Ruth and I watched the excellent Japanese movie 'Drive My Car' (based mainly on two separate short storys. 'Drive My Car' and 'Scheherazade' by Haruki Murakami)  after having extracted her own snowed-in car, requiring double action with shovels. This is a snapshot of a neighbour's car the same day. Lots of snow where you don't want it

Nikon Z5, Nikkor 70-180/2.8, IR. Wet snow makes IR scenes rather dull, due to the water content of the snow. But that was the only camera available to me at the moment.

Very snowy shot Birna.  My favourite writer, by the way ;-)

This works for me Fons
Did using the PC lens change the results, or what you were able to achieve?

John - i like your close detail on the vase
Kasper - Ive never had to go inside one, but there's something about the low contrast of your Isolation (ward?) that adds a feeling of bleakness

You'll have to zoom in to read the light at the end of the tunnel

[John Geerts]

Thanks Colin.

Hopefully it will be Spring soon     Nice tunnelview.

The yellow tulips I photographed a few days ago now have entered their terminal stage. I managed a few snapshots before Ruth threw them out.

Just a few test shots with the pc on the Zf for a low down view, thank you Colin!
