Thank you S.Smith. Those were the good times, when I could afford fishing trips to remote places.

Very good shots Tom, I like the second one.

EXIF is off on these. Forgot to change after using the fish eye lens

This was taken with the 5cm f2 Nikkor-S at f5,6 on a D3 body.
Processing: NEF processed in Lightroom, exported to NIK Silver FX and used a few filters on there. One of them a very light sepia toning. Another added structure detail.

Lovely B+W conversions. I've said before that your skin tonal palette in your conversions are great.

How's the Summarit 75mm? Better than Heliar?

The Sid and JJ , many thanks.  I've been shooting Soccer for quite a while and love shooting a good match.  A boring match is just that, get 100 or so standard images for the teams then mess around keeping one eye out for something interesting.  Just becomes work  .  I have so many skin tones in a soccer match, every thing from Danes, Italians, Nigerians, not to mention the many Indian skin tones, many  .   Black and White is the shortcut...    Until the D750 everything was CNX2 

JJ,  the Summarit M cleared customs late last night.  Now DHL is waiting for a "Gate Pass" to take it out of the Airport.... Grrrrr  .  I really like the little Voigt 75 2.5 but am hoping the Leica is better and different.   Hopefully I'll have it by Saturday.

Buddy, I really like the boots

Thanks Tom. I really liked them as well. You know what they say about never judging a person before you walked a mile in their boots?
Well, these boots lasted me well more then 10 000 miles

Looking forward to yet another summer

Børge, so bucolic and delicate. The framing effect of the protective horses and the subtle  white veiling. Love it

Thank you Paco! Your comment mean a lot to me
