It's actually 4 photos that I combined into 1, but it tells a little story.

Far from perfect, but, hey I have just started with photography. I was trying to focus the

One of your real estate images?

Not as easy as it looks is it? Anyway welcome to the best hobby on earth (and one of the most expensive!).Far from perfect, but, hey I have just started with photography. I was trying to focus the
bumble-bee.

Notice any issues with the adapter or AF as fast as it was on your F-mount?
[doublepost=1566579574][/doublepost]
Nicely done.
I don't seem to have any issues with the adapter or AF. This image was manually focused though. I haven't given AF a true test with an adapted lens yet but can't foresee any issues.

Sharing one more from the archives. 2008 from a trip to Hawaii. This interesting gentleman has (had?) a shop on the island of Maui where he makes leather sandals by hand. From his website (Island Sandals): "Michael Mahnensmith is the proprietor and creator of custom made sandals. He learned his craft in Santa Monica from David Webb who was making sandals for the Greek and Roman movies of the late 50's and early 60's".
D300, 18-200mm @ 44mm. 1/125th sec, f/4.5, ISO 1100.
This was the trip where I learned that Ken Rockwell gives horrible advice--shot everything as a JPEG in Program mode with the saturation boosted in-camera as per Ken Rockwell's advice. This file is decent, though I have many shots from the trip that weren't--blown out red channel, obvious color artifacts, cartoonish colors overall in many of the pics. The D300 seemed to base its auto-exposure solely on the green channel and JPEGs (especially with the saturation boosted in-camera) often produced less-than-optimal results, especially regarding the red channel. Only shot RAW from this point onwards. Fool me once...

No, Leu Gardens. A historical house and gardens. House still not re-opened after hurricane damage, but at least the blue tarps are off the roof, new roof and probably doing interior repairs. The gardens are expansive and a prime wedding venue. Don't really like that photo as the DOF is too shallow. Have one I will post tomorrow as I changed the 85mm for the 55mm, stepping back a little further for far better detail.
Yeah I took like 6 shots to achieve this one. Yeah, well, thankfully my fiancee is into photography, too so she understands how much this hobby can cost.
Sponge merchant building at Heritage Village
A follow-up to yesterdays with a broader view (and better DOF). Earlier reply/post gives details that not one of my real estate shots. 50 acre garden part of a historical home.
Just playing around with reflections, saw an article in a magaizine and decided to have a go, i think i might need some new spoons though for my next attempt!!
