George, the image with the man on the steps is powerful, but it's also a wonderful showcase for the lens rendering.
Two MF wide angle zooms I toy with in my head once in awhile, the 28-50 and the 25-50, both wonderfully showcased by Rafael and Dan. Actually had a 28-50 in my film days, remember it fondly as a good adjunct to the 75-150, great for backpacking with the FM2. Don't quite remember why, but sold the 28-50, probably because I thought I had to have a zoom that started at 24mm, and may have replaced it with the 24-50AF zoom, now no longer owned either.
More cleanup in LR, don't think I've shared this one. D800 70-210 f4.0 Series E.
It's looks as if Nikon has put the "Thousand and One Nights" web pages back up on their site. Interesting stuff there about the development of some of their lenses, even if the translation is a bit awkward at times. I wonder why all those pages were pulled down for many months.
Steve, loved each one of your latest Nikon/Nikon photos, especially the one of the guy under the harbor hotel sign.
Scott (Georgia), enjoyed that scene (wow!), and love it that you are shooting with Nikon RF!! Look forward to see what you get back on the roll.
Peter (Madison), that shot is definitely not "failed". Cool lighting effect.
John, fantastic light on the snow cap behind the town!
Ken (Portland), you do some pretty nice closeups. That one of the branch is very nice.
Luka, well seen shot of the bar sign.
Mark, almost missed the masters of photography link you posted, will have to check that out.
Ray, nice scene at the water.
Chris, thanks for posting the pic and history of that leaning tower in Netherlands. Need to read up on it, very interesting that it leans more than the one in Pisa.
Rafael, very glad to hear that Abraham is doing well. Prayers and well wishes for his continued recovery.
Peter (Knysna), agreed on the simplicity and value of PSE.
George, excellent examples from the 85 Nikon RF.
Ronny, always amazing Icelandscapes!!
Dan, your waterfall pics have been inspiring me to try my hand at it too.

For Leighton, the 50-135 AIS on Nikon F2SB, with Ektar 100. The F2SB feels positively tiny and automated, after handling the Marshal Press behemoth
Same time and place as the "Runner" picture I posted not too long ago. This is the Battle of Fallen Timbers monument that's made an appearance before. I liked the lighting and the remainder of the yellow leaves against the blue sky. D700, 28mm f2.8 AIS, 1/160, f8.0, ISO 200.

This season, the colors started out rather dull. But in the past few weeks they have really started to shine. Some colors of Autumn with the 50-135mm.

Great fall colors! Good eye and super job processing as usual, Leighton.
Ballard, thanks for that link. I had never seen it before, and it's full of wonderful info about some of my favorite lenses!
Saph, thank you so much for your comment. That is the highest complement I've ever gotten on my photography, and for the first time I can truly say I've succeeded in the art
leighton, I love all three photos. Is that a "burning bush?"

You guessed it Dan! I love the colors they put out this time of year.
Likewise, thanks for the comments and likes on my previous posts.
Wishing all you vets out there a Happy Veterans Day (Nov 11). Thank you for your sacrifice and service from you and your family. My wife was with me for the entire time I was in the Navy and she was as much a part of it as I was. Somebody had to keep me straight, so she had the hard job

Ditto .. 5 years in the Army myself in the early 80’s. Lots of memories and never any regrets for having served my country. Thanks again to all you vets! Because of Saph’s comments on a book he read, and all the war documentaries I subsequently have watched I have a greater appreciation of what service has meant.
