Pentax K-1, SMC Pentax-M 28/2.8
I went to the UPS store this evening to ship my 14/2.8 back to Rokinon for some warranty service. The cashier at UPS made casual small talk to me about my pre-Columbian jet necklace and neither of us geeked out as intensely as we wanted to. Regrets.
I drive George nuts with this. These are all the glasses with varying amounts of water that I bring to bed with me and forget to bring back out the next morning. Plus one cup when I had tea in there one evening.
I don't know why I do this but I may need help.

e siècle et il est possible que le Conseil municipal y ait siégé.

The quirks you find in the Temperate Forests of British Columbia.
These are shot with a Canon 50mm 1.4, 'reverse-mounted' (a fancy term for literally holding the lens in place with my hand), and shot at f/8, and a shutter speed of 1/90 to 1/300.
This is tricky, with a focus distance of an inch or so, and a DOF of even less. Because of the overcast sky and the narrow aperture, high ISO needed to be used.

Lowood – C17 N°983 – 20.11.69 C17 N°983 has arrived at Lowood with 366Up goods on 20th November 1969. The driver and guard discuss proposed movements before commencing to shunt. This conversation and the ensuing cooperation between members of the crew resulted in the work being carried our as expediently as possible. The guard has donned his apron prior to coming forward to speak with his driver. This item of apparel was commonly used by guards to avoid soiling their clothes while coupling and uncoupling during shunting operations. The canvas hose on the side of the FGW water truck was used to fill line side tanks for fettling gangs. This duty was typically carried out weekly by designated trains on most rural lines.
BB18¼ N°1078 Rosella 11.9.67 BB18¼ N°1078 stands at Rosella with 50C bound for Sarina on 11th September 1967. The load consists of a FGW water truck, loaded molasses tankers for the Power Alcohol Works and empty sugar boxes for Plane Creek Sugar Mill. The signal at the left is one of two protecting the 2’ gauge crossing that can be seen under the third wagon.
Gympie – 227D DEL1410 – 19.3.68 The driver of DEL 1410 is sanding steadily as his engine battles to bring 227D alongside Apollonian Vale. The pipe in the foreground leads to the Distant Signal which can be glimpsed in the distance. A ‘D’ suffix on a train number in that era indicated the train was worked with a DEL.
This is a stitched composite of three photos captured in April of 2010 on the Green River in North Carolina. An earlier unprocessed version of the major component was posted then as well:

Although long my intention, it wasn't until recently that I felt ready to undertake to produce this version. In addition to stitching in the lower portion of the image, a substantial amount of work went into "cleaning" and cloning out leaves and other detritus that seemed to distract from the effect of the underlying subject: it is an open question as to the the success of this effort, let alone the wisdom.
