w/nw: Segmented scenes


Recommended Posts

Dennis, I think this is one of the nicest photos I've seen you post

recently. Beautifully composed, looks like it might make a nice

print. Avoids cliches, and it's interesting to see you do

something rather straight without a real hook to it, but having a

nice mood.

"It was Nikkor 24/2.8"

 

Denis, for many years that was my standard lens... it was a manual focus AI Nikkor. Much later I acquired the auto focus version of it and while that was a good lens its images were not as crisp and contrasty as the older model. I found the same to be true for the Nikkor 35mm f2 models as well. It all adds to the "conventional wisdom" that they don't make'em like they used to. ;>)

 

Cheers,

 

Dennis

John:

 

Seriously... it was originally spelled Quevian (or something like that) before our ancestors came from Nova Scotia to Louisiana (the French Acadians who became the Louisiana Cajuns). I understand that there are still Quevians in France and Canada. My parents and older relatives all spoke French... I'm still working on English. ;>)

 

A tout a l'heure...

I think you may be confusing pronunciation (coo-vee-YON)with spelling. I think I'm acquainted with French-Canadian surnames, and Quevian doesn't ring any bells.

 

There is a foolproof test however. Assign a person or persons to throw hockey pucks at you from all angles for about 60 minutes. If thepercentage that you catch or block is .950 or better, you have some Quebec blood in you{:-)>
