Serge, thanks for the continued Italian tour. Enjoying the storytelling as well.
Rafael, the 55 CRT flower photos are outstanding. I'm sure there's some PP magic being performed as well on the color and tone but the overall images do have some amazing character.
Glen, I've heard about birch bark canoes but pretty sure this is the first time I've seen pictures. Thanks for sharing and making them look really old with the PP.
Siphiwe, very nice 135 AIS and D3 flowers. There some magic to the D3 sensor generation and the AIS era lenses.
Playing with 2023 shots. 200mm f4.0 Micro AI, starting with a built in LR b&w preset.
Masterful composition Ray.
Give a photog any lens and the results will be similar.
The rarest rangefinder Nikkor lens: R-Nikkor 5cm 3.5, only known copy in world . (feel like a circus ringmaster when I say that!)
Same flowers but someone rearranged them on the vase, can't duplicate the 55mm 1.2 'O' photos. Vignetting added.
