Paco, special thanks!

Bjørn, how come we haven't seen that 200-600 lens during our many gatherings. Is it worth using now that the 200-500 VR exists?

Of course. I don't own the 200-500 VR and have no plans in that regard either.

Why you haven't seen it? There are *many* lenses in my possession not ('yet') accompanying me on the various trips.

Beautiful ones, Bjørn.

I am not so fond of 'Campings', but visit friends occasionally who wants to spend their valuable time in such a 'resort'.  Sunset is usually the moment to leave...

John: as long as you escaped the peril, there is at least one to tell the tale for the next generation :D ...

One early example of digital photography, with the D1 and the 17-35/2.8 (and no, this does not indicate I'm running out of minimalistic images - sorry to disappoint !!. The image just briefly appeared during a routine search for something entirely different)

More images unearthed from the search referenced in my previous post. Perhaps a specialist 'Fences'¨theme could be instigated?

Like Bjørn, a search for something else yielded this. From New Zealand (like in the boats&trains thread), champagne pool in Rotorua.

Bjørn, I remember that image of the fence from your review of the d200. I love it.

I go bowling, I come back, and I find these majestic images... left speechless!

Apparently we have homed into a 'fences' section of the minimalism theme. That sits all right with me - no shortage of fence-related picture for sure in the archives.

belongs to the b/w thread as well.
 
Df with the Lensbaby 56mm/1.6 velvet
which shows a lot of fall off at wider apertures
but clears stopped down,
basically a lens with 2 faces because at the short distance of 13cm
where it has a magnification of 1:2
