Got around to some MF shots from the IMSA race in early August
These are 16mm f/3.5 AI on the crop sensor of the D500, something I rarely do, but I was in a bind without a 20mm on me and full fish on the D810 was far too wide for what I wanted. On the second one I really missed the built in flash of the D810 to light up all the dark space with a little fill
Lovely shots Ken, and as far as I know, no time limit on age of the shots Keep 'em coming!

I am continuing to process images from road trips David and I took in 2018. I've been reluctant to post since these are not recent shots. I'm not doing anything even remotely worth posting these days. These are from Valley of Fire state park near Las Vegas, NV. All with 25-50/4 on Df.
Yungaburra is at one end of the lake where the banks are grass and farmland. The opposite end is NP, forestry growing Queensland hoop pine mixed with rainforest. We camped up there last week so will post some from there tomorrow.
Andy totally terrific series and must have been a great trip to see as much of India as you have. Great Great photos.
Here's some from the "last roll" taken in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan ! A place called "Lakenland" started by a returning veteran and hand made/welded and cut junkyard art. Noo fee for admission but donations gladly accepted !
However, I did promise that I would post pics from the camping at the NP rainforest end of the lake
Sorry if you think some of the pics a bit dark, that is how it is in the forest.
Sorry so many pics !
Loving the Z6 ! Only thing I would like is film presets like the Fujis have.
They use existing trees to qui ckly get up to the canopy, eventually strangling the host tree hence the name _AGM0572 by AndyMacDougallPhotography, on Flickr
Mature strangler fig, you can see how it's vine like structure has criss crossed the host tree, eventually swallowing it's trunk. The large buttress roots mean that the fig can stand up on it's own even after the host tree inside dies and rots away
I have just returned from 4 days in Glacier scouting possible compositions for the fall colors and covering many many miles in doing so. The weather was on again/off again but it did clear Saturday night - 1 night after full moon. I have been becoming interested in night time photography (as I have posted earlier), so I set the camera up (my Sony A7RII) and experimented. In the film days I had tried many times to shoot by the light of the full moon, but to no avail. Nowadays, with these high-end sensors, things are very different.
To many of you, this may be old hat, but when I saw the output I was really blown away. Unlike our eyes with rods and cones, seeing black and white at night, these photos were like day time shots - but with stars! It is a little noisier than I expected, but not too bad, I think.
Most of my shots were with my Sony lens (so not here), but I did bring along 4 older manual Nikkors - 20, 24, 55 and 35-200 zoom. This is from the 24 f2.8 non-AI. I wish I had also brought my Df to compare - maybe Oct 13 - next full moon - weather notwithstanding.
This is from the Two Medicine Lake area - looking at Mt Sinopah over the smaller Pray Lake. It was very windy (normal for here), so the clouds were really zipping and the water very choppy:
I'm glad to see everyone still contributing to this thread It makes me want to get a Df and an MFNG again. I've been away from the hobby for 3 years and sometimes I miss taking pictures again.
I... just returned from South Australia. Last Thursday, I lost control of the rental car while doing ~70. Loose gravel at the sides. Veered into the opposite side and slammed into a tree, with airbags deployed. We walked out without much injuries, couple of bruises, lacerations on my arm. Car's totalled (the rental agency and now the insurance guys are, less pleased) but I feel absolutely lucky we're all alive.
Glad you were relatively unscathed physically. Is that 70 kph or 70 mph? Hopefully insurance covers the car fully.

110kmh... About 70mph?
Insurance won't, sigh. I just tell myself it's just material wealth, I'll get it back somehow. Navigating the claims process now and it's been rather painful.
