Nice colors here, Rich! I love peppers of all sizes, shapes, and spicinesses. Are these of the local Arizona variety?Why not. indeed. Here's a contribution that I don't think I've posted anywhere else yet, although it is getting hard to keep track of them these days!
peppers at the market by Richard Ditch, on Flickr
I'm not sure other than they are of the local supermarket variety. I had just received my 32/1.2 and needed to try it out, so I took it along to the market less than a mile away.Nice colors here, Rich! I love peppers of all sizes, shapes, and spicinesses. Are these of the local Arizona variety?
Thanks again, Rich! Of course, what was I thinking? If I remember correctly, and this post did jog my memories, you have just about every N1 lens ever created.I like both posted shots so far. The Wall fits into my long time interest in Entropy's inspired by an old science fiction books titled What Entropy Means to Me.
I got the 32/1.2 way back in December of 2019. So I should be out tying for more night stuff but I can't think of any place to go locally, or else I'm already in bed asleep when it gets dark out!
Almost. What I don't have is - either of the AW lenses, the 11-27.5, and the 10-100 PD. When I was seduced by a cheap J1 with 10-30 I decided to build out an N12 system while good condition lenses and bodies were still around.Thanks again, Rich! Of course, what was I thinking?

I used to read a lot of Sci-Fi but ran out of time to do it around the mid 70's. but I still kept buying books to read when I reached geezer status (some time ago now). So I've got hundreds of cheap paperbacks found in used bookstores on shelves waiting to be read. By now though a lot of those books would simply crumble if I dared open them. Plus my wife has managed to get me reading mysteries and police procedurals instead.I'm glad that something I did fits into your experiences, in one way or another. Sci-Fi novels are great! You seem to know a lot about them, much much more than me. I've been a serious reader of the classics. Most of my favorite writers are European and Japanese though I do love many American writers, as well.
I suppose that if I lived nearer the center of town and if we had rain to make reflective surfaces I'd try more of that. This is about as close to that as I can manage near my house (V3 with 18.5)Sometimes sleep is more important than late night photo excursions into the abyss. Sometimes.
