I spent yesterday afternoon and evening in Pescadero, California with several friends from my Night Meet-up group for the lighting of the Fresnel at Pigeon Point Light Station. It's normally an annual event, but due to California's budge woes they didn't light it last year. We got here several hours early anticipating a huge crowd. We set up along the edge of the first field south of the lighthouse. There were already a lot of people set up down here. Fortunately Sunset was before the lighting of the Fresnel so it didn't compete with the lighting. This sunset was gorgeous! I haven't seen clouds like this here ever before. I loved the texture, and colors. It was breath taking!
I brought only one wide angle lens with me for this shoot. My new/ Used Manual Focus Nikkor 18mm f/3.5 AIS prime lens. I do love how wide this shot is! I settled on this lens instead of the newer AF-D 20mm f/2.8 because it's wider. I was afraid 20mm wouldn't be wide enough all too often.
I've only had the lens since Monday this week, but so far I'm pleased.
The colors are good, it's seems sharp, and I'm getting used to selecting my Aperture on the lens rather than with a wheel on my camera. Setting up the Non-CPU data in my camera was simple- thankfully.
The weight of it at just over 12 ounces is just what I was looking for.
This evening was a good outing to give this lens a good trial run.

I've wanted this CPU cooler for a while but had no need for it, well, after my other died it was all the excuse I needed!
This is the inside of my ShuttleX PC. The square metal plate is a heat sink covering the AMD CPU, and the attached tubes are filled with liquid to dissipate the heat. The liquid is kept in circulation by convection currents created by the difference in temperature at each end.
This is Jesse adding the thermal compound to the top of his CPU. This part is not an exact science and always scares me the most; especially since it's dealing with the most expensive part of the build!
Did you ever imagine you could do debugging assembler really *by* hand? Using this 3x2 meter CPU demonstration model, you actually can ;-)
However it's supposed to be used for teaching purposes. It simulates an 8-bit CPU, you stick plugs labeled with asm commands in the RAM, switch bits with big switches and see the calculation steps and register contents on large lamp displays (of course not yet LEDs ;-) ).
Just funny what you stumple upon in our basement ;-)
