I realize that not many of you own one, because they are somewhat of an esoteric lens and can be expensive. But if you have one, post your images here! This is one of my favorite. It is I-110 which splits our town pretty much right down the middle. In this particular are of it, downtown, both...

Nikon FE-2, 55mm f/2.8 AIS Micro Nikkor and Plus-X @ ASA 64 I have a 16x20 matted and framed print of this in my living room.

But it is one of my most favorite recent portraits. Hasselblad 500CM, 80mm f/2.8 Planar, Kodak T-MAX 100. Nothing compares to the Blad!

I shot this in my next door neighbor's pool. He was home but not his wife! The absolute hardest part of this project is to find a woman who 1) does not have visible tattoos and 2) does not shave off all of her pubic hair. F2S, 105mm f/2.5 Nikkor P and TX developed "hot" to enhance the grain

I won't tell you her exact age, but she and Israel were born the same year And yes, she has had a little "work" done.

I wonder what the atmosphere is like on Planet Paltrow. I would bet it is 100% helium. Just when you think some celebrity could not say anything more stupid, someone like this steps up to the plate and hammers a homer right over the left field stupid fence. Gwyneth Paltrow: Mean words hurt...

This fort, which is located on the Naval Air Station in town, dates to 1839. It is quite an interesting place to walk around. This window leads to a powder storage area. The bars were put there by the National Park Service, they are not original. Most of the fort is open but there are still...

I have wanted to do this shot for a long time. It is a 360º panorama taken in the Barrancas National Cemetery here in town. It is quite old. It predates the Naval Air Station, on whose property it now resides. Some graves go back to the Civil War. This image is a compilation of 16 images...

I just love how the flare from that old single coated 105mm f/2.5 adds to the atmosphere of this shot. Not everything has to be super sharp and contrasty! And the grain just adds to the charm of the image.

I took this self-portrait about 5 about two years after I retired and yes my hair really is STLL that short ) years ago at our 3/4 scale replica of the Vietnam Wall. I am looking at only one name, SP4 Thomas “TJ” Chandler. He is on Panel 6E, Row 9, third name in. He was a very close friend of...

Our daughter got accepted into Graduate School at FSU today. She starts classes in the fall and the state of FL is going to foot the bill while she continues to work!

F2S, 105mm f/2..5 AIS, Kodak Plus-X @ ASA 64

I shot this a week ago but have been so busy with work I did not have time to process it until this morning. I found an old beaten up 105mm f/2.5 Nikkor P "silver nose" on Fleabay for $50. The cosmetics are pretty ugly but the glass is perfect. I used my F2 along with that lens and Tri-X exposed...

It is sharp as a tack and light as a feather. I can feel a big difference between it and those hefty 105mm f/1.8 or 85mm f/14 AIS Nikkor .

We have gotten almost 20" of rain in the past few days, even more than we had with Hurricane Ivan. Our normal April precipitaton is only 4 INCHES. Our downtown area, which is only a few feet above sea level, is flooded. 30 mile stretches of I-10 are closed due to flooding. I am waiting for...

And the photos in the auction don't do it justice. The lens is absolutely immaculate. In fact it looks and feels BRAND NEW! Even the front and rear element cap look new. I am guessing someone got this lens, took a few photos with it and stuck it in a closet somewhere and forgot about it. I have...

I count myself as a proud member of the former. They are light, compact and easy to focus due to the limited depth of field. They are free from CA and are generally sharp as a tack. I had a 500mm f/8 C Reflex Nikkor for the longest time and I still regret selling it when I am lugging around my...

I received (10) 36 exposure rolls of Tri-X a few days ago and have two models lined up. Now all that is left is to find the times when my schedule fits with theirs! Stay tuned, sports fans!!

I just won an auction on Fleabay for a 135mm f/3.5 AI Nikkor and including shipping, I am out a whopping $76.50. :eek: It is a birthday present from my wife, though she doesn't know it yet. For that kind of money I doubt she will complain. There is honestly nothing else I need or want. The...

A pecan orchard about 20 miles from my house. Nikon F2, 24mm f/2.8 AIS and Kodak Plus-X rate at ASA 64
