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

F4S, 85mm f/1.4 AIS Nikkor an Kodak T-Max 100

The URL below takes you to the "Decorah Eagle Project" in Decorah IA. It is a 24 hour a day camera that watches a bald eagle nest. I have watched it for the last two years. The first chick should be born in about 2 weeks or so. Last year all three chick survived, which is unusual. O the largest...

It's a beauty and a very rare one too!Nikon Reflex Nikkor 2000mm F 11 – 2000 11 Extremely Long Lens 13L075 | eBay

Taken with my "old reliable" F2S and 55mm f/2.8 AIS Micro with Kodak T-MAX 100. The film got N+1 development to bring out the tones of the maple leaf better. I put the background in Zone IV, which placed the lea in Zone VI 1/2. The development bumped it up to VII 1/2. Tonality modification using...

I took this last year and kind of forgot about it. I did things a little differently with this image than I had with other ultra-close-ups in the past. I still shot it in my light tent, but rather than using strobes to the sides and top like I usually do, I used my almost 40 year old Vivitar...

........it was taken with my Hasselblad 500CM, 80mm f/2.8 Planar and T-Max 100 film. I am on a medium format film binge right now. Digital just does not interest me in the least at this moment. It is still a great image though, at least in my opinion! Your mileage may vary. And since it is...

Is anyone else having problems with the site dropping letters or spaces when you type? It is happening with both my laptop and desktop so I know the problem is not at my end.

I have tried this image all three ways; all color, all black and white and spot color with just the lips. I like this version the best. It really draws the viewer' attention to her full and beautiful lips. D700, 85mm f/1.4 AIS Nikkor

This one goes waaaay back, 1985 in fact. I got up at 4am and hiked about a mile to the site. I kept taking meter readings with my spot meter until the sun got just high enough above the horizon to illuminate Ranier but leave the foreground in shadow. I knew the EV difference between the two was...

I have not done any photography in months but I finally had an opportunity to go out and shoot one afternoon. I first saw an image similar to this close to 40 years ago and I always wanted to do it. I finally found the right spot! F2S and 85mm f/1.4 AIS and T-MAX 100 film

I saw this bugger this morning when I went out to get the paper. I am surprised it was out and about, given the time of year. It was about 2 inches long. It is called a "hammerhead worm" and believe it or not this thing can grow to 20" in length!
