The weather has made a major shift on us. It was only a week ago I took the photo entitled "The Beaver Dam" (look back five uploads to see it). This is the exact same spot a week later. It's amazing how much a landscape can rapidly change - just add snow. I shot the image with the same equipment (the very interesting Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero D lens), and I just released a video answering the question as to whether this lens actually has zero distortion. You can see it here: bit.ly/2gkLkvN

Nikon 180mm F/4. Manufactured in Japan in 1991, six elements and bokeh to die for. I absolutely adore these old lenses.

Very tired manual focus Olympus OM 50mm f1.4 with dust, scratches to rear element and traces of fungus...shot at maybe f8
There will likely be a bunch of these posted. Conditions could have been better as there was light cloud covering the moon. This was the best I could get. High ISO and had to manually focus which was a guessing game.
Looking forward to seeing what others were able to capture.
Note that the date is actually Jan 20th. I noticed that it downloaded to the 21st, so I must have the am pm setting on my camera set incorrectly

Another shot using the TTArtisans 23mm manual focus lens. The lens is really far from ideal. Here I was testing for flare. This lens loses so much contrast when shooting into the sun. To be honest this is a very tough test for any lens because of the sun reflecting off of the snow. Even trying to look at the scene by eye showed lots of flare and little detail. One great thing about mirrorless cameras is how when looking through the viewfinder you will not damage your vision when looking straight into the sun. I exposed hoping to try to keep some kind of detail in the highlights and in the sky, knowing the shadows would be severely underexposed, and accepted that knowing that I wanted a high contrast image as a final result.
It took some fiddling with this shot in Adobe Camera Raw using a few masks to try to get a dramatic look to the sky especially, and to get detail in the snow covered bits of the Bike Pump track at Hillside park here in Lamont.
I believe this was shot at its smallest aperture of f16. So I can forget ever trying to get sun stars with the lens which is a pity. I have a few shots where there is a hint of a sun rays, but nothing like the sun stars from my higher quality Canon L lenses or even my old manual focus Nikkor lenses. But knowing that it is a limitation that I will be aware of when using it when shooting into the sun in the future.

A fun shot.
Lens used: Nikkor - S.C Auto F1.4. I bought this lens second hand in about 1984. It was pretty old then. Feeling nostalgic, I decided to try it out on my Nikon D750. Cropped image with added vignette.
All done manually and the lens has certainly stood the test of time. 1/125 sec F5.6 ISO 1000.
Thanks for giving me the idea Phil!

When my father mows the lawn, he leaves some of the marguerites alive which gives me the opportunity to take pictures like this one which I had in my mind for a longer time. Most of the marguerites are equally high, but fortunately there was one that was standing out from the crowd which enabled me to get this nice painterly marguerite bokeh. Hope you like it!
Manually focusing an 85mm lens at close to MFD while shooting hummingbirds is not exactly the normal recipe, but it worked out here. I would have preferred a little more DOF, but i was afraid to make sudden motions to adjust aperture for fear of sending this one away.

Put the Rokinon 85mm f1.4 manual focus lens on a Kenko Extension tube on the camera and had some more fun with my bouquet that is still hanging in.

I don't have a Series E lens, so I used a Nikkor. I exposed exactly at ISO 100.
