Oh, and remember, if guns are made illegal then only criminals will have guns.

Ray Sausanavitch talks with Raymond Marquis after he purchased a gun at Wolf's Indoor Range and Shooting Center in Bristol on Friday. Even though Marquis has a valid pistol permit, the process was delayed by the an overload at Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection because of high demand.
Taken with my new cheapo Rokinon 8mm fisheye lens, mounted on my Nikon D600. This is the earlier non-CPU version of the lens (model FE8M-N), but my D600 handles this well, giving full metering when the camera is set to know the parameters of the mounted lens.
As you can see, the lens is intended to cover the much smaller DX "crop sensor". The lens hood obstructs much of the image circle when projected onto the FX (36x24mm) sensor.
The hood is permanently attached, so it will require some brutal measures to free it. Once removed, the circle cast on my sensor will reside within the rainbow ring here. MUCH more usable area. You can see the inside of the lens hood (circular grooves around the image).
Grotesquely post-processed by Photomatix, this weirdness is not a product of this particular lens.
The Mean Green Machine spends its last day with me.
Seven-exposure HDR. Natural light from windows- no artificial light on subject.
The current owner Willie Shepherd, who is well into his eighties, originally traded two sacks of potatoes for this sweet (at the time) ride.
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).
This photo was made with a Phoenix MZ-5000 650mm-1300mm f/8-f/16 T-mount lens on a Nikon D600.
The lens was made by Samyang in Korea, and is sold under many brand names, such as:
Bower, Falcon, Opteka, Phoenix, Polar, Pro-Optic, Vivitar, Walimex and Rokinon
Rokinon 8mm fisheye lens, intended for use on crop sensor DSLR cameras.
I shaved off the original built-in lens hood to allow this wider field of view.
The camera was a Nikon D600, placed on top of a 4' tall tree stump, facing straight up at zenith.
Exposure time was 30 seconds at f/5.6 and ISO400
This woman, whose brother was a victim of gun violence, was among the demonstrators at the National March On the NRA in Denver.
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, but hopefully not until I have a chance to remove and save some of the smaller parts from this aging derelict.
It weighs about 4,000 pounds, and is considered a baby of its type.
Five-exposure HDR.

I adjusted the levels and curves for this image, otherwise it is as-shot.
The lower part of this psychedelic mushroom cloud image is Route 299 between Bieber and Adin, California.
This is with a 1970s-vintage (maybe early 1980s) orange-colored f/11 Celestron C90 (90mm objective), with a focal length of 1000mm. The newer ones are quite different, and have longer focal lengths.

Truly a bastard yet temporary child. An Olympic Arms lower, a Delton upper, and a Rock River Arms rear sight. Building a lower based on a Delton receiver for it. Then the Olympic Arms lower goes back to its original A2 upper and the RRA sight gets replaced by some sort of optic.
This image was made through a piece of BAADER AstroSolarâ„¢ Safety Film (optical density 5.0). It worked fabulously when I shot the Venus transit a year or two ago, using a carefully made filter holder for my lens, and shooting images of the Sun at 1/500th of a second.
But for this shoot, I intended to use it as an ultra-dense "ND" filter for very long exposures. So I cut the filter down to a size that would fit in my Chinese knock-off of the Cokin P square filter holder. I found a piece of thin card stock that would fit well in the filter slots, then carefully taped the Baader film to the card stock, within the limits of my shaky hands. Last time, my surgeon girlfriend helped me get it all taut and straight.
Unfortunately, there was enough of a gap between the card stock and the filter holder that a lot of light could leak through, so I intended to tape it all up with black vinyl electrical tape.
And of course, I left the tape in the car, so this is my result after a 30-second exposure. Color shift was not as bad as I expected, despite this certainly not being a "Neutral Density" filter. So I'll try again, and be sure to seal up all the light gaps.
An optical density of 5.0 translates to 16-2/3 stops! That's a ND100000 filter.
My, my...

Participants listen to Connecticut Citizens Defense League President Scott Wilson during a CCDL gun rights rally at the Connecticut state capitol in Hartford, Saturday April 5, 2014, speaks out against the state's gun control law passed one year ago on April 4, 2013 restricting magazines to 10 rounds and prohibiting the sale of certain semi-automatic firearms, including the AR-15.
