You have that wrong. President Biden is not my boy. But stupidTrump (my father was German) is embarrassing the United States around the world.

Embarrassing how exactly? You find the strongest economy and lowest unemployment in over 30 years embarrassing? No muslim attacks on our country during his 4 years is embarrassing? Go check yourself into a long term, impatient psychiatric hospital for your TDS, you have completely lost your grip on reality.  

Toilet paper? How utterly mundane.

Pornography.

No, little child, it is an artistic rendition of the human form. But thanks for playing, you can get your participation trophy and lollipop on the way out. 

You have that wrong. Your boy Dementia Joe is Putin's and Xi's boy and the most pathetic excuse for a President we have ever had. Even worse than obama.

Actually. this is the M42 Nebula, Orion is the whole constellation.

 

Nice photo though.

Great cameras!

 

I have these three plus an F4E and F5. The F2 is still my favorite!

Terrific idea and capture!

Terrific shot, I love the natural look!

Just like BMW, "Hasselblad, there is no substitute". My 500CM is still my favorite camera!

I love the natural look here, natural is the only way to go!

I have the non-multicoated version of this lens and it is fantastic. It works wonderfully on my FTN, F2A and F4E.

Gregory, I just upped the saturation a little.

Almost a hundred photos? AYFKM? It is just plain rude to photobomb this site with that many photos at once. Especially crappy snapshot quality images like those.

The natural look is always the best John!

The natural look is always the best!

Excellent!

Giangiorgio, this image was made from a total of 34 images focus stacked in Photoshop

Thanks Bob! That "old reliable" MF Nikkor and the PB-6 bellows are an unbeatable combination for macro photography. I also have the BR-3 coupler which fits on the bayonet of the reversed lens and stops down the aperture using a cable release. That way you are always focusing at maximum aperture and then closing down before you take the shot (I use a wireless remote shutter release to trip the shutter. In live view it works perfectly!

Greg I am licensed to keep (but not show) venomous reptiles in FL, have been for over 15 years. I had an Eastern Diamondback like this one which was almost 7 feet when it died. I used to gently free handle him frequently and was never bitten. Copperheads are my favorite, in addition to being gorgeous snakes, they are very even tempered, you have to really tick them off for them to strike and usually their first strike is a "dry" bite because it takes a while to replenish their venom supplies and they need them for paralyzing prey.

Thanks Giangiorgio, but all of my Nikkors are manual focus AIS and so I have to do everything manually. You CAN teach this old dog new tricks, but I chose not to! I stick with what works for the last 40+ years! :-)

Outstanding, if this were in B&W, it could be a Hollywood glamour photo from the 1930's or 1940's!

You do have a point there Bill.

 

Your gallery is outstanding as well!

Thanks Giangiorgio, I have had that lens since 1995 and although it is a BEAST at 14 pounds, it is a critically sharp lens and my favorite for wildlife photography!
