Until they realise you have ‘Professor’ in front of your name, that you don’t care what they think of you, and that you will fail them if they don’t take things seriously! 😂

PS my wife used to be a model and likes seaweed.

Good answer!

All the best,

It's probably quite a decent chat-up line in Japan!

I am not a phycologist but have done a lot of work on seaweeds in several contexts. Japan is one of a very few places in the world where arriving at immigration at the airport and saying “I’m going to the university for a meeting/conference/workshop/study trip about seaweeds” is most definitely not seen as peculiar.

I have been happily married for long enough that I can reliably say that I don’t really know what a chat-up line is anymore…

Thank you. It's very kind. But I am glad you like my Flickr portolio. I am afraid the photo here of the three ladies has to give a lot of credit to the famous Nikkor 180mm f2.8 AF ED. It just has a way of capturing skin otnes that are to die for. I wish I could do it all the time. 🤪

I have that lens in a manual AI mount. I use it both with film. bodies and a D750. Spectacular glass.

I have both the first AF version (late 1980's??) and an early non ED version. (I think it may have been factory converted from non Ai - I could find out from serial numbers, but have not done so.) This MF version is not so good as the later MF ones with ED glass, but it is still a very competent lens. I have noticed that the images made with certain Nikkors (the 85mm f1.4 AF D and the 180mm f2.8 AF ED both being examples) have lovely rendering of skin tones as well as bokeh.
