Lloyd, much much thanks. Let me remember and shall let you know!!:salute:Dramatic presentation of what could be a very simple image. No with words those stones tell... words I want to hear indeed.
Matt, very much appreciated. Angel!, always looking for one!:salute:
Wow! Hermann, great shots (love the OOF rendering of that 35/1.4), and I'm most impressed by your choice of bicycle!! I'm a fan of Moots myself. I love titanium bikes (I have two Lightspeed full Ti bikes, a Tuscany and Blade), and have been coveting my friend's Moots mountain bike. Thanks for making me wish I could get out for a ride today. Cold and raining at the moment. I'll do a ride on the trainer today!Today's post is particulararly for Lloyd, Steve and maybe some other cycling buddies here. Just now it's important "making" miles in preparation for the season!
"Handcrafted in Steamboat Springs, CO" for sure also will be great for the stages of TdF in the Alps and Pyrenees.
(BTW: Pictures captured in a rush on today's practice lap, so sorry for the possibly shaky hands )
All with D 700, 35 mm/1.4G
Rayyan: Thank you for your kind words, sir, much appreciated! :salute:Hermann, super captures. bw is an excellent medium. lovely work.:thumbs:
Ryan: Thanks! From your recent posts I particularly like the B&W picture of SF Bay with the birds. Great capture!Matt, Rayyan, Doug, Steve, Hermann - EXCELLENT work!
This is a flat-out terrific image, Jorgen. LOVE the b/w conversion here. It really adds a timeless quality. And I hear you on that focal length choice. I love my 85 on FX, but I love it more on the DX.Thanks, Steve.
Sometimes, I wonder if I only need one lens, an 85mm on DX or 135mm on FX.

+1, +1 Add my vote on both!!:thumbs:Matt, I can smell the Bear Musk from here! Nice!
Jorgen, both Superb in Every Way!:salute:
And the hits just keep on coming! Another fine set, Ryan. I especially like the flower, the Volvo and the Ducati. :salute:some more for you guys
Lloyd: Congrats on your Litespeeds as well!! Ti is simply a classic. Thankfully for me weather is beautiful this week, as you can see on the pictures. So "making" some more miles tomorrow hopefully ...Wow! Hermann, great shots (love the OOF rendering of that 35/1.4), and I'm most impressed by your choice of bicycle!! I'm a fan of Moots myself.

Matt: Plus my double vote as well! :thumbs:+1, +1 Add my vote on both!!:thumbs:
Thanks Hermann. As for bikes, my first love is really my Cervelo Soloist Carbon. Not nearly as comfortable to ride, but man, I love how that thing just goes!Lloyd: Congrats on your Litepeeds as well!! Ti is simply a classic. Thankfully for me weather is beautiful this week, as you can see on the pictures. So "making" some more miles tomorrow hopefully ...
(And BTW: The 35 is really nice, but the 35, the 24 and the D 700 in the backpack for the shots wasn't that comfortable ) :salute:
Lloyd: Again as for the bikes and slightly OT : When I really go for the TdF stages in the Alps and Pyrenees my choice is aluminum, and then again "Principia" and "Canyon" ... But that are the workhorses, light and bulletproof! Then again that Cervelo is a beauty and a strong bike as well!Thanks Hermann. As for bikes, my first love is really my Cervelo Soloist Carbon. Not nearly as comfortable to ride, but man, I love how that thing just goes!
I hear you on carrying the camera gear. When I ride, it's just the iPhone for photography! :thumbup:
Ryan: Thanks! And yeah, I think the 35G is a keeper anyway ...Hermann...great shots with the bike. The oof area is wonderful with the new 35G
Thanks a lot Lloyd. I learned another thing while working on that photo: After trying out Aperture, LR and C1, I realize that PS is the tool that gives me the results I'm looking for. It's elaborate and time consuming like a manual focus lens, but I retain control over every bit of the photo.This is a flat-out terrific image, Jorgen. LOVE the b/w conversion here. It really adds a timeless quality. And I hear you on that focal length choice. I love my 85 on FX, but I love it more on the DX.
+1 for your own shots. The Volvo Duett is just great. A real Swedish classic beautifully capturedThanks for the comments, all
Jorgen, awesome shots on this page!!!
