.
Picking up where we left off, one more of the roasting equipment.

Thanks Colin. We used to buy around 3 bushels, but this year we only bought a bushel.
Oh - those old imperial units confuse me. Something I used to know when I was at school.
Sign of old age in that I needed to look up the definition of a bushel.
I have a few days holiday to use before year end. The weather forecast for today was fair so my wife convinced me to take a day off work, pack a few cameras and lenses into a bag an head out to a National Trust property that we used to live close to. It has probably been 25 years since we last visited. I was not expecting the IR camera to work very well but, boy, did it perform well today.
This is a D7100 IR, 24mm, NC pano of Waddeson Manor. (Exif is wrong)

Enjoy the apples Leighton. I picked up some outstanding apples at the state farmers market the other week. Didn't get a bushel, but did get 2 pecks
Great shots folks! Now for some coffee, donuts and some fresh McIntosh apples! btw a bushel is one of the Large bushel baskets full - that’s a lot. If one person eats an apple per day, 1/2 bushel would take about two months to finish off. Go ahead, ask me how I know this...
Continuing to pick up cameras only very occasionally .....
So a couple when it was raining the other dy, when I went to the care home whee my mother is staying ...
And then today with the D500 mounted with 500mm f4P Ai-s of a creche of snails which had been revealed when the gardener had trimmed the hedge on the building opposite out kitchen !!
Rafael, Godspeed to Aby, and a "well-done" to you for sacrificing your locks for him. Are you sure we can't get a peek?
Great shooting, everyone. Really nice variety, and the Fall colors are beautiful.
Autumn in Southern California doesn't bring too much in the way of color, but the marine cloud layer usually clears and that gave us a nice view of the crescent moon setting over the Pacific earlier in the week.

I've been enjoying taking food shots for the Donut Joint. I forgot to take any with a nikkor mf lens first time but remembered the 2nd time around. The lens being the NKJ 55mm f3.5 micro pre ai
Prawn and avacado on olive and pumpkin foccacia bagel
and yes, I ate a lot of donuts ! Shame to let them go to waste

Andy - do those donuts have icing and popcorn on top and syrup inside as well?
These are the last of the nikkor 10.5cm f2.5 PC. To my eye it's nowhere near as good as the later legendary 105mm f2.5
(I included more than one of the red door because I know Leighton has a thing for doors)

I agree with you about the 105 and yes, I do like a good door shot!

That's correct Ben, yes I ate one, yes I would say it may be a little too sweet for some !
