Paperwork One/Death of the F

15 Jun 2024 2 71
Photographed with a Nikkor-H Auto 85mm f/1.8 lens on a Nikon D2Xs. 100 ISO. This Nikkor-H Auto 85mm f/1.8 lens was made circa 1971. Nikon never provided these lenses in Ai configuration and their production run was terminated in 1977, having been available in F mount from 1964. Alas! Now the F-mount has gone; the Single Lens Reflex is also deceased. A Golden Age has ended. The glory of the incomparable engineering is eclipsed by electronics.

Paperwork Two

12 Jun 2024 1 138
Nikon D2Xs and Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AF-D lens. 100 ISO, where the D2Xs excels. Still a bit of post processing, though. Nothing is perfect.

The Square of the Hypotenuse

24 Aug 2015 1 260
Nothing much to do with Pythagoras, but that triangle in the foreground is compelling, notwithstanding that it's a bit ragged on the longest side. Anyway, for reference: The square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Canon EOS 40D + Canon EF 35-135mm f/4-5.6 lens.

Shoot and Point

28 Jun 2014 283
A completely accidental photograph which occurred during the course of preparation for cleaning the sensor of a Fuji S3 Pro. I uploaded it simply because I liked the geometry, texture, and reflections. The sensor clean was almost a success. There's still a blob of crud over on the right-hand side, where the sweep of the swab terminates. You can't see it in this photograph, nor a good many others. I'll tolerate it for a while. If you can get a photograph like this by shooting through a window pane - and I haven't given it any software assistance, this is SOOC - what does it tell you about dirty lenses, etc? I doubt you need to be over-fastidious.
