Wonderful having good friends visit... Chin, Buddy and Jose. Congratulations on your new camera Jose. I have no need for so many megapixels but I certainly understand how they can help someone going long, as you do most of the time. And a reminder to those who are new to the thread, Jose is an ornithologist eternally taking photos of birds that he has generously shared with all of us.
Spending so much time at the computer, which most of us are doing because of Covid, finding a bit of relief from life's challenges makes a visit to this thread a must. We just keep rolling along. In six weeks we'll be marking the TENTH anniversary of this thread. Hope everyone is able to drop by on August 22 to say hello. This is a rather remarkable feat in the internet world. We definitely have to thank Fred for keeping this website going as well as a thank you to each other for keeping the conversation going. I guess if we weren't enjoying ourselves we would have left as many have over the years. But somehow the draw of these lenses continues to inspire us. All good.
I do thank Fred quite frequently, for hosting this space. I think about you guys almost every other day, and about how uh I would like to take photographs and post more frequently, but as Chin said, Covid has the world in it's grip and takes us for a rollercoaster ride. The past 3 months for me meant being away from home 12+ hours a day. There were days where I left home at 5 in the morning (which has become the new normal for me) and return after 22.
With another 3 weeks before I get a few (5) days off for the first time since April (I had 2 or 3 days in March), I grabbed an oportunity to take some pictures last Sunday, and process them yesterday. Nothing speial, but these were the results of a 4 hour hike with Kristina, Anouk and all 3 of our dogs.
I visited the area before. And I think I posted some photos of the wild horses roaming that area here as well.
I only took 2 lenses with me. The 35mm f2 Nikkor-O and the 105mm f2,5 Nikkor-P
