Winter is over, both meteorologically and officially for the 46ers, so Kathy and I toted around Keene Valley and Keene (New York) enjoying our last day here.
Ice crystals captured with my 100mm and 200mm macro lenses during the recent cold spell.
Exploring two more excellent SMC Takumar lenses with the Lens Turbo: the 135mm f/2.5 and 100mm f/4 Macro.
The day after our hike of the Santanoni Range, we let our knees rest and spent some time toting around Keene and Keene Valley.

Test shots with the biggest camera I’ll likely own.
“You can’t do this with digital.” — Me, the last time I accidentally double-exposed a roll of film.
I had to finish a roll to try the new chemicals last week, these are the results. Taken with my Pentax 645n and 120/4 Macro on Kodak Portra 800 film. Developed in Kodak chemicals that…
I got some great new chemicals yesterday, that allow me to develop normal black & white film as positives instead of negatives. It was a good bit of work since the chemicals came in powder form, but it was worth it. It is a really neat look.
