Still playing with my Minolta 75-200 f4.5 lens attached to my D300 with a Fotodiox adapter. Obviously the setup works. I own a variety of old Minolta lenses. I thought I was buying an adapter to fit my V1, but evidently ordered the wrong thing. Since the adapter's inexpensive, and fits my D300, it seems worth some experimentation. With the adapter on, things work OK, though the camera seems to think this lens is f2.8 and 50mm. Since at this point I'm just setting things by trial and error, that's harmless.

Just south of Delton.

Feeding the children. These are the same baby starlings as in today's black & white ....

Bonley Farm, again, near Mulliken, Michigan.

I was reading on the porch outside our room at the St. Ignace Holiday Inn Express when someone decided to feed the gulls. So I whipped out my trusty Treo--the only camera readily at hand--to take this horrible-but-delightful photograph. The St. Ignace gulls are organized . They post watch-gulls at strategic places, who start hollering when anything interesting happens. Then this happens. Except the hotel's current management now discourages feeding the birds. Seems some of the customers find the practice, and the noise, offensive. That's Mackinac Island at an odd angle in the background.
