A quick drive-around last evening to show a visitor a few sights in Dhaka….. negotiating Dhaka traffic, the Parliament Building at sunset and then we ended up at the Institute of Fine Arts at Dhaka University where a small skit was taking place. Takes a visitor to show you your own city!
       

This new gem of a lens replaced my Nikkor 17-55 DX and  the Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm ED zoom F/2.8 Nano has seen more usage in the short while I’ve had it than the lens it has replaced.  The 17-55 on DX was the equivalent of 25.5-82.8 , and the 1.5mm additional width I get from the 24-70 [...]

My window with a view. Office in the trees. Whatever. Arm-chair birding, lazy-birding. Whatever. New visitor captured today while trying to do some data recovery to a failed and corrupted storage-drive….The data recovery process looks like a possibility, just need to get the right tools [decide which software to use]. In the mean time, I’ve started to [...]
