<p>One more shot of Akashi Castle with the FDn 35-105/3.5 + Canon EF. One formidable lens.</p><div></div>

Formidable looking castle...great colors / exposure shooting up into the sky like that too!

<p>Thanks Bill. Enjoying your work. Also Grey, Richard, Louis. Excellent contributions. And everyone who I haven't mentioned. This is great month not only for quantity but also for quality.</p>

<p>From a recently acquired Canon RM and R 35/2.5 lens on expired grocery store Fuji Superia 400. Allegedly, its original owner was a very famous comedic actor! Given this RM's many strange quirks and foibles I have little doubt.</p><div></div>

<p>Drizzly and damp, nature versus ugliness.</p><div></div>

<p>Resistance and oppression.</p><div></div>

<p>Great shots, Rick James!</p>

<p><strong>I don't know how many years this big stump has been in the shoreline waters of this lake, but I bet its more than a few.</strong><br>

(F1N, FD 80-200mm f4L, Velvia 50 (cropped))</p>

<p>The sheet of water from the paddle rising up gives it a nice little touch of movement / action</p>

<p>Thanks Bill, a good observation.</p>

<p>Downpour<br>

<p><strong>Pretty December Sunset today.....we've had a couple days of clear chilly blue sky weather and with a front now approaching saw some thin clouds beginning to materialize late this afternoon. Grabbed some gear and headed for a local lake, set up at a spot where I figured the sun would be going down behind a big cove. Got a few keepers like this one. First shot just as sun was settling at the horizon, 2nd shot after it had been down 15-20 minutes.</strong><br>

The last photos are great. Kayak, downpour , carp, sunsets, and anything else I have missed. Great! December has

been a fantastic month! Happy New Year everyone!

<p>Okay, here are a few. They were taken with an EOS digital camera using a no-glass FD-EOS adapter, which forced me to work up close.</p>
