Train Time

The street cleaner that Greg has dubbed the Track Cleaner.

p.s. This is the first image with the 50 f/1.4D AF. Note the less than zero depth of field... I love wide open up close with this lens - nice effect.

New lenses on their way...

Just got a couple new (to me) lenses (off of ebay)... so expect some nice new images as a result (I hope!).


17-35mm f/2.8D ED-IF AF-S Zoom-Nikkor

This is one half of the range of the 18-70 DX AF G 3.5-5.6 that Nikon includes with the D70... 35mm usable, AF-S, and quicker glass = good.


50mm f/1.4D AF Nikkor

I needed to replace my old manual focus 50mm lens to be able to take advantage of the metering in the D70.


60mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor

I've always wanted a nice macro lens for detail shots of nature, products, cars, etc. This is nice to have in the arsenal.


105mm f/2D AF DC-Nikkor

I've wanted one of these defocus control (DC) lenses for portraits since they came out... I finaly bit the bullet and got one!

Racer Will...

A firiend of our (Will Diefenbach) was out racing this past weekend and I stopped by for a couple hours on Sunday afternoon. It was fun to see and a nice day just to poke around the paddock area and check out the sights - lots of enthusiastic racers and their supporters!
