Thanks all for posting

This should be printed BIG! Could also go in the minimalistic thread.

Impressive Jakov. It works as impact with surprise composition (1/12 partitioning  ?) great choice for pp.

The title is intriguing , but probably better left unexplained

[Jakov Minić]

Thank you, Simone! We had a good time indeed and I am looking forward to our next encounter. It's always inspirational for me

Thank you, Smusesuse! Perhaps I will print it large

Thank you, Paco! There wasn't that much processing involved, just converted to BW and pumped up the contrast. No cropping was carried out, neither have I used any layers or brushes

Thank you, Armando! The title will remain a mystery

[Erik Lund]

Indeed we had a great time despite the weather!

Here is the last image from my journey -

Oh how nice it can be when you have a proper tool to process images
It has been a long time since I experienced a computer being quicker than my thoughts...

[Erik Lund]

Congratulations on the new number-cruncher Images are as good as ever! What a lens,,,

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Aha, the new Mac finally arrived ... congratulations Jakov

And finally, here is an image taken with the modified TV Heligon 42mm f/0.75 on Erik's work bench (back office) and a Grolsch bottle beer just accidentally posing for me. Rare are occasions when alcohol is (not) found in the back office

Brent, thank you!!!
For certain I will be enjoying this lens in the future

thanks for the writeup, Jakov!
glad you'll put it to good use.  cool image!!

Best

Brent

Good question ... but here is Master Erik busy at work expanding the near focusing capability of my 20 mm f/3.5 Nikkor (52 mm filter thread). He needed an extended lever in the lens and a quick raid into Jan Anne's drawers netted us a ball pen just with the right dimension. That signalled the demise of said pen for writing purposes. In return, I got a CPU-modified nice lens able to focus to < 20 cm instead of the former 30 cm, which for a short focal lens confers a tremendous difference.

That's a fascinating picture. And, kind of scary at the same time.
