The Official Head-Case Photography Thread.

I've done a lot with photography over the last few months, from re-editing a bunch of shots I took of a car show in a Walmart parking lot (ya rly) in the summer of '07, to mucking about with my 300mm Nikkor to completely missing the aurora borealis we had here.  I also got divebombed by a flock of honking Canada geese.

A few cameras to avoid for those who hate hoarding equipment, they could become impossible to get rid of, especially after mounting unicorn lenses:
Fujifilm S5 Pro (+ 28/1.4E) unique filmic colour, CCD rules

 

Congrats on the SL2. Man, the S5 Pro as the high point of the Fuji-Nikon collaboration and Super CCD is something. Are you processing in LR? Sadly, the 12MP combined high/low (aka normal) pixel raw output, isn't handled in most apps, including C1, so it's a JPG-only camera for me, but love it.

I, too, took a picture of the moon.

Of course, it's not entirely in focus because a bird got in the way.  Stupid bird!

Another photofair today. Picked up an old aluminum case and a Revolution Revisited Kim Komenich photobook, but also a body I’ll probably never run a roll through, however I’ve been a sucker for its look since first seen years ago. $20 for an Argus C3 self piece isn’t bad, right?

And just like that it seems (from lite documentation, but also resolution) that Silkypix does raw process both pixel types. And one version back is only $32. I can't believe I'm going to recommend Silkypix.

As I mentioned a while back, I've been getting more familiar with the combination of my D200 and 300mm F/4.

Taken through my kitchen window, which often results in a hit to the contrast.  In this case it wasn't so bad.

 

The same two deer, two days in a row.

 

Quack, quack.

 

A very technically flawed photo, but a rare case where I caught the great blue heron with his wings open.  They are giant birds.
