Cemetery, and stream at slow shutter speed and ND filter on the 28 3.5 PC-Nikkor. With Nikon N8008 and Velvia 50. Working on overcoming reciprocity failure with various films at long exposures.
Well, we didn't get anything from the hurricane that we were supposed to, except a little rain, so I'm happy. Hope George made it through it with little difficulty.
We even had our farmers' market this morning. Here are a few with the X-T2 and 55mm f2.8 ais.

Thankfully we are just outside of the major rain area. Some sporadic power outages here. But man, the folks in the southeast part of the state are still getting hammered with rain. Historic flooding and still raining. Rivers won't peak until early in the week.
Recently I replaced the radiator frame, radiator, all power steering components valve covers and seals and main seal. All to get rid of leaks and much to my surprise all leaks are gone. It is not a sports car, much less a race car, it is a toy.

Glad you were spared the main brunt of the storm. You think we can do that deal on Monday?
Thanks for these beautiful views of Sidney Sar, I would love to live there.
This is Abel, with his brothers my Gardener of the last 12 years. They came and cleaned all the palms, something we had not done in a while. That is his truck, they work hard and do well.
Palms look nice as you can see below, I don't trim them too thin, it is bad for them. Abel used spikes to climb the palms, he had never done this before so I did not ask, Will have a chat and make sure he does not use them again.
Happy to hear our two mid-Atlantic residents have not been too much impacted by this hurricane, but it is very sad to see how devastating it has been for residents of the region. It definitely seems these storms are becoming more intense, which greatly increases the risks of living in areas exposed to these risks. I know the subject comes up when rivers flood or when fires rage. In California it has to do with folks building homes in the forest that then is subject to fires, which requires that fire fighters to protect property that perhaps should never have been built. The same happens in flood plains. No one wants to leave their home but how many times can they rebuild when the likelihood of another, even stronger storm looms? No easy answers here, for sure.
I guess you would find out sooner or later. George has graciously offered to sell me a 28mm f2.8 AIS. He was prepared to ship it last week, but I told him to wait because at that time, we were expecting really bad conditions from Florence and I didn't want anything to happen to the lens in transit.
I can't wait to get it because the widest FL I have at the moment in the MF Nikon world is my 50-135mm. I always loved my 28mm and was sad when I sold it. So I have to have that in my bag again.
I have the GREAT Fuji 18-55mm f2.8-4 "kit" lens, but it's not the same as shooting with the old Nikkors.
Sweet b&w toned image, Phillipe. Great moment captured.
Love the colorful fungi, Leighton, the soft rendering works great in this picture.
Especially like the shot with the homes and the city skyline as a backdrop, Sar. A wonderful vantage point of the city.
The cars roll with magic when you put your stamp on them with the PP and 55mm, Rafael. Beautiful rendering.
