"You never walk alone" must be a good motto for any NG event.

Wow, what a cool shot of Maman! The dark clouds and the colour of the Guggenheim work so well in this shot, even the couple in black and white fits perfectly. :)

Some coffee to boost the brain for a long night - this was shot two hours after midnight.

I vividly remember the 'Venus Transit' event of 2012. Bjørn J and I shared great adventures before and after the Transit.

The weird look of the front assembly of the 1200 mm Nikkor was due to the need for putting on a solar filter *and* keep light leaks away. When I assembled the bits and pieces, I discovered the diameter of the filter was slightly too small to allow the filter to slide over the rim of the lens barrel. Thus, danger of light leaks was imminent. I found that the front casing was hold in place only by a small grub screw and managed to get it out, thus removal of the casing was possible and thereby allowing the filter to mount safely. Not what you want to discover immediately before the unique Transit commenced, though. I got my shots so all is well that ends well.

Also nice to see the moderately sized Sachtler in action. The fluid head usually is atop its bigger brother.

And here in India, a lot of them are focusing upon some acrobatics  :D

Somnath the acrobat must be a star considering the amount of attention :)

Here is a famous beer can pinhole image of Erik and Jan Anne :)

Jakov, we are around 1.3 billion here, so that amount of attention can be categorised as "sparse" in our term  :P
