Thanks John. That 55 looks special too... ;)

Today, Jan 3rd, I went to see an exhibition of HO scale trains with the intention of grabbing some images, but I evidently left my technique in 2017. I missed nailing focus on most shots. Sheesh!
I need to settle into the D7200, which is way more demanding that my old D200. Practice, practice, practice, is exactly what I need to do. This was the not all that great best of the bunch.

Nothing personal, beyond the contributors there are no signs of interest, below levels of decency, yet pretty common on the internet and social networks in general, "vive l'indifference".

Your final image shows the potential of our effort. Wonderful images that give my day meaning beyond the forum
This does not seem to be the most popular thread of all.
Also not all of my or your contributions are genious strikes some are more footnotes of the day, diary stuff.
I see this thread as a daily meeting point of John, Akira, me and you and some other regulars like Paco or Armando or Keith or Jack .....
-
Fons- I always read these monthly threads as they give me a perspective of another part of the world or another point of view. I’m not very prolific with comments here as the images pass by, but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate what is posted.
You had some brilliant work in December which I really liked and should have commented on at the time.
I’m not posting anything here right now as it is still dark and quite rainy, but I’m happy to look at the screen and see a willow in winter or something frozen from Bent. It makes the day seem larger somehow.
The other thing it makes me think about is how do the people from the far north make it though winter!
-
Cold sunday. The sun made the day look nice. The Ice-cold wind from the East was not so enjoyable
-
John. You bring me the sun. We had none today. But today was the first day without rain after a month of rain every day
-
You are welcome !
Yesterday we had the first sun in 2018, I believe. It's still dark and grey right now, and the forecast is not very good too.
-
We have one more day with sun, three in a row :)
Went to the Zoo, cold, so not many animals out :(

John without a fag? Interesting. I learned how to be able to smoke a few per year without needing to start doing it on the regular. Very nice Interieur shot.

Fons, a very nice one ("Once, the water was this high!")
Frank, I got yesterday a shot from the buildings you showed, not as fine and tightly framed as yours, but with a bit more water.
-
Interesting yellow light, Werner. Yes, more water today, peak of the flood, can easily be seen that the red sculpture is now standing with wet feet.

John, go on strong! Very proud of your already great achievement
Fons, I hope you will not stop. January 8 crack me up ;D Looking at the amount of views I will say the thread is interesting enough on its own and specifically for me. I have not much time lately to either shot or contribute here but I follow this almost every day. Thanks for all your generous work.
This is not Arizona but a place less than an hour away from Granada. Not far from here -another hour- you can find places were Sergio Leone shot some movies, the resemblance is that much.

Production in Japan has stopped. But still to get in a mint condition because the camera was a bit too 'difficult' for the average user. Mine has an image-count of 809, which is of course ridiculous low :D

Thank you all. I feel good. I am off medication, no immune supressors anymore. Just Microbiome Diet plus Frankincense and Myrrh, some Vitamins and Minerals. The center is the balance in the bodily fluids caused by deacidification with herbal teas, vegetable, meat, fish all freshly prepared diet, reduction of allergens like cow milk protein and wheat protein and gluten. I try to sleep well and enough and get one hour of walking and running outdoors built into my day. That all helps to push my book and my house forward at a steady pace, still do my camera work and care for my family. I am a happy man in many respects. Most important: I do what I feel makes sense to me, is important to me and I feel what others think or say or do is not important as long as I live in congruence with my inner form.
That possibly does not make much sense to you, does it?

More than 1 m of wet snow suddenly dumped overnight in my neighbourhood made me prefer an indoors existence for the time being. Easier to motivate yours truly for the real challenge of clearing out the lens house for the upcoming move out of Oslo.

Mikes, thank you, John nice camera the A, whats that dish Frank, sharp lens on the d500 Bjørn.

"I love you all" is a good summary.
1) I prepared much more food than I thought would be required. In fact it was all eaten, before everybody was satisfied. Unbelievable. I feel they ate even though they were not hungry anymore.
2) Bjørn's shot shows how great the D500 is. It is on eye level to the D850 and I use both in parallel every day, so I feel I can say that.
3) The dish is halal lamb chops (1.6 Kilo) plus potatoes soaked in seasoning of fresh herbs and garlic (2.5 kilo) and green beans (1 Kilo). These six klios of food were not enough to feed 6 adults and two kids.
4) We compensated for the shortcoming with several bottles of really good wine.
-
Thanks Mike, Frank and Fons.
Yes, That Nikon A is outstanding, great 14 bits RAWs from the DX sensor, very good 28mm lens, very small size with 11 x 6 x 4 cm, so smaller than the 1 series and a well known menu like a Nikon DSRL.
Food looks delicious Frank.
Great details on the leafs and snow, Bjørn. The lens does me remind a bit of the first Micro 55/3.5

Great lenses, give some distance. Have now the MF and the AF Light (740gram) vs Heavy (1190gram), 18cm vs 20cm, a bit of (easy correctable) coma vs perfection, 1:2 vs 1:1, (but with 4T no problem) Better with Distance vs limited in Distance shots.
The MF is pretty rare in Europe, was lucky to find one. The lens is only 2 cm taller than the 200mm QC. and with that size it fits easier in the camera bag and thus more flexible.

Great lenses, give some distance. Have now the MF and the AF Light (740gram) vs Heavy (1190gram), 18cm vs 20cm, a bit of (easy correctable) coma vs perfection, 1:2 vs 1:1, (but with 4T no problem) Better with Distance vs limited in Distance shots.
The MF is pretty rare in Europe, was lucky to find one. The lens is only 2 cm taller than the 200mm QC. and with that size it fits easier in the camera bag and thus more flexible.
I own the 4/200 Ai-S. Superb lens in the near field, wonderful detail rendering & color fidelity. I do all my spontaneous food shots with it. Bokeh a bit "boxy" and technical in the far field, you can clearly see the hard edges of the aperture blades.
Thank you for you nice comments on my photos.

Got more than 1 m of wet snow dumped over us last week -- now, even the snow pack has compressed and subsided significantly, there is still plenty of it :D

@Bjørn: all the duckweed compressed???

@all: Have to refresh my backups (12HD ==> 2HD after 10 years) for saving room and deduplication and data consistency. That is why my main machine is inaccessible for a few days. I shoot currently, but the shots stay on the cameras
-
Frank, yes there are cultures of two duckweeds buried there under the snow. According to theory, one of the strains should survive in spring, the other not.
No idea what the present situation is -- of course. The cultures are inaccessible :D

A very nice radio alltubes of course, with a great and wide reception, i think it dates late 1950's, the last radio my father bought.

Thanks kind words John and Amando. Yes it have become a pretty normal winter now with -33°C and plenty of more snow. When the image was captured it was unseasonably warm considering the mostly clear weather, and between then an now we also got a good dose of freezing rain with plenty of power-outs as snow did not melt off the trees, but became loaded even more.
