Hallo Michiel,
Mooie foto! All the best, Leica 77.

 

[Michiel Schierbeek]

Thank you Leica77.
I have been been in Indonesia as a quest teacher at Bandung in 1984. Beautifull country.
You are fast student, you write Dutch fluently

All the best, Michiel

Hallo Michiel,
Great to hear that you taught at Bandung back in the 1980s! Here is one more image from the forest. "Taking a Nap". GF1 + 20mm. Best, Leica 77.

Just wanted to say I really enjoyed your shots of the monkeys. The bokeh created with the 20mm lens is really pleasant.

"Macaca fascicularis". GF1 + 20mm. A change of pace from flora to fauna. From a recent travel to the Indonesian Archipelago.

Amazing, fantastic, wonderful! I can't say enough about this portrait.:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

to Leica77 : lovely monkeys, did you give them a print of their portret
to Michiel : very beautiful iris, mine are just starting to open, but I cleaned the pond a little too intensively last autumn
to seakayaker : you seem to have an inspiring collection of lenses. Very nice pics !

and now :

Rafael's FLAD #11, G1 with Zoom-Nikkor 28-45/4.5

This is a quite rare lens, I've never seen any for sale on Ebay or else.

Hi Cindy, Rafael, and Dan,
Many thanks for your kind comments. Monkeys are delightful creatures in wilderness. All the best to you!

Hey, Dan - you seem to be keeping up with the LADs and the FLADs, even though you have not officially declared yourself :deadhorse:

This composition is unusual (leaf down the middle), but I like it a lot.

. . . . . perhaps, a FAD . . . . .

if I was to try a LAD or a FLAD, I would be making a quick entrance and exit due to the limited # of lens that I have . . . . .


The shot is unusual and perhaps should have named it 'breaking all the rules' but I do so like the yellow irises in the background!

. . . . . and I am having fun . . . . . :thumbs:

Coral Poppies

GF1 with Leica - Ernst Leitz Wetzlar - Hector 135mm f/4.5 -- ISO 100 -- f/4.5 -- 1/320 -- 135mm

. . . . . to get a bit exotic (at least for me) I dropped by a small camera shop where just about everything is used (95%) and picked up this 1960 era lens. Walked home in the rain and took some shots close to the house.

I like the bokeh . . . . .

Hi Lisa,
It's a beautiful bokehgraph. The Micro-Nikkor 55mm lens (both f2.8 and f3.5 versions) is certainly one of my most favorite lenses. The sharpness and bokeh are both extraordinary as shown in your post. Best, Leica 77.
