@RichardT, I really like that first one, great caption as well and more original than my first thought ("battling the wind")


@mariuszlo, good idea to use that fisheye in a tubular submarine, less distracting distortion that way. Works out very well for 16-3 to 5. Also impressive shots from the aircraft carrier and the Concord.


I'm moving to 21 mm now, same place as my 16 mm shots (Wijnegem locks)

21-1: Waiting until the lock chamber filled up



21-2: Door is open, the first ones move out



21-3: The biggest goes out last



21-4: The "Banana bridge", connecting the sides of Wijnegem across the King Albert canal

@ Pieter, Thanks for your kind words, I might try a letter box crop of a wider view ! I like second 21 series myself, particularly 21-6, but the lock shots are an interesting documentary too.
@ Mariuszlo, fascinating tour, many thanks, I think the Captain would have been amused hearing his little cubbyhole referred to as a 'Stateroom' !!
Thanks everyone

Lovely, the 2nd 21 mm set Pieter. Time well spent. 21-5 and -6 are epic!


My day 22 debut (thanks to MINOLTA V LENS 22-80mm f/4-5.6 and modern AF adapters). As the 22 side of this zoom covers the FF sensor with horrible vignet it is better to use APSC. A6100 it is.

22.1: Rainbow zebra crossing


22.2: Block and tacle


22.3: Enkhuizen, de Drommedaris


22.4: Still with rope


22.5: Still with rope


22.6: KL 26


22.7: Enkhuizen 49


22.8: Enkhuizen 49

Day 20

Dyxum Prime Day 2023 - day 20

Robeson County Courthouse
Date Taken: 2023-01-21 15:34:35
Camera Make: SONY
Camera Model: ILCE-7M2
Lens: Nikon 20mm f2.8 Ais
Mode: Manual
Exposure Time: 0.004 sec (1/250)
f8
ISO: 200

Here's finally my contribution with this week's primes, albeit just one lens so far despite that I would have few others that feature focal lengths for this weeks' challenge. And strictly speaking, I am bit pessimistic that I manage to use those tomorrow (oops! today).

HK20.1 Year of the rabbit (兔) has begun!

α7R III + Sony FE 1.8/20 G @ 20 mm, f/2.2, 1/100 s, ISO 100

HK20.2 Rautatientori / Järnvägstorget

α7R III + Sony FE 1.8/20 G @ 20 mm, f/2.5, 1/100 s, ISO 2000

HK20.3 Helsinki Central Railway Station

α7R III + Sony FE 1.8/20 G @ 20 mm, f/2.5, 1/100 s, ISO 1600

Thanks for the compliment Paul, I was also blessed with good light there which helps a lot! I like all your rope stills a lot, great compositions and these photos have a nice clarity to them. It's funny that the road(s) now go around the gate, a modern time improvement that is very far from the initial intention of this building.

Heikki, I like the station shot a lot

Matthew, nice WA macro's, I never think about that possibility when using the lens but looking at these I should really try to use it like that.


My last installment for this week, I managed 6/6 lenses by taking/using more than one on every outing. For sure I'll need the same strategy next week when I have 8 primes in the range


20-4: Cleared patch



20-5: Bridge over frozen water



20-6: Frozen water without bridge



20-7: Treeline



20-8: Looking back at castle Vrieselhof against the light
