Had a good lightning storm last night! I was using the Nikon D-850 and an old Nikkor 50 f1.4, this one was built in 1967 or 68. I have had one of these lenses, not the same one, more than half my life. They do the job. Thanks for your attention

posted a picture from the Perseid meteor shower a few days ago. That one had a meteor. Of course I made more than one photo, but that was the only one with a shooting star. However this one looks good also. Nikon D-850 and my 16mm f2.8 Zenitar fisheye lens. Thanks for your attention

I am hoping for another good storm, but for now another one from the last storm. Nikon D-850 and an old 85 f1.8 Nikkor. Thanks for your attention

Testing out another Kodak Medalist. Since this is an original, rather than an II, it probably served in the Navy in WWII. They are amazing cameras; fun to bring them back into use. I was using Ektapan 400 and processed in xtol. Thanks for your attention

Another hummingbird, still using the Nikon D-850 and the Soligor 500mm macro lens. This is a mirror lens, so it's pretty small and light weight. Good for shooting hand held. Thanks for your attention

Apparently Humming birds eat bugs as well as sugar water. Nikon D-850 and my old Soligor 500mm macro lens. Thanks for your attention

I shot this a couple of weeks ago with the Compact Graflex. Really interesting camera. Built about 100 years ago. Originally used a 3x5 pack film, but I modified it to use standard 4x5 film holders. This is a single lens reflex camera and had shutter speeds up to about 1/1000th of a second. T-max 400 processed in xtol. Mine has a 5x7 Bausch & Lomb lens on it for now…
Thanks for your attention

I made this a couple of weeks ago with the Hasselblad 1000F and a 135mm Zeiss Sonar lens, both made in the 1950s. I had Kodak Ektapan 400 loaded in the camera and processed in xtol. Thanks for your attention
