I will, bringing a couple MF lenses with me when I go back to Celtic Fest this morning. Spent last night there shooting, but only with AF lenses. It's the 18th year for ours, it's getting pretty big.

Pepperwood is a small agricultural N California town decimated by floods in 1964, this roadside memorial is often hidden by brush, but I happened to catch this rendition of an ear of corn carved from a 6 foot log after a fresh coat of paint.
After watching todays Tour de France pen-ultimate stage .... I was reminded that I had copied some negs from many moons ago.
Taken on an F3 with 80-200mm f4.5
I went to an event at the Manchester Velodrome when Koen De Koker tried to break the hour record ..... and failed
I think his strategy was to use a huge gear, which was difficult to get going, but more importantly it was virtually impossible to keep going.
The event also included a Kierin race, and a recumbent pod race
All good fun .....
And it is to be noted that cyclist at the Velodrome who are involved in racing, have their massages and soigneur work on them right in full view, these guys have no modesty ..... they can't have

Get a recumbent cycle and put a pod on it ..... then go racing
Baltimore this afternoon. Z6 and the Nikkor-T 10.5cm f4 lens. Odd shaped lens, and seems to be a bit more proportionally accurate on the Z6 than it was on the D800.
I saw this on the other board and liked it there too, but just occurred to me these look like the tracks through Waxhaw?

Funny the timing of these discussions. A couple of friends and I started a local photography club late last year. Focusing on taking young photographers or young at heart photographers and teaching the basics. The topics of rendering and how different lenses give different results have been discussed at our recent monthly meetings. Yes, I am trying to push the use of old manual focus glass, and have been successful in a couple instances
I posted the image below to our group without telling them how it was shot and had them try to figure out how an image like this could be done without post process manipulation (apart from converting to b&w).
Showing the extreme example of the way a PC-E lens can tilt/swing the focal plane. I think some were convinced that it had to be done in post. Gave them homework reading about the Scheimpflug Principle (ok so maybe I am stepping outside the boundary of "basics")
Below shot with the Z6 and PC-E 24mm. (Also posted in the Z Images forum but thought I would post here too)
Processed in Lightroom with the B&W Red Filter profile.
Peter I was checking out the R8 LMP in wikipedia. Very interesting history. Looks tight in there, even with the 16 fisheye. Cool looking car, might have been one of these two: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_R8_(LMP)#/media/File:1_and_2_Audi_R8.jpg
Very neat phenomenon Ken. I was reading that there's surfers who are crazy enough to hang around glaciers waiting for the waves generated.
From wikipedia:
First conceived in 1995 by Ryan Casey while filming for IMAX, this sport involves a surfer being towed into range by a jet ski and waiting for a mass of ice to calve from a glacier.[17] Surfers can wait for several hours in the icy water for an event. When a glacier calves, the mass of ice can produce 8 metre waves. Rides of 300 metres lasting for one minute can be achieved.[18]
