Thorkil,
Thank you for the informative video. As you say it seems quite civilized and safe. I participated in a deer culling event at Montezuma National wildlife refuge at the north end of Cayuga Lake one time many years ago when I used to hunt deer with bow and arrow. It was a chaotic, badly organized event and very dangerous with untrained hunters shooting arrows indiscriminately through the trees with no regard for the safety of others around them. I stayed for less than an hour and left, thankful that I wasn't killed.
Best regards,
Carl

Carl, yes that sounds uncivilized and very dangerous. Glad you left. When keeping the numbers down one has to do it skilled, professional, precise and as quiet as possible. Luckily they now use silencers, and it all make no fuss and is almost unnoticed.
Kind regards
Thorkil

Some of Cornell's recent grads were lucky to have a beautiful, sunny Memorial day to walk around the arboretum ponds with their parents and friends before leaving the area. All with the Fujifilm GFX 100s and 80/1.7

Dog walkers take notice! I guess dog poop is not good fertilizer for flower gardens.

Great shot Joe. I love the sounds these birds make; I sometimes find it reminds me of a mysterious language.

Thank you Bill !
I had to get some help from Google about Constable, and I can see what you mean .
Just passing by I expected the deer to fly away, while being rather close, but they were calm and in harmony, so just rushed the camera up.
Only when I got home I realized it reminded me a bit of the spirit in the pictures the famous (at least in Denmark) “golden age” painter Johan Thomas Lundbye (1818-1848, yes died in a war accident only 30 years old), of which I was a huge fan from I was teenager and up. Right now there will be a Lundbye-festival in Denmark this summer and a photocontest inspired by the Golden Age painters universe..

Here's a couple images I took yesterday near Breckenridge, CO. Both were taken with a GFX 100s on an Arca-Swiss M Line 2. The top image was taken with a Rodenstock 60mm HR Digaron-S at f/14. The bottom image was taken with a Schneider 47mm Digitar at F/11. Enjoy!

Ram's Head Lady Slipper, a rare orchid found on the Saugeen Peninsula where i live. We have 46 species of orchids here, of which this is one of the smallest. The head is about 10 mm long. XF/IQ4/120BR

Another orchid, our most common, Yellow Lady Slipper.

Couple of garden shots using the Canon EF 16-35 f/4L II at 28mm. Kipon AF adapter. AF is usually OK, but there are times that focus is away off or just refuses to focus at all. I am hoping to see a new zoom from Fuji with a comparable focal range.

White Iris focus stack with the GFX 100s and GF 80/1.7. Focus bracket wanted to do 143 shots but I cut it off at 12.

As the first flush fades, I am happy to have the time to edit and process all the images shot thus far.
