Thank you Leighton I think this was shot at 45-50mm. I believe that the horizon would've been not so straight on 25, even though I dont think this lens produces very much distortion.

It is 28mm AIS rendition. I've used it to take sample photos only for my work thanks to close focus distance it brings. Gradually I find it also pleasant for other else.

Thanks Leighton. To "see" the two of us together we'll need to ask Sue to take a photo of the two of us when we visit her on Sunday evening for dinner. Fortunately, she knows how to turn the focusing ring...
Wonderful to remember that Chin was the first person to receive Nikki during our Great Lens Adventure... which began SIX YEARS AGO!
No doubt that Sue can handle your camera. I've seen her work before and it's top notch!

Thank you Kristian. That photo made it to Flickr Explore overnight and this morning, I saw 2300 views and 111 favs. Something about sun shots that made it to Explore. I never know how these things work but I am not that lucky to be picked by Explore. But then its just an AI algorithm picking things up so I dont give it much importance.
I did love the coverage this picture got me though. The 400mm on DX gave this a different perspective. I am yet to process other shots taken at that same time. Meanwhile, I will share couple of BW shots from the Safari.
That's cool Ram. I dont think I ever got one of my shots displayed there. Guess you got some new visitors on your flickr page.
Nice tele work with the d7200 and that 400mm. I've been thinking of getting the 400mm f/5.6 ED Ai (and the d7200) for some tele photo. I've never owned something longer than 200mm so it's new grounds for me
Looks great Leighton! How many different crops do you grow?
I've been putting about 300 seeds of chili peppers this year, few tomatoes. I will also grow some different kinds of salads, carrots and hopefully a few baskets of potatoes as well.
I’d like to say I am a gardener, but I made a resolution in January to tell the truth!
The closest I’ve come in the 27 years I’ve lived in this cottage was digging up the weeds and planting grass... that raccoons immediately dug in their search for grub worms. I did battle for two years before finally surrendering...

That's a LOT of chili peepers!
We grow just about everything from asparagus to zucchini.

You can't eat grass! You ought to get a planter and at least grow a few tomatoes.
I've been enjoying the activity here lately, which has continued to be up to its usual standard of high quality images, wide-ranging photographic technology with the common theme of MFNG, and friendly conversation. And on that note: please accept my condolences, George, on the passing of your canine friend.
On the subject of technology, I have recently obtained the 2018 version of On1 Photo RAW (for only $80!), which has a fighting chance of taking over from LRCC and Nik Plugins as my photo processing software of choice. It has a couple of qualities that are particularly attractive to me. The first is that it works much better than LR with files from the Fuji X-Trans sensor, and the second is that it operates like a hybrid of Lightroom and Photoshop. On the one hand, it does non-destructive editing on RAW files like LR; and on the other hand, it works with layers and several forms of masking that enable great precision like PS, but through a simpler layout. This combination fires my enthusiasm for learning more sophisticated skills in a way that seemed rather daunting with the LR/PS combination.
A further change that the new software has inspired is a switch from uploading my images directly to FM, to putting them up on a Flickr account and linking them here. My hope is that this will result in less degradation of my images, so they will show at optimum quality. This post represents my first effort at this, and thus is a bit of a trial balloon. I shot these three photos over a period of about ten minutes as the sun set yesterday. All were taken with the 105 f/2.5 P with focal reducer on my X-T2, during a visit to nearby Neck Point on Hammond Bay, Vancouver Island, BC.
