Perhaps helpful information for users of the Canon 1D series APS-H format cameras:

 

For some of Canons more modern EF-S lenses there are replacement EF mounts available to buy. The DIY mount conversion is easy, as there are only 6 small screws (4 for the bayonet; 2 for the contacts) holding the EF-S bayonet.

Additional advantage is the now metal mount, as there was always criticism for the plastic lens mounts.

 

I have successfully converted following EF-s lenses to EF mount:

Canon EF-S 10–18mm f/4.5–5.6 IS STM (covers APS-H from ~12mm and even full frame from 14mm upwards)

Canon EF-S 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 IS STM (covers APS-H from ~22mm)

Canon EF-S 55–250mm f/4–5.6 IS STM (covers APS-H at all focal lengths)

 

Now feel free to write me comments about the silliness of using cheap plastic kit lenses on professional 1D cameras :-)

Grandstand at the old greyhound track. The seats are as uncomfortable as they look.

Late evening sunshine lighting up the Forth Bridge.

I had a hope about crust snow, but it was slush and very soft. The snow is melting fast, ten more days with sun and wind, so I'm trilled to see paths again. Social distancing also:)

Sorry for not taking better care of you. Hope the white border counts for something. [internet heart]*

 

*which is just as real as a real heart.

Still some snow and ice at the walkway, but our mainroad E75 is dry. The snow begins to rotten

Nice, but cold today. The Pistenmachine still on duty

This is a bike created by John's Bikes in New Brighton. Sadly it looks like he has now sold up and moved to Oz

Hemorrhoids (HEM-uh-roids), also called piles, are painful at the best of times - but all day on a motorcycle!!!

 

A Hardtail motorcycle has a single-piece rigid frame, while a Softail motorcycle delivers a smoother ride thanks to a rear suspension system and shock absorbers.

 

Alnwick, Northumberland, UK.

Awesome mural on this caravan at Whareroa Farm in Kapiti.

Glacial erratic on backyard edge of our cottage rental

Photographed at SpeedWorld Nostalgia Drags Fall 2009

Still snow but melting, +20 degree celsius today

I've been pedaling past this split glacial erratic for over 20 years, time to finally get a photo of it. Broken Boulder trail, @ Bear Brook State Park.

Spotted in the distance as I was pedaling past a clearing, so I took a turn toward the clearing and got closer to it. A recent logging effort in this area revealed this rusting relic of the past. I wonder how long it has been sitting out here, obscured by the trees that stood here previously.

A very beautiful day:)

Our hardtail fitness/road/mountainbike - bought it for our son but ended riding it a couple of times myself...

Up for sale to fund a compact Leica Q... toys for boys (and girls too)

Being slowly ruined by selfish, inconsiderate shitheads.

 

- Concord, NH

Sold HIS Rotec RL9 and bought this insane setup...

2009 NS Bikes "Bitch" with a super killer DJ/ Urban Assault setup...

 

We took it to the Carlsbad skatepark only to be dissapointed because the crappy little park wouldn't let us really open up this awesome bike!

We then drove to the Chestnut St. jumps, only to find that some wimp tore down the two big tabletops...

This is why I gave up biking....

 

Why cant I just sell my bike already?!?!?!

I want my new Olympus E-3!!!

 

:P

The mighty Cotic Soul at the top of Mt Climie in Upper Hutt.

A psychedelic paint job an Mr Smiths ride..

The temperature is 25 degree celsius

The fuel tank is under the seat - in case you were wondering ..

Not the highest quality photo, but my first published photograph. Dirt Rag Issue 138.

Taken during a long loop ride around Webster and Salisbury.

And the steed I selected for this event, I think it was the perfect bike. It soaked up the distances and was comfortable through the off-road - lively enough to make fun of the downhill sections.

 

Taken part way through day three.

This is not an effect of a filter or heavy editing, just the right light, RAW processing, characteristics of old EOS 1D Mark II 8mp APSH sensor and lens flare.

1969 Triumph TR6 650cc built in the traditional bobber style.

 

"Customs built in the ‘bobber’ or hardtail style. On the typical bobber motorcycle, excess bodywork has been stripped away, and the fenders are usually removed or shortened.

 

All unnecessary hardware has been removed to cut weight—including the mufflers in many cases—and a single seat is usually fitted. Old-school handlebars are often installed too, with the wiring run inside for a clean look, along with classic ‘Bates’ style lighting." wiki

Looks like the 12 year old Velvia was stored properly

 

It's a custom frame designed by a friend of the owner. The rear cog is also the disc for the brake.

My 2003 Dean Hardtail resting in its bed! After all these years I still can't stop looking at that flame maple top, love this so much!

Transmitter.

 

Lit with the lp brushes portrait scanner during a long exposure.

Awesome XC ride through Belmont Regional Park. A slog up to the trig, and then through to Boulder Hill. Such awesome views up here.
