Sorry your probably not aware of the forum rules. Whenever you post a picture of a spider you MUST add a @MacRy to the post!
Horrible swine!!
Are you starting preparations for TPS? I'll be there on the Monday
Will do, will see if you've got a couple of minutes between customers to catch up! As for Ken, I'm sure he'll drop by, even if it's only to let you know what he thinks to your comments haha!
Just browsing through the net in my
man cave shed and have found this. I would like to caption this as "Solitude".
Thank you all...very kind of you to say so.
Funny, I almost scrapped that shot because I didn't like the line between the snow and trees bisecting the owl's wing. I only kept it because, in my experience, it's unusual to see an owl or just about any bird in full flight with her landing gear down like that.

One of my favourite views in Chicago. A bit clichéd I know but I like it. 2-shot vertical pano with the Samyang T/S. 10-second exposure. Comments always appreciated.

Photo of the Washington Monument, snapped quickly while we were at a stop light, coming home from the Auto Show.

Which LensBaby do you have? I have the Composure Pro II with Sweet 50 optic plus the macro adapters. I love it.
I got hold of a 2nd hand Tilt Transformer for micro 4/3, and I'm using it with an old Nikkor 50mm f/2. My Nikkor 24mm 2.8 arrived today so I have more to experiment with.
Cheers

A veritable cornucopia of religious and spiritual iconography, I guess if you're a stall holder and you hedge your bets, you'll sell something. I have never seen a Buddha looking so drunk and wearing a bizarre pith-helmet before though! No wonder Ganesh looks so shocked!

Morning snack. Pfft. That looks like Breakfast of Champions material is you ask me! (about 30 years ago)
Looking forward to seeing more from your growing Nikon collection.I got hold of a 2nd hand Tilt Transformer for micro 4/3, and I'm using it with an old Nikkor 50mm f/2. My Nikkor 24mm 2.8 arrived today so I have more to experiment with.

If that's your Monday morning commute I'm jealous!
Ha ha, I've had the 50mm for ages. These vintage pre-AI lenses are excellent for manual work.
I couldn't be doing with a Nikon body though, far too clunky

It’s actually Tuesday morning (us New Zealanders live in the future you know
) and today is Waitangi Day, a national holiday commorating the signing of the treaty of Waitangi, which is the founding document of New Zealand. So it is not my regular morning commute, I went out early to shoot the sunrise.

Just as very nit-picky comment-
Spherical aberration actually decreases with increasingly smaller aperture.
Of course, as you said, diffraction starts to become an issue and there does come a point(usually somewhere between f/5.6 and f/11, but it's lens specific and sometimes even sample specific) where diffraction works against increasing resolution.
More heavy metal.
