Wonderfully effective, Gerard. Did you envisage it mirrored like this when you took it?

Welcome to RPF, Gerard. :)

Yes, mainly 5x4, but not for over a year.

Welcome back, Stan. It has be a while hasn’t it, and I’m glad to hear about the restoration of your sight. I’m looking forward to seeing what you create with the D50. :)

Excellent outcome. Are you sure it doesn’t just zip you back in time every time you press the shutter?! ;)

Ah, someone as impatient as me! And a successful outcome too. :) You were't tempted to covert the metering system to valve operation at the same time then? ;) Looking forward to seeing some shots with the F4.

I do like a nice hat! And I do like a nice picture of hats too! The reflection adds a great element as does the gent in motion. A fine shot indeed.

Welcome to RPF, Charlotte. Dive in and enjoy. :)

Merry Xmas everyone. I hope you have a relaxing and peaceful time in the coming days. What a year this has been, both in the real world and here in our tiny corner of the virtual one. I won’t dwell any more on the struggle that one our longest members has had with his health any more except...
