Should have realized that. City is a little to close for a shot from the island unless it was a telephoto.
Like your postings with that old macro lens....
That lens might be old, but its gold! I have been using it on my Sony a6000 with an adapter and it actually performs better than Sony's native 30mm macro lens.
Sorry Philippe, but as an incorrigible Bonapartist, I could not resist
Arco della Pace ("Arch of Peace"), Porta Sempione, Milan.
Comissioned by Napoleon I and the Milanese as the "Arch of Victory" in 1806-07, it was finished by the Austrian occupation ~1838 following Napoleon's fall in 1814; by 1859 after the liberation (with the help of Napoleon III) and the unification of Northern Italy, the arch received proper inscriptions refering to both Bonapartes. This is the southeastern façade.
Jockey's Ridge State Park. This is a 6 shot vertical oriented panorama using the Z6 and 25-50mm f/4 Ai. Ignore the f/4 in the EXIF since it will not register on the Z camera. Shot at f/11
The little specks on the top of the dunes are people to give you perspective of the size.

That is a really nice challenge. I used to own a Sony mirrorless camera for a few weeks, and I really liked the 50mm f1,4 Nikkor-S.C on that. Used it with an adapter without glass, and it was great.
The Lens Turbo II does cost more then $200?
Usually it does. I bought one off eBay that had the wrong one pictured, but the right description. Initial offer was $49.99 shipped. I was the only bidder. Camera was $100, SD card was $10, lens (both) were $35 a piece. Yellow filter was $5 and strap was $2 in 1983. So, $202.
Wow, Ronny, George and Jose - really super images that could have one spending the kids' inheritance except ...it's the person behind the Z6 or Leica or Hassy that makes the difference. Great shots .
Jose, the tail feathers on the Mallard aren't quite sharp enough

Wow George, magic image.
Can I use this shot as an example of artistic nature photography for my lectures?
I surely will give the credits.
Thanks for the likes and comments everyone
Absolutely Jose. Please feel free to use in your lectures.

Lovely. You could have fooled me into thinking this was captured via infrared.

Beautiful B&W conversion, George. I love how it shows the texture of the sand and the ripples in the sand. Great job!
Scott and Colin,
Thanks. The dark sky was the result of low humidity and red filter in processing. I could never have gotten that effect in the high humidity and haze of a North Carolina summer.
My local photo group has a theme each month and March was Wind. So I was out looking for the wind driven effects of the sand dunes.
A few from the Df, Nikkor 135/3.5 NAI, 35/2 NAI. The 135 lives up to its reputation, though have to watch backlighting with its old coatings. And contrast difference showed when copying basic edits from the 135 to the 35. Df is a fun camera to kick around with!
