Very impressed with Brian's images from his 35-200.
In that vein, here are shots from old zooms taken this week at Auger Falls. It was very windy and wet, and the spray kept coating my ND filter. The wind blew my tripod over, and I was in the woods at the bottom of a chasm! It was a rough day for photography.

I do know the This is War version I got is the lower resolution photos, so anyone willing to spend a bit more then get the 1956 original version.
Thanks again!

Just reporting back on Photo Nomad. Given that one can have this book for under $5 maybe including shipping as used, I recommend it for anyone interested in David Douglas Duncan. This book is 95% photos so if you prefer looking to reading then you may really enjoy this book.
I have been sipping on it so to speak. While one could easily flip through it from front to back in a few sittings, I don't recommend that approach. I recommend maybe no more than 20-30 pages at a time and thinking about the images you have seen. This is just my humble opinion by the way.
I was amazed to learn that Duncan is still alive and well at age 101. If you didn't see it, he did an interview in April for Nikon's 100th as he was a critical part of Nikon's history. You can find it on YouTube if interested. I also learned from this book and the web that he was a local Kansas City boy before he adventured around the world. This man's journey's are simply incredible to even comprehend the enormity of his travels and part in recording history.
I hope that those who are interested and want to take a look at his work and his eye and vision will check this book out and be able to enjoy it as much as I have!

Most likely, by that look on the girl's face on the left. I wonder what emoji's would go into that statement if it was texted :-)
Brian, especially like the third image with the backlit yellow leaves against the shadowed mountain. The humans give the image a good scale too.
Perfect catchlight, Chin.
Laura, are you now starting on the quest to own all Series E? I think there was some one at one point on that quest on here IIRC. I've had and sold the 100 (silly move), still love the 75-150.
Unexpected lunch time errand, bonus picture. I tried not to boost contrast and saturation much to represent what my eyes saw out there..... D700 w/50-135.
Not really, just happened to luck into it at a really good price. I have both the chrome and black ring 50's, the 100, and the 75-150.

D610 + Nikon 75-150mmf/3.5E hand held, ISO 1600, f/8 at 1/80s. 32% crop(7.7/24Mp). The exif was wrong (25mm lens).

Birders from Europe - need help to identify positively this bird.

Very impressionistic quality, beautiful, delicate color and texture.
