. This forum's moderators are allowing up to three Nikon Wednesday images per week, so share some work!

 

It's been one of those weeks where it was the phone doing all the quick and dirty photography. Which means: Wayback Wednesday! So this time around, my random date took me back to 2011 and a wet day of chasing bird dogs around in swampy duck-retrieving circumstances with the ol' D300 . So feel free to do some time travelling this week, and share those photos.

Okay this is an undeniably crappy macro image. It's the first (and potentially last) one I've shot using two lenses stacked nose-to-nose. In this case the lenses were an Ai-Nikkor 135mm f/2.8s mounted to the camera and an Ai-Nikkor 50mm f/1.8s reverse-attached to the 135mm. The set aperture on the 135mm was f/16, but I'm not sure how meaningful that number is when a "closeup lens" is used. The 50mm was set to wide open. The image is not cropped.

 

Oh, and the subject is a US 5-cent coin (a "nickel" in old-timer parlance) dated 2005.

Good day to clean off the desktop. Here's an elephant seal "weaner" from South Georgia. Hard to imagine the car-sized monster this cute little feller is likely to become.

We have them along the Cal coast, didn't know they were so widespread.

Here's a little bit of optical confusion. A temporary bridge replaces a covered bridge that was burned down a while ago. Between the smooth water and the left-over pier, it's hard to figure out what ends where.

And one from yesterday. It's been a strange spring, some things more abundant than ever, some not showing up at all. In this odd year, maybe it's time to re-decide what constitutes a weed.
