Townend, in Troubeck, with the 20mm lens (which I generally seem to use just for cramped interiors)...
Gorgeous weird light/clouds pattern over Glasgow few weeks ago. Thought it was beautiful.

An approaching thunderstorm early in the morning.
Two really beautiful shots. Well done Ken and Chris.
Who doesn't like popcorn!
I'll have to check the forum rules but I think you could get banned for an admission like that.
From the same early morning shoot. I had to leave rather quick after getting the camera out. The lightning was striking closer and closer. Not safe.

Thanks. We usually get a few bees and butterfly's hovering around, but I haven't seen many this year yet.

Dynamite combination...storm clouds, sun and no wind. Well captured Chris.
I've run out of decent holiday photos so something from Chicago instead. Comments always appreciated.

Kind of a double post, but also kind of a follow up to a previous post I made in this thread. Haven't moved into our new house yet, but I went back today in the afternoon to shoot the old swing again. Took my Leica M and 50 lux lens (only mentioning it because I think Kenoh has been expressing some Leica lust and I've been thinking about shooting the swing with both the Leica M and my Nikon at the same time and starting a thread showing comparisons )
First shot is at f/1.4. The second is at f/2.8. The original was with a Nikon 24-70 @ f/2.8. The one shot at f/1.4 is a bit "dreamy" for lack of a better word--much of the swing is out-of-focus but the grass is *really* out of focus. Lends the pic the fuzziness of childhood memories. In the f/2.8 shot the swing is *mostly* in focus with the exception of the front corner. The light is obviously different for both shots taken today compared to the previous shot I posted.
Hope you can forgive the double images. Variations on a theme though

I love the first one. Very dreamy.

Put my Voigtlander 15mm on a helicoid adapter today and it focuses crazy close.

Thanks!
I went out today and shot it again on a tripod with my Leica and Nikon. Got there later than I hoped and I don't think the light was optimal. Haven't reviewed the images yet. Going to be easier to find the right light once we've moved in
