I recently was in North Dakota and didn't want to check any luggage so I elected to leave my Z9 and Z8 at home with their great S lenses. Instead, I took my old Z50, two fast third party cheap lenses for portraiture of mom (I already posted one image from each lens) and one Nikon lens, the 18-140mm f3.5 to 6.3. While there I attended an "old time farming" event showing steam powered tractors and antique thrashing machines in operation; a dusty environment. I already posed one image of an old timer working at that event and this is the second portrait of an old timer there. A great advantage of this cheap DX zoom lens is not having to change lenses in a dusty environment. It was about lightness and versatility this trip and how much can be done with how little. I am not seeking any prize winning, super sharp or huge print photos. Just enjoying the photo hobby and taking some pictures of my 99 year old mom in her normal environment for family remembrances. That is a legitimate use case. My normal camera bag was only half full!

A little trip I took to Grand Teton. Grand Teton is the black spot in the bottom. Above it is the galactic core. Can anybody spot Trantor?

This was taken a short time after the lighthouse picture I posted above. More magenta in the sky and better wave pattern in the foreground. I think this is a better image overall.

Good to see WestEndFoto back posting in NR.
