Hong Kong island from the Harbour Grand hotel rooftop pool.
To me this shot is about the colourful reflection in the water - and the lack of boats in this long exposure.

Great shot Andy. I guess dust is a by product of the environment you were in for so long.
You probably know this already but if you use LR then there is a 'visualise spots button/slider' that you can turn on when the spot removal brush is selected. Helps identifiy the smaller critters.

Thanks Colin, I am vaguely aware of the feature but have never tried it. The number of dust spots was more caused by my never having cleaned the D800 sensor

This was one of the few days I used my D800 as I had neglected to charge the batteries of the XT-1. It took me a LONG time to clone out a LOT of dust bunnies that were on the D800's sensor visible at f16. I am looking to print this so will have to go over it again with a fine tooth comb on a big screen to try and spot any I have missed !!!
Colin what a terrific 2 shot PANO. I got around the NOCT FL by doing PANO's to capture wide shots and see you are doing the same with nice effect. Plus they're fun to compose and make
Todays offering are steam tractors. Hard to believe they were the Tesla's of yesteryear.
Yesteryear Tesla - love it.
I only took a couple of MF lenses with me so panos were always going to be an option to utilize..
As much as I like the 24/2.8 for close work the 50/2 in pano mode will produce a far better landscape image given its performance at infinity is superior. So, I agree with your approach even if there is more PP work involved.

Colin, very beautiful pano shot of HK harbor. The 50/2 H was my first Nikkor lens on the Nikkormat that I bought in 1971. I don't use it often, but it always impresses when whenever I do. Your recent shots make me want to get it out as soon as I feel some photographic inspiration—which seems to be totally absent now.

Keep up the amazingly beautiful work.
Thanks Ken.
I was in the doldrums a month or so ago. A change of scenery helped.
Here's another 50/2 pano (5x3 frames) to hopefully get your photo mojo flowing again. Go on - your 50/2 needs some camera time!
Classic view from Victoria Peak - taken early evening as we were waiting for the sun to set.

How would an AI lens work on Z6 and FTZ adaptor, for example, Laowa 105/2 STF for my Z6? Has anyone used this lens on Z6/7?
Thanks
One of the advantages of shooting with a mirrorless camera is that you can use any lens via an adapter. So, the AI lenses work great on the Z6, or my Fuji. or...

Colin really nice Hong Cong capture I like the PANO's.
Here is a set from early today at an interesting site, the Empire Mine, an iron mine, which is located due south of Negaunee/Ishpeming Michigan. Long thought by conspiracy theorists to be the secret site of the White House/government operations in the event of a nuclear attack.
A 13 shot PANO with the NOCT. The "mountain" in the rear is not a mountain at all. They are tailings from the iron mine which is miles deep. The shot is a 180 degrees and from left to right about a 3/4 mile ( 1 km) distance.
The last is a pyramid that Robin's dad built early on in his career.
