Samyang / Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 fisheye lens.
The lens hood has been “shaved” to allow a nearly full circle image to be captured.

Shot on Gould Street in Reno.
This is what remains of a 1976 Cadillac Sedan deVille. 1976 was the Bicentennial year of the USA, and surely one of the low points in American automotive production. The fact that the 500 cubic inch (8.2 Liter) V-8 engine still runs at all is nothing short of miraculous...
This was my first time shooting fire dancers/spinners at night. Some post processing was required to get the results seen here.
I used my Nikon D600 with a Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 "APO" macro lens with internal focus motor ($100 used on eBay).
I have a bunch of other shots of the firedancers in this set- check 'em out if'n ya like this sort of thang.
This image was made from seven exposures, ranging from 1/1000 sec to 4 seconds long. The exposures were combined using Photomatix's Exposure Fusion function.

This is a wonderful example of what one can expect when out and about in Lewis County, New York.
Photo taken in the Hamlet of Brantingham.
The Persian emperor wanted to be able to safely
impose his tyranny on the people of Greece.
So he demanded that they surrender their arms.
Leonidas of Sparta retorted in classical Greek,
with the now-famous phrase:
“Molon Labe”
which means
“Come and Take Them”.
2,500 years later,
Molon Labe still is used
as a cry of defiance
against tyrants
trying to disarm a people
who want to be free.
I opened up this pack to inspect it before use, as the flash it came from is quite old. Some charge / discharge cycles on my Accucel-6 charger showed that it retains about 1,300mAh discharge capacity.
10 Sub-C NiCd cells in series (12 Volts).
Thermal probe for over-temperature protection while charging.
Norman part number B4126 or 811926

Here's a view with the aluminum cover slid off.
The MW6208E USB controller chip is visible. Knowing the part numbers of the ICs inside a flash drive can help you to Google up the correct software to reprogram the drive back to actual capacity.
You don't want to leave the drive as-is, because any data written to it beyond the actual capacity will corrupt the drive.

This photo was made with my old Nikkor-S 50mm f/1.4 lens. It was made in 1972 or 1973. It is quite scratched, dusty and maybe even has a little fungus growing, along with damaged coatings.
Nonetheless, it is fun to play with. I performed a crude AI-modification to the aperture ring (I used a file). The lens now works perfectly with my Nikon D600 (full metering and focus confirmation).

Here you can see the nut that binds the antenna to the PCB. The base of the antenna is threaded brass, making this a VERY easy mod. Just drill one hole in the plastic top cover of the transmitter, poke the antenna through the existing hole in the PCB, and tighten the nut.
YOU'RE DONE!

This is my Kearney & Trecker horizontal milling machine. It was made during World War II, and was presumably used to produce parts for the war effort.
It has been sitting in my yard for quite a few years, and is missing some parts, some of which were sold to bring new life to other old K&T mills.
It will soon be scrapped, unless some intrepid parts scroungers save at least some relics from the aging derelict.
Norman LH2000 flashtube, as lit by three more of the same model tube. This one was inside my photo tent, illuminated from each side, with the backdrop blasted out to nearly pure white by the third tube.
Each one of these tubes can handle up to 2,400 Joules of energy, about 240 times as much as the little flashtube in your point&shoot digital or disposable film camera.
The LED "flash" in your smartphone works on a totally different principle- there is no easy direct comparison to a strobe, except perhaps the brightness in Lumens. This is not a measure of total light energy output, but is still interesting. Newer smartphones might have an LED with about 50 Lumens of brightness, perhaps a bit more.
This flashtube, on the other hand, would be WAY into the millions of Lumens, though for a far shorter duration than the LED, so the total energy (exposure) difference is not as great as implied by the vast difference in instantaneous output.
The very short duration of a strobe is why they're so useful for stopping motion, camera and/or subject.

Nikon D600
Holga HPL-N pinhole lens
40mm focal length
f/160 (.25mm aperture)
ISO 100
The Holga vignettes substantially on the D600's full-frame FX sensor, but I rather like the effect.
I've found that in full daylight at high ISO (6400 to 25,600), the D600 can do handheld shots at 1/30 sec., quite a fun thing to play with!
