Found a nifty little Android app last night! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ir.remote&hl=en I mis-spoke on the video... it works with just more than just the Galaxy S5.

EFCO (Economy Forms Company) an international concrete forms company, based in Des Moines, IA. They use their building as a showcase for their product. So I sauntered over there yesterday for a little walk-around.

Before IT happened. IT being what happened to me tonight. I got a nice used copy of a Nikkor 20/2.8D AF in the mail the other day, and decided to take it on a test run at a nearby courthouse. I like this one because it's full of detail and is a good test subject. It's also in my home town...

One thing that I've never figured out is what's so special about a lens' Groups and Elements? Why do manufacturers even bother to list them? What purpose does such a specification serve? Suppose I'm shopping for a new 50mm f/0.45 lens. I've narrowed down my choices to the FlareMaster and the...

Yes... DIF. Not BIF. DIF.

Returned to the forest with my 8mm and a tripod this time. 3-frame HDR.

...needs a LOT of help.

About the only usable shot from the bird blind today;

Took a walk through the forest with my fisheye lens today.

Made my way to an old factory that not only has been abandoned, but went through a fire last year. First of several: Comments welcome!
