A trawler on high seas, overtaken by a Deux Chevaux (June 2020) This was for another theme-based Flickr group. The theme was “At sea” or “Riding the waves”, or something like that... Nikon D850, Micro-Nikkor 105mm, ƒ/2.8 G VR lens. Gitzo tripod, Arca-Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Flash lighting...

The Benedictine abbey church of Souillac (southwestern France, June 2022) The transept shot from the gallery. As there are two symmetrical galleries, you can see the other one across the nave, and on the right the small, dark and narrow passage through the stone arch. I had to go through that...

Surf and spray in Quiberon (November 2015) Late afternoon breakers and surf on the Côte Sauvage (“Wild Coast”) of the Quiberon peninsula, southern Brittany. Nikon D810, Nikkor 300mm, ƒ/4 PF G VR lens, handheld.

Brittany, November 2015 The long breakwater at Lomener. A good place to watch the waves break onto the granite when there’s a good northwesterly swell. Nikon D810, Nikkor 24mm, ƒ/1.4 G lens. Handheld.

Ouch...! Don’t look, Needa! (Told you food would be back) Wanna know their names? The white one is called a Saint-Honoré, the other one a Paris-Brest. I could explain why but I don’t want you to keep looking at them for too long. They’re from the Pâtisserie Bouillet, one of the best in Lyon...

One of many striking (I think!) examples of sculpture to be found on the tribune at Serrabone. Nikon Z7 II, Micro-Nikkor 45mm, ƒ/2.8 PC-E tilt-shift lens, manual focus, FTZ II adapter. Gitzo tripod, Benro geared head. Natural light, single exposure. I don’t have a black-and-white shot...

Bravo !

A parade of plugs (2020) I must have been at a particular loss for inspiration in May 2020 when I shot those... They are Quies ear plugs that I sometimes use to not be woken by the garbage truck early in the morning, when we sleep with the window open. Our neighborhood is normally very quiet...

My current PC tower The major advantage when you assemble your own computer is that you can individually pick and choose the components that will make it up. When I chose those components back in the Fall of 2020, this is the box I selected: a “Define R6” model by Fractal Design. I chose it for...

The priory of Serrabone, a largely ignored jewel of Mediæval art (2023) Today we are in the Pyrénées mountains that make a natural border between France and Spain, for a brief glimpse at a truly unique place, the so-called “priory” of Serrabone, which features an absolute world-class...

Brittany, November 2015 The small breakwater at Lomener. Beyond is the place where the Aven and Bélon rivers jointly flow into the Atlantic. Taken with the 135mm Zeiss lens, wide open. Nikon D810, Zeiss 135mm, ƒ/2 Apo-Sonnar lens, manual focus. Handheld.

Agreed, some contributors are harder to understand than others. :rolleyes: I guess this is basically about the OP being happy that Nikon released a pancake lens that they will use on their Zf. :)

Very good light on the last two.

The light in the chapel Of the three Romanesque churches to be found in the city of Poitiers (central western France), Saint-Hilaire-le-Grand is the grandest. In fact, it is one of the most impressive Romanesque churches I have ever seen. Built between, roughly, 1020 and 1070 on the location...

A Navajo horse A Navajo mustang sculpted in a block of turquoise. Bought in Arizona during the 1980s. Nikon Z7, Micro-Nikkor 105mm ƒ/2.8 macro lens, FTZ adapter. Gitzo tripod, Arca-Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Flash lighting. Composite shot made of 25 focus-stacked exposures, set automatically...

Saint-Gabriel, a Roman-inspired Romanesque wonder (2022) What could be humbler than a humble Romanesque chapel sitting in isolation in the middle of the countryside, a few kilometers away from the town of Tarascon (southern France)? Except that this wonder of Provençal Romanesque art that...

Brittany, November 2015 Late afternoon sailing off the Côte Sauvage of the Quiberon peninsula. Nikon D810, Nikkor 300mm, ƒ/4 E PF lens, handheld.

Always irritated me, too, so I decided to do something about it. The AI did not do as good a job as usual (probably not enough pixels to work with on this older, smaller photo), so I had a go at it the old fashioned way, and here is the result:

Recent lens, old hood Even though it looks (on purpose!) a lot like an old Nikkor lens, this is a modern-day Voigtländer Nokton 58mm ƒ/1.4 lens, manufactured in Japan by Cosina, with the full approval of Nikon Corp. It is an amazing and wonderful little lens designed for Nikon’s F-mount, which...

Oh. Never thought I would ever stump you on the subject of forum features! :eek:
