Marcel's 2015 daily, weekly, photo gathering

[RockyNH_RIP]

I did a few experimental shots using long hand held exposure while zooming. Some were junk but I got 2 that I think are interesting.

My abstract shot of the day on the theme: Frontiers of the unknown

My abstract photo of the day, (morning shadow on the wall) to the theme "the limits of the unknown":

 

[Marcel]

Not a great shot, but a test done with the 55 1.2 Ais and a Kenko extension tube 20mm. Severely cropped as well.

 

[Marcel]

My flowers are slowly drying and loosing their freshness. Playing still with the 55 1.2 and this time close-up filters. In front of the mirror. From jpeg out of camera.

Fall morning showing the fading nature of things around the backyard. DF, 55 1.2 with close-up filter and/or 20mm extension tube.

Colored light and shadows caught in a church this afternoon.

Our cat watching what's happening. Df 55 1.2 Ais, out of camera jpeg resized. It's a sharp lens when you can get it in focus...

Fall colors explosion. Df zoom experimentation. From jpegs.

Nothing to say but Wow!

I want a Df!! This thread is killing me, trying to save for the D400 the day it comes out.....
@Marcel and the Df is a match made in photo heaven!

 

[Marcel]

Still experimenting with zooming, I get interesting abstracts. But I also did a straight cat portrait. I used the D7000 as my Df is at Nikon Service Center. I found the aperture lever was not doing it's job properly and the more I closed the diaphragm, the more over-exposed my shots were. The D7000 still does amazing shots.

@Marcel I received a serious NAS/GAS test yesterday. A Nikon Df is being sold nearby on Craigslist for $1650. 1000 snaps, it is as new with box. As I stated above trying to stay the course with my D400 fund is difficult with you continuing to post these amazing Df images!

If any Nikonites want the link to the item PM me. It is located in metro Boston. That way it will be gone and I won't buy it.

Well it's here... the snow. I had the intuition to install my winter tires yesterday.

[Marcel]

A few more shots from today. I finally had some time to stop and shoot.

post 332 Marcel, are you zooming as you click?

Yes, I'm zooming as I exposed. But... I'm holding the lens steady and rotating the camera...
