Story of a walk.
I took half a day of holiday to go walk on a trail:
When I saw the support I knew I had arrived:
So I found a parking spot and was already impressed by the scenery:
I came across some signs of abandonment:
I walked up to a little reserve of water:
Following where the water dropped of the rocks
I found what I had seen before and found some more wonders:

Totally agree. Love the dripping water shot especially, but all are great
Looks like a spot to visit again and again Sharp dressed Lily. I would now have one of the sharpest lenses ever with the Konica Hexanon 50mm f1.4 (I got a cheap scratched version), I`m having trouble from f1.4 to f2.8, but then:
Actually it is a protected natural reserve and essential for migrating birds in spring, I was doing a first check to be be prepared. So indeed it was to visit again and again.
My first shots of the dripping water were common and I saw someone taking similar shots, so I thought, I need to do better, ... think it worked.

Aperture test:
I did 2 series: 1.4/2/2.8/4 (just to explore the haze on my new lens)
Just cropped:
Cropped and edited:
where it looks full of detail but hazy at f1.4 SOOC, the hazy can be edited away it seems. Sure sharpness improves at f2.8 and f4, but after editing I quite like the f1.4 and f2 results as well, glow is normal I understood.
I really will need more experience to get focus where I want it, seems the focus is more to the back then where I expected.
P.S.: I did the same editing on the 4 pictures for comparison, certainly not the best editing.

This was a part of an experiment that just ended. The same, but then with Konica T2 + 135mm f3.2 with Fujifilm Superia 200 (expired in 2009):
My mistake to underexpose the yellow flower on the Konica, but was able to recuperate it well. Do not know why I felt like editing it darker then the Nikon one.
======================
That swan shot is lovely
The animal was on a lake with difficult access, this is one of the only pictures where there was not a lot of greenery in between.

Night on the town.
My partner ill and having something to arrange, I ended up alone on Saturday. I went for a pizza and night photography.
The restaurant was in renovation and closed (did couscous in stead):
So lets take you in the alley just next to that:
You go to the castle and surrounding houses:
Coming back out of the alley you are on the main square:
To make it short, some more views of town (people do not believe you can take pictures in the dark, I showed them some on the screen and they learned).
