Hi,

That first GMC, that was what I learned to drive on at age 12. We had two for farm trucks. One, a dually flatbed just like that one and the other, a regular pickup truck. In farm country in most states, the farm truck can be driven on the road at age 12. No license, no registration, no insurance, no inspection, up to 6 miles away from the furthest field for that farm (not the farmstead). Good enough in most areas for Dad to send you into town for something. All it needed was the farm name painted on the doors or a tag that read: Farm Use. Treated just like a tractor. Ours were 1946, new just post-war. They were the pre-war design brought back until the redesign halfway thru 1947. Which is the style of the other GMC in the series.

That one isn't the one we had, though. Ours were painted John Deere Green. We were also the local JD dealer. In old railroad stations. One of these days, I ought to go back and shoot the old shops in MF. I think I have them shot with a Nikon D1 long ago.....

I watched a YouTube video about a hypothetical spaceship traveling in our galaxy and beyond.... Gave me a renewed appreciation of our spot in the universe, special place.

Thanks for sharing Mike.

I had my second COVID vaccination jab yesterday, and they advise against driving for 15 minutes after the injection is given. So I loitered around after with my camera as there are abbey ruins close by...

Took a few sunset shots in Hong Kong this weekend.

#1 - Sunset at Sai Kung bay. Popular boating area.

#2 - Sunset profile of Mount MaOnShan. This one will tap your energy. Fairly easy but super steep and slippery close to the top.

#3 - HK waterfront. One of the IFC towers on HK island.

#4 - HK Waterfront. Convention Center.

Excellent images. The first has lots of 3D pop.

You are doing a great job showing off the 28-45's image quality.

So I've been sent sample images from another 32-64 from the 100mp GFX100 and guess what, it's not nearly so bad. I'd say it performs like a good 35mm 24-70 or 16-35. You'll never call it a replacement for a bag of primes but it is more or less fine so I retract a lot of the critism I made earlier.

The lens is exactly what I was hoping for and looking for. For a landscape photographer it really is the ulimate solution.

So were the bad pictures from a different bad lens or just finger trouble by the photographer?

You know we're not going to let you off the hook so easily now, don't you? :-)

Lovely shot, Mike! As usual...

[RICHARD L.]

I am with Cartier-Bresson on sharpness. ("Sharpness is a bourgeois concept")

Well, if I have to choose between a sharp and a fuzzy picture, my eyes are naturally drawn to the sharp image. Why do we pay huge sums of money to buy the best lenses manufacturers offer ?
