violet

Ah -- a harbinger of Spring Just what we need in these bleak times.

Either Viola odorata or V. canina. If colours are rendered correctly, probably the latter. Fons might have another opinion?

colors a very good in the violet/purple spectrum since the low ISO D850 came. High Color Fidelity is a great feature of this camera

Carl, was there a photo that went with this post?

Well, I thought that there was going to be as I was composing the post, My wife said that she grabbed a couple of snaps while at Costco, but when I looked at them, they didn't really show the scene as it was, so I left them out.

Forsythia and sun.

A very nice combo, the Nikon D3s and AF-S   300/4

Murder in the street where I live, six doors away. Two days of police investigations of the crime scene, where the house was a non-go area and the road partly blocked

Traffic regulators try to prevent chaos.  Strange Vivid colours  when I look outside

March 21.  Apparently we seem to run out of the motives...

Assuming that CRT-Nikkor 55/1.2 is optimized for 1/5x magnification, it should also be optimized for 5x when reversed?  The lens was stopped down to f5.6, if I remember correctly.

all encaged?

[golunvolo]

Spain definitely is. Going to work, assisting elderly or sick, farmacy, groceries or walking the dog the main reasons to go out a little

But your school is closed???

Corona related murder? No football, no hookers, stay indoors not easy for testosterol driven males. I am an intellectual, I can work an write and read. I have no such trouble
