We traveled to a couple of towns in Pennsylvania last week to visit family for Thanksgiving.
What a great time, and the first seeing some folks in many years.
This was also of course an opportunity to try the Nokton in the field. The learning curve continues.
Christmas parties start this weekend. All the best to you and yours.

More great light today in the afternoon. The temps are below freezing in the mornings now. Snow can't be too far behind.
Like many folks we're traveling next week, and hope the heavy snows hold off until December.
Still working on the Nokton workflow. I enjoy it very much so far. It's such a unique lens and process that I don't plan to go back and forth with it. Think instead it will be the 'go-to' for a while.
There used to be a concept in the photo-sphere of 'one camera, one lens, one film, one year'. The idea was to use just one setup for so long that you got to know it inside and out. Feels like I'm on a similar journey here. I'll let you know.

Happy November folks. Days are shorter, light is warmer.
We're experimenting today with a Nokton e-21mm f0.95 lens. My son is our subject of the day.
The wife and I took a first in memory trip together on Friday. Now, a visit to the gritty city of Portland should have been a great opportunity for this, right? But no. I packed a camera, but never took it out. My priorities have clearly changed.
We had a fantastic time. None of my time was spent being less than present. Did I miss some photos...? Undoubtedly. Did I spend more time actually with my wife? Yes indeed.
You'll see a lot more of this lens to be sure. It's a lot of work to use though, so some practice is in my future. Remains to be seen if and how I re-integrate a camera into my family time. :)

So here's another example of what this lens can do. Sharp at all points? Not at all. Evocative? I think so. Much to do.
