Well, this is straight out of my virtual machine, where I now moved on to trying new things, finally! 😊
It's all very experimental still; please feel free to let me know what you think, like, dislike, suggestions etc., even though, down the road, what matters is if I enjoy or feel expressed by my creations.
Interestingly, what I felt compelled to do first (before trying out new thingx) was to take care of my 'digital Aerochrome' workflow, which I developed resp. discovered just earlier this year. I quickly got to like it and the thought that it is dependent on my 'old system' (as not-old as it may be) and that it could have an expiration date was not nice at all.
So I took some time and tried to recreate it. Not without trouble as it turned out. What 'solved' it was the fact that the Adobe DNG Profile Editor is the same since 2012 I believe, so I could shove my old profile into the new LrC and then recreate the rest around it. So, I'm happy about that. (And in theory, that means I can recreate my legacy 720nm ways from the weird fullspec D90 also, ..cause I have still tons of that stuff, undeveloped.)

★ In case you live to see another year (some of use won't), I wish you health, connection, meaning and most of all, ..some peace. Cheers!
Backstory: I was out for a proper sunset hunt, doin' all sorts of fancy stuff right beforehand, bracketed telephoto panoramas with the 80-200mm on a tripod etc., but that's all boloney as it turned out. I packed up my gear and was already on the way home as I recognized this much simpler cleaner composition, the colors turned up a notch as well with the clouds now producing a nice transition. So I quickly popped on the 28-50mm and took a few shots, handheld, as a bonus I thought, yet these emerged to be the main harvest of the evening :)

Giving the MZ-S's ability to work with older K-Mount lenses a try by trying out five of my favourite lenses from my collection with the MZ-S. They work, not 100% perfect, but they work well enough.

A slightly odd sculpture, outside an artists' cafe in historic L'viv, Ukraine.
Taken with a Nikon D40, fitted with a Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8 AIS manual focus lens and processed in GIMP.
First go at manual focusing on this 'new' lens...
Seen whilst on loan from Ware depot, Arriva Harlow Volvo B7RLE/Wright Eclipse Urban KE54LPF (3858) heads down the short and steep hill onto Forest Hall Road in Stansted Mountfitchet working a Route 510 service for Stansted Airport.
3858 was one of the original order of new vehicles for the 510 in 2004, with 2021 still playing host to the vehicle type on the Harlow - Stansted corridor 26/04/21

Today I took a Super Multi Coated Takumar 135mm 3.5 manual focus lens out with me. It's a nice little lens - or it is when I get the focus correct
Comet NEOWISE as photographed through my open window early this morning (13th July 2020). Taken with a Nikkor ED 500mm f/4 P manual focus lens plus Nikon TC301 2x matched teleconverter giving effective 1000mm focal length. Cable release and mirror-up mode used to minimise motion-blur and of course tripod mounted. As seen over East Yorkshire. Cropped in by about 10% to omit some colour noise artefacts around edge of frame. I have rotated the frame through 90 degrees for a 'landscape' presentation.
I took the Rokinon 85m 1.4 manual focus lens and put it on a kenko extension tube to take a photo of my flowers. Hand held ISO was set to 1000 and set the fstop to 1.4 as I was indoors.
I will thank you in advance for any comment or fave on my image as I may not always have the time to get back.
