Wind-energy over the centuries...

D850  Voigt 180/4  (from Yesterday, bit busy today with tax and accounting affairs) 

Which is where?

[Fons Baerken]

Instead of the disappointing Z6 (LifePixel) I put the full-spectrum D600 into use today. The lens was the 105/1.4E, which does work for emulated false-colour IR, however has a tendency for developing a diffuse hotspot. That issue didn't crop up here, though.

Big worm?

Interesting image and processing Nasos.

 I  bought the 300 vrII because it was a very good deal with the idea to be able to sell it for almost what I paid in case I needed something else.  I´ve wanted a fast lens like this for a long time now I know many people here already know its virtues but I´m new and very impressed. Far, close, tripod or handheld at any aperture, oh my. I can´t wait to put it to service for anything on stage.
   Same construction site in front of my window, today started rainy and then very sunny

Tom, you captured beautiful light and atmosphere.  Your assumption should be correct.

Thanks Akira for your kind words. When I saw the woods with my eyes, the leaves sparkled like fireflies. As I write you, I now see that my photo misses some of that, but that's what I was going for. Post production is so hard for me!

[Nasos Kosmas]

Thank  you Paco it’s LR preset on IPad very quick and convenient

As for your construction picture I find the machines look like  a toy not real for some reason, only the wooden palette guides me to reality

Birches are breaking buds and exhibiting copious amounts of pollen-loaded catkins.  Not a good time to be outdoors for a hyperallergic Birna. Just sneaking out for a quick shot, then driving rapidly home to the inhaler device.

300mm f/4.5 Nikkor ED (non-IF), D600 full-spectrum. The spring colours are pastel-like.
