Yeah, that one pretty much stopped me in my tracks. I was just walking down the sidewalk, glanced up and went "whoa". Snapped one, and kept walking.

Been a little bit distant here but figured I'd give you guys a little bit of a hint as to what I've been up to lately. Plan on a build thread sooner than later. Recently re-swapped my LS e36 m3 with a built ls1 and some other goodies. I promise more details soon, just need to finalize some tuning.

I figured there was a reason I saw bald eagles over Dousman

I'm waiting for the showdown between you and @DrLeadFoot.  Loser is exiled to the mk3 VW forums.  This forum ain't big enough for two running LS swapped projects.

I made the mistake of test driving a '17 Alfa Romeo Giulia TI. Now I'm hopelessly enamored with it and must own one.

Red '17 Ti with the paddle shifters for $23k. 33mpg, factory warranty..

God I miss reading Kill Stories on forums... Was always fun trying to decipher which were entirely made up, which were stolen from movies, and which ones even had "opponents" that knew they were racing the storyteller.

Konica 57mm f1.4 arrived. There's dust and a little fungus on the internal elements. the focus helicoid is all gummed up and hard to turn. Wide open it's blurry as shit and has a ton of CA. What a crap lens.

This was my first shot with it. A shrub, literally 4ft from the door to my apartment.

Well you got me looking back through some of my pictures from this last season.

Weird how the imbedded image isn't full res, but when you click on it, it is.

Also, @Jdesign I just realized your car has been my Flickr icon for the past however many years.

Nice pan, man

I feel this. Literally nothing going on right now. I'm out there taking pictures of shrubs and trees and shit.

I just started a flickr account like 2 days ago because I'm bored and I figured everyone here is probably sick of me going on and on about cameras. The internet led me to believe there was some kind of community there, but I haven't found it yet. I'm too cool for the gram or fb; not sure what else to do with this stuff...

I can't speak for anyone else, but I've enjoyed seeing your camera and photography related posts, and I'm learning a little even so I'd say carry on. The shots lately have been awesome too.
