Nicely done--hopefully some of the kids out seeing Avengers II this weekend stopped by to see the Grumman version.

It didn't come out of the camera that way..?

In any case, very nice.

No, you are quite right it didn't. It was a very overcast day on the coast in Wales, this picture was taken on the move, (I did stop the car) hence the windshield wipers in the picture. Was post processed in Photoshop and NIK tools to give it that almost mono appearance. The woman was wearing a very strange dress, which was also extremely dirty, like from a earlier fall. Altogether a very strange experience. Happy to have captured it though.

FA 77

Happy Mother's Day

Just trying out a nice used FA 43 on my deck last evening, and one with my FA 31 in the nearby oak forest with blue camas in bloom.

I bought these 2 amigos even though I already own the 20-40 limited zoon. Am still trying to decide which to keep/sell from here.

Fascinating image with that 'I wonder what the story is' factor. I hope you don't mind, but I think it would be better with the stuff at the bottom of the frame cropped out. Excellent though. K.

Yes, that's a good point on the crop. I have finished it both ways. From one perspective it is someone on a modern journey looking at one of another who is walking, I see what you are saying though. It might be a distraction.

It's been a while since I've used the FA77.

Nice shots, but it seems like 31mm is a little too long for this kind of shots on APS-C. I'm really waiting to see how 31/43/77 will perform on FF.
