Thanks for all the positive comments about my infrared moon shot. Much appreciated.
Given the amazing eclipse pictures of late I seriously deliberated whether to share it or not.
I uploaded it on a whim - just before heading out to spend a few days 'being a tourist' in London.
Alas, images from my trip to the capital will be limited due to my decision to stick with, dare I say it, one AF zoom for each my two cameras. My wife and I swapped between the IR DX and FX.
The 16mm fish and 55mm did make it into my small backpack but didn't get much action.
Reduced weight and convenience was the order of the day since we walked over 13 miles, every day, through the streets of London for 4 consecutive days.
The fisheye was included because I wanted to capture the architecture of the British Museum inner courtyard and also Her Majesty's Theatre where we took in a West End show. It also works very well on DX.
I tried my hand at street photography. Nowhere in Ben or Philippe's league but I learned a lot from my mistakes, disappointing results, and a disapproving wife (since my target subject matter naturally gravitates towards the fairer sex). I will upload some frames onto the “MFNG shooter's shooting AF lenses” thread but here are some IR candids using the 16mm f/3.5
