(927) Sunset and Gull

You'd think that after almost two weeks with no municipal garbage collection, I would have been able to find a closer gull.

This was shot at about an equivalent 1600mm focal length - an early `70's vintage manual focus Nikon 400mm, on a F-mount sigma 1.4TC, on a F-4/3 converter, on an Olympus 1.4TC, on an E-3. Iso3200, 1/2000s. I actually added the vignetting.

Not quite the dumbest thing I've done with a camera this week, but close.

(926) Cityscape II

Another same-but-different photo, this time posted three years after the original.

(925) White Script on Orange II

This is one of those same-but-different photos.

This and the first one were both shot with an 85mm prime on my D700 at f/5.6. But the trick is that I own two different 85mm Nikkors - the f/1.8 AF-D and the f/2.8 PC-E tilt/shift.

(My only other F-mount lens is a 50/1.8 shoot-through body cap.)

You'd think that there'd be some governing body to stop me from getting my hands on a lens that lets me force the world to be square and level, but there isn't.

(924) txting

Thirteen seconds at Yonge and Dundas on a Friday afternoon.

(This photo is an exception to my usual black+white=IR rule.)
