Good, warm, dry weather in May means there's always something to do around the house. It was time to trim the hedges and cut some grass this weekend.
And it won't stop until late autumn, ugh. :D
Here's a house hidden behind trees, on a hill across the road.

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.
inside Planting Fields Arboretum... the greenhouses feel like you're in the tropics...
So needless to say, I took a million pictures...
According to information available, the greenhouses at Planting Fields Arboretum cover approximately 2.5 acres of space in total, encompassing both display and production areas within the larger 409-acre property.

Captured with manual focus. There is a booth on the background, colored in national colors. For the past year, in my country have appeared a lot of such patriotic buildings, bridges and other structures, colored in the colors of our flag.
Happy Easter, all my friends! I wish you that I would wish to all my country - peace.

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.

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!
Still trying to get the hang of manual focus vs auto focus on this new G9. I'm sure kids and pets are a usual source of "under fire" training on a new camera. But I might add a darting girlfriend to that list. On a related note, she might have once again made a run for destroying my camera. But she tends to curb her violence toward inanimate objects when she is in public.

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