I like the sky in deferent mood. It has a power to effect on our feelings. The sky colour anticipating gloomy day but it still fascinating.
Nice. I love black and white for compositions like these. It tells so much more about detail instead of having someone focus on any colors or lack of.
Wonderful
Beautful
Totally awesome. Many thanks for another wonderful snap.
A lot going on in that picture

So what happened to the 85 mm?
this will raise more questions than answers 🙂 The 85mm f1.4 lens dropped a aperture blade 🙁
Well? You know the questions are coming…
lol +Aravindhan Padmanabhan yeah.. well just one day i was looking at the lens thinking it was pretty filthy and I should clean the front and rear elements so i just flicked the aperture lever on the lens to open the blades and noticed one had come loose and not 'aperturing' with the others 🙂 dunno how long it was like that 🙂 I have in the meantime time partially diassembled it to try and re-seat the offending blade. Its a bit tricky since i do not have any manuals or IPC for the lens so I do a bit then reassemble so that I can be assured i get it back together correctly…hopefully in the next round i will get to the blade 🙂
I would have freaked out and taken it straight to Nikon, you sir have more mettle than I when it comes to lens repairs! Hopefully you can fix it and get her back on to the field and happy 🙂
+Aravindhan Padmanabhan this is a samyang version of the 85mm if i had the nikkor 85mm 1.4 i would have been very cranky 🙂
The lens are precision items however they all are pretty similar in their basic design – i repaired a nikon 28mm f2.8 lens a couple of years back, it had oily aperture blades, took me a couple of goes but I cleaned it and put it all back together and still works fine 🙂
yes but what about that one screw that was left over at the end… I guess it could be worse – what about that one glass element left over at the end 🙂
lol +Rodney Campbell have some faith dude – i am a engineer 🙂 i know what screws are needed and what can be left out 🙂
Spectacular!
