Nice. Here's the only shot of a blow hole I took while stationed in Hawaii. This was on Oahu around 1965. If I recall, I had a Yashica rangefinder at that time. I didn't buy my Nikon SLR until 1966 in Yokosuka, Japan when I was stationed aboard the Oriskany

has any one even heard of green toe haha, they have some e mount lenses and such, just curious if any one has heard anything about this service

I have used Greentoe in the past. You may find that one of the retailers is a well known seller of photography equipment in NY. I bet you will not be disappointed, give them a try.

Here is the Batis 25mm wide open (I cheated and added just a touch of surface blur on the background - just wanted it really smooth):

Some very nice stuff on this page, guys.

Speaking of the FE 55. I have it and don't seem to use it much. I need to force myself out of my comfort zone and take it with me next time I go shooting.
I do have an issue with it (besides the CA): That filter thread size is kinda silly. I have almost everything at 67mm or 77mm, with step up rings in between for most of my ND shooting.
But the FE 55 doesn't quite fit that system.
I suppose I should reinstall the SR app again and go back to using that for long exposures. I had stopped using it after finding that I didn't always like the results it produced.

I really need to sell a couple of my lenses and streamline the kit. Right now it's a bit all over the map.

I put this one over in the Pano Thread...hadn't shared it here yet.

I had tried to shoot this pano with the SR app, and it didn't work. Each image was processed by the camera differently and resulted in slightly different exposures and even on the LCD I could tell that they were going to be too far off to warrant messing with them, so I reset up with the right filter to get 10 second natural exposures. So now I know not to bother with panos and the SR app.

Travis, I really like this shot. I have a tiny bit of cc, I hope you don't mind. I would love to see a bit less water and a bit more sky and move the horizon from middle. Could it even be cropped by pulling the bottom right corner in until the right edge is just beyond the last all building? Otherwise it's a great pano

I don't mind the crit at all, I am always open to it. A little of my thought process, just for discussion...

That is the one thing I get bothered by with panos, is the centered horizon. But the only way to really shoot them and not lose a lot of image to warp is to center...I guess I could have shot wider and cropped, but I shot this with the B25 because the sky above the frame was not very interesting, so I didn't shoot with the B18. I also really wanted to include the ice covered seawall on the left, cropping up took that away...and I wanted to include the skyline from the Shedd Aquarirum, the building on the left, all the way to the end of Navy Pier, which is the little rounded light blips on the right. All of my wants to cram the image full ended me up where I am...

Overcast skies and incessant rain here – so just casting around for subjects to photograph.

Fruit thrown into water makes for some interesting(?) compositions. Keeps me amused anyway.
