Stow Lake Moment

Lumix G5, Nikkor-H 50mm f2.0

I love the image "signature" of this lens, especially for B&W images.

Has anyone else paid attention to your lens signature? :)

Dan, for some reason, when you create a post on Blogger, I don't get a notification email. So I didn't know about your last few posts until I came onto the blog to upload my post.

Sorry for the delay, but I will comment on your excellent images very soon.

Continuing to post shots from Stow Lake, turtles sunning on a log. Turtle's Life: sunning, eating, swimming, sleeping, I'd like to do that.

Sunlit Wavelets

Lumix G5, Lumix 100-300mm

The ducks and birds were peacefully enjoying the late afternoon sun, one day at Stow Lake. I was attracted by the reflections and the light patterns on the waves, and I thought that the scene would make a nice black and white image.

Tranquil Stow Lake

Nikon D200, Nikkor 28mm f2.8 AF

I'm interested in your thoughts on this one.

Last Boat In

D200, Nikkor 35mm f2.0

It was a late Sunday afternoon on a beautiful day, and I overheard someone say that this boat was the last one left on the lake, and the boat house workers were waiting for this family to finish their leisurely ride around the lake so that can all go home.

Mythological Winged Creature

D200, Nikkor 35mm f2.0 ai

Well, that's what it looks like to me. :)

What does it look like to you?

One of My Recurring Subjects at Stow Lake

D200, Nikkor 35mm f2.0 ai

It was a beautiful, warm day today, and I was compelled to take a walk around Stow Lake with the D200 and 35mm f2 Nikkor lens. I don't have a camera strap for it yet, so I carried it sans strap. It is a solid piece of gear, which is just slightly smaller, in size than the D100, but much more solid and dense. This is because of the D200's magnesium chassis and metal body. It has a much more rugged feel than the D100, and it feels more like a relative of my F-series Nikon bodies.

Heron in a Tree

Panasonic DMC-G1, Lumix 45-200mm

Maybe I'll venture out there one of these evenings with my 500mm :).

The herons nest here every year on an island at Stow Lake.

Canada Goose

Panasonic DMC-G1, Lumix 45-200mm

I went to Stow Lake yesterday to see the Great Blue Herons at Stow Lake. There were only a few there, on a far off tree, and the light was not very good.

I sat on a bench to watch them for a while, when some Canada geese came around hoping for some food.

A Fall Day at Stow Lake

Konica FS-1, 40mm f1.8 Hexanon, Kodak BW400CN

The Hexanon lenses are really amazing.

I think BW400CN scans better than XP2. Anyone else notice this? (I know, only a couple of you still shoot film, so I don't expect too many answers to this question :) )

Opportunists

Voigtlander Bessa R, CV 35mm f2.5 Skopar, Ilford XP2

These large and aggressive Canada Geese have edged out the local gulls and pigeons for a free meal.

The Lookout

Chinese Pavilion at Stow Lake

Empty Dock

Panasonic DMC-G1, Lumix 20mm f1.7

Twilight at Stow Lake, this is the empty boat rental dock (when the boats are taken away for the night).

This is my 3rd post for the June Project (reflections).

Boats at Rest

Panasonic DMC-G1, Lumix 20mm f1.7

Another twilight at Stow Lake, with rental boats at their evening mooring spot, resting up for their next busy day on Stow Lake.

This is my post #2 for our June Project (reflections).
