Going through the pages for the week and came across this. Great memories of the chats here with Ray. Thanks for posting this Reagan.

Old slides again:
Caught in the act of eating Cecropia pachystachya fruits

Chalk-browed Mockingbird caught in the act of eating Cecropia pachystachya fruit by Jose, on Flickr
~60% cropping from original slide (14.5/24Mp).

The grain is because I pushed the ISO 100 slide to ISO 200.


White Woodpecker caught in the act of eating Cecropia pachystachya fruit by Jose, on Flickr
~35% cropping from original slide (8.4/24Mp).

Both taken with F90x + Nikkor 400mm f/5.6 ED (non-IF) + SB28 (fill flash) + tripod; Fujichrome RDPIII ISO 100 (pushed to 200), February to March 2002, Prata-MG, Brazilian Savannah.

Digital dupes using D610 (mockingbird) or D7200 (woodpecker) @ ISO 100 + PB-6 bellows + Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 ais @f/5.6 + PS-6 slide copying adapter + SC-17 cable/SB 400 flash behind slide.

Love the White Woodpecker Jose

Am in Scotland (south - not as far up as Colin goes)

First shot is Dunskey Castle using 28mm f2.8 Ai-s on D500

Then a couple of Black Guillemots in non-breeding plumage again D500 but with TC-201 and 500mm f4P

Then a couple more using just 500mm on D500 with no extension so effective 750mm

I was expecting CA with the long lens, but not so .... surprised

Greeting to all!

Leighton, great news and very glad for you!

Laura, congrats on the new lens. I'm think, perhaps erroneously, that the E series started the use of "good copy" - "bad copy" in describing Nikon lenses. I have several and all are good!

Jose always a happy time for me to see your brilliant work!

Steve, Scotland shots are wonderful and although not as good as being there they are a real joy!

Here are some more from the Great State of Arkansas! Please enjoy!

Thanks again Richard. If it weren’t for your website, I probably never would have gotten up the courage to begin restoring old lenses. Now I’ve restored too many to count, and have built up a nice little collection. Keep up the good work!

Nice seascape Steve.
This is one area of Scotland that I have hardly ever visited.

While I don't use my battered old Nikkor 85 1.8 much these days, I still like to give it a run every now and then.

I have been neglecting my MF lenses lately, but here are a few from a trip to Colorado this past summer. All were taken using an X-E1 and Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 AI. I processed all of these using Alien Skin Exposure X3. I've been demoing it for the past couple of weeks and I do believe I have found me a new editor.

Thanks Kristian, I can't believe he just sat there patiently while his owners shopped the market.

Nice set Scott. I too have been checking out other apps with the thought of leaving LR. So far, I like Alien Skin Exposure X3 and On1 over all the other ones I've tried. But to be perfectly honest, I still like LR the best and as long as I don't change cameras, will probably be sticking to it.

Has anyone tried the new "Luminar" editor
It says very similar to Lightroom
I may give it a try when I get back

I tried it and quite like it. But it doesn't have DAM yet. Once they incorporate that (sometime in 2018) it will be in the running for me.

What is DAM?

I am guessing Digital _____ Management

Stands for Digital Asset Management. In other words, it doesn't have a "library" mode or a folder tree. You have to use it as a LR plug-in or open files individually. If the DAM is as good or better than LR's, it will really be nice.
