I thought the Peugeot was too big til Terry forced me to really try her...now I love her.
She's more aggressive than my Raleigh...more toe overlap too, will take some getting used to...

Update; If you look really closely above the red sprites, you will see a very faint Perseid Meteor. There has been discussion in the spaceweather community whether meteors can trigger a sprites event.
Although there was no indication in people.ee.duke.edu/~cummer/cmc/new6 of sprite activity, a extremely active, continuous lightning display was occurring to my north from dusk through 11:30PM when more clouds moved into my area.
I was attempting to capture some pre-peak activity of the Perseids Meteor Shower, when this lightning storm appeared. In nearly two hours, a recorded at least 15 sprite events. These images are the better ones.
Used Nikon d7100, Nikkor 35mm f/1.4 @ f/2.8 (not f/5.6), iso 1600, and exposure of 10s. Photoshop was used to increase contrast and reduce some noise (grainness).
Somehow I wound up with another Yashica-A. This one is newer and has a Yashikor lens.
I found my way outside of civilization for the last photo of the roll. f5/6 1/300th.
This is the FRAXY sprite set for the FS-34 Cavalier II. Clearly, at this size, it's difficult to tell this craft was ever LEGO at all.
Garden Sprite at the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio in Oak Park, Illinois. This is a reproduction of a sculpture which once stood in Midway Gardens, a Wright-designed beer garden and entertainment center in Hyde Park, Chicago, which was demolished in 1929.
A combination of high-ISO graininess, a sulphur street light, blowing snow, a 90-degree clockwise rotation, and a careful crop turned this pic of a Beaver Creek streetlight into something more fanciful.
If you see me taking a shot like this, you can assume I was bored and was either stuck somewhere, or in wait mode. In that mode, most of my attempts at this sort of thing do not come out, but this one I thought was a keeper.
Shot with a Nikon D300 and a Nikkor 18-200 f3.5 VR lens at 200 mm.
Handheld, natural light, f5.6, 1/13 sec, ISO 3200
@ Shan xi bei road, shanghai
When they noticed our cameras, they turned their heads away. I took the shot earlier... I think they are the workers's wives; during the hot & bored Saturday afternoon, their entertainment was to find the cool place under the bridge to enjoy and chat...
Cheng Liang 乘凉 = enjoy the cool.....
