Welcome Jim! Great to have you here and what a fantastic first post !
All 3 of these are quite good with the last frame being the best IMO

You achieved very good focus with the TC on the 400 and the BG is super clean. Looking forward to your participation on the forum and some great work to come

Welcome LTL'r and FTP'r Jim.

This is an excellent and beautiful series to start out with, very well done.
I see you have heeded the good advice given about some more dynamic compositions, the vert recrops are much better IMHO.

Very nice work Jim... I'll be looking forward to seeing more of it soon.

Jim, where were you in east bay? The only place I've seen them is at the Black Diamond Mines in Antioch. I'd love to go searching again because that time I only had a 24-105mm with me.

Thanks Conrad. I always look for your posts as a fellow Bay Area shooter. I'm over in the East Bay, but head down to Don Edwards every once in a while. Looking at some of your posts motivated me to head over to Baylands a couple weeks ago. Hope to meet you out in the field one day!

24-105 won't get you there, will it?

I shot these in Moraga

Jim,

welcome to posting in the forum & out of "lurkdome"

You've paid attention I see.

Excellent first post. Well done.

The first set was lovely, though Socrate points out some excellent thoughts & suggestions. I agree with them all.

The "corrected" set is wonderful. Well done. You have isolation, lovely creamy bgs etc. & a lovely subject in lovely light.

Well done & welcome - looking forward to seeing more.

Lil
