Wow.. Really gret shot nibutto rirakuma prosep
prosep #1 love it :-)

Superb butterfly shots Prosep.

Nicola - excellent Venice bridge shot (tragic that a place like that has graffiti all over it).

Rirkuma - love those 2 x 50/2 shots !

Great photos on this page guys.
nibutto, #2 is fantastic. Great composition.
rirakuma, the lighting and tones on the last one are awesome.
prosep, #3 is great. The texture on the petals is wonderful.

A couple black and white photos from Sydney, ZF.2 35/1.4 on D600.

Great series on this page! This thread is still rocking.
nibutto #1 is a great view
rirakuma, love the smooth water shots and the first concert image
prosep, #1 is pretty
uscmatt99, #1 works really well as a black and white

My recent trip to San Francisco ZF.2 35/1.4 and 100/2 on D800

I think the images could be improved with a brighter sky…

Bruni, just saw your 50MP shots from a couple pages back. Excellent showcase of its capabilities.

Smridevan, I would like to print the last with the bridge in big size. This one rocks
Rirakuma, like a lot the last 2 with 50/2. I think I will add to my Zeiss collection the 50 one day...
Frogfish, here you have another one with graffiti.....

thanks Jim, very kind.

Thank you. In fact, I'm gonna do that and see how it looks on print. :-)

^ Smridevan, I also love your last pic. I think it will look amazing on print! Just an opinion but it looks like there are smudges present on the skies and water. Not sure if this is just my monitor but I'm guessing they might be dodge/burn brush marks which could use a tad of cleaning.

Dodged a storm and shot La Jolla tide pool with friend Peter Tellone ( http://petertellone.com/ ) last night. The storm brought us some gorgeous clouds and colors. Over the course of an hour or two, it felt like we shot a whole rainbow.

Great series. "Hop...skip...and a jump" and "Serene" are my favorites.

One of my favorites from a recent trip:

D800 + ZF 21/2.8

A short walk today in the city center ... with 35/2 (D700):

As always, I truly enjoy this thread. Thanks to everyone for contributing such amazing work. Always inspired.

We'll, it looks like I'm parting with my Zeiss 21mm (see Buy / Sell board). However, a new Zeiss 100mm will join the lineup very soon. Hopefully, I'll have some new photos to add in the very near future.

Thanks, Bpark!

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't see the smudges on my monitor but do see them on my iPad. Strange. I was blending two exposures so hence the smudges. In the water, there's a tree covering most of the water so I might have to clone it out better.

Finally got around to editing some of the more complex images from the sunset shoot in La Jolla.
