Matt Laur Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Important: please keep your image under 1000 pixels on the longest side for in-line viewing, and please keep the FILE SIZE UNDER 300kb. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site (at Flickr, Photobucket, your own site, etc). Are you new to this thread? The general guidelines for these Wednesday threads are right here:http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00W7km. This forum's moderators are allowing up to three Nikon Wednesday images per week, so share some work! My official Nikon Wednesday Thanks to Shun for launching this thread last week - it was just one of those weeks and he stepped up. Thanks, Shun! As it happens, one of the projects that had me tied up was taking place in a building that was having its high-tech lobby/entrance rebuilt. As I got there one morning early in the heavy fog, the two brand new flag poles were waiting to be installed. It will be many, many years before those are horizontal again! Shot anything works in progress? Share some photos! Used a Z6 at ISO 100 and 1/5th with a 24-70 at 56mm and f/11.

greg_jones3 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I have been doing a lot of scanning lately and I just have to upload this image taken on October 18, 1980 with a Nikon F2A, MD-2 motor, and 105mm f2.5 Nikkor on Kodachrome 25. It's been 40 years! Yeah, I miss K25 but also love my D750 and AFS lenses. Mt. St. Helens in the Cascade Mountains of Washington state. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgelfand Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I remember Mt. St. Helens. Luckily I was in LA at the time; even there we got some fine grit on vehicles left out over night. From the picture, it looks like you were in an aircraft. What type? What were you doing there? I know the ash and dust cloud played hob with aircraft engines and even the engines and drive trains of ground vehicles. Airlines avoided the area like the plague. Great picture! Wonderful lens and film to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_jones3 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I was a partner with a friend who owned an SNJ-T6 World War II Navy trainer. I convinced him we needed to fly that day, and he piloted and I was in the aft seat. The T6 has a plexiglass canopy that can be opened. We were not flying in restricted airspace. As we neared the mountain, I pulled back my section of the canopy so as not to shoot through plexiglass. That is quite invigorating in October at 9000' elevation, at an air speed of roughly 135mph. I just wanted to capture St. Helens against Mt. Adams in the background. Right when I started shooting, the mountain erupted. I shot the 36 exp. roll in a few seconds, and we did a hard turn to the south and got out of Dodge. In reality, it was a smaller eruption certainly than the one on May 18, 1980 and what you see is the extent of the eruption. Just like most photography, it is a matter of being in the right place at the right time with the right equipment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgelfand Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 You certainly "captured the moment." Congratulations. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
