Another sickly tree I'd been photographing fell victim to a storm. Ironically, the living half was what broke off as it offered the most resistance to the wind...
The Paul Bunyan statue looking at other storm damage was humorous too.

Labor Day, Monday September 2, 2024
The last one was frustrating, 90 degrees off from the previous one but metered accidentally off the sky so the ground was way underexposed. Savaged as best as I could as I like the composition. (edit: sensor cleaning tonight too it seems).

We take seriously that Labor Day is the end of summer around here. It barely broke 61 which is pretty good as we had no sun that could be seen. Such is life in the PNW. M240 + Skyllaney Bertele Sonnar.
The Pacific can be seen but hardly identified just off the tip of land at the far left. It is 14 miles from the camera and home to the Columbia Bar, just about the worst stretch of water in the world. The USCG has a school across the river for training crews to work on rough waters and students come from all over the world. YT has some vids that give you the idea. Columbia Bar - Wikipedia A Merchant Marine friend's advice to me about the Bar was, "Stay of the effing Bar." He'd been across it a few times.
NB - That large two story office building with a porch on the front is in the movie Sometimes I Feel Like Dying which was shot here in Astoria. It's an odd movie, it's an odd town.

Every time I see photos of you working on lenses I am reminded of the axiom to never trust programmers with screwdrivers. ;o)

Yes- the first couple of thousand if the 5cm F2 Nikkors were collapsible mount, min focus of ~3.5ft. The rigid- the 5008 series go to 18".

Hey William, not sure if you've covered it here in the thread, but what Sonnar are you using for these shots? Has oil leaked from the aperture onto the elements? The bloom/softness looks cool in black n white.

Currently I'm using an uncoated 1937 Zeiss Sonnar 50/2 in a collapsible mount. Lovely lens,

There's this Rooster statue down by the university. Really a nice bit of work, The last one I wanted to get the morning sun in the east into the frame (rooster, morning, crowing, etc). Doesn't really work but it's an interesting failure so unlike several other images in the set, I'll post it anyway 🙂
