Stunningly beautiful images regardless of lens age. Great reminder that just because there are newer versions it doesn’t relegate the old to obscurity.
Ross,
As always, this is a beautiful set of images and is a credit to your talent as a photographer. I think you could coax good results through a coke bottle as a lens.
The devil always makes one buy more manual focus Nikkors. You have a really solid kit put together. I pulled several of mine out and it is probably time to send a few in for CLA’s and to keep the focus ring turning. Cheers!

Excellent work, and excellent choice in Lenses
A very lovely set. The stately cedar is my favorite— I’m always impressed when people can work the forest with their photography. It’s such a busy environment, you have to have a keener eye than mine to isolate the right scenes.

Ross, this is another incredible set of images! I'm particularly struck by "A stately cedar in the mountains of Washington"—it's absolutely beautiful. The composition and mood are superb. This image perfectly demonstrates that great photography is more about a keen eye for composition, skillful use of light, and effective post-processing than it is about the equipment itself. Fantastic work! You've earned my easy vote. Thanks for sharing, and keep raising the bar!
Really appreciate your supportive words, Parul! That stately cedar speaks to me also, so glad it resonated with you.

Thank you, John, and I agree with you, it’s been a good reminder for me.

Alan, I love your comment, it brought a smile to my face 🤓, thank you very much for your kind words. These Nikkors are addicting, once you have one or two it makes you want to keep adding more!

Thank you, and I’m glad you like the cedar, it’s one of my favorites (this was along the Mountain Loop Highway north of Seattle). I agree that woodlands photography is really challenging - forests are chaotic and it’s usually hard to find a clean view. But it’s so rewarding when the composition comes together. Check out Nigel Danson’s work, he’s in the UK and is one of the best woodlands photographers I’ve seen, very inspiring (he shoots Nikon too).

Thanks for the tip on Nigel, I hadn't seen his work. I follow a few UK photographers on YT and some of them do forest photography, but it's definitely a different kind of forest there. I'm in the Seattle area myself, so it's nice to see applications to our very very different forests :-)
