Can't afford an account that allows image posting here, but here are a couple Golden Gate Bridge shots using the 5d classic and a C/Y Zeiss 85mm Sonnar T* 2.8:

By the way, have you ever tried to make a timelapse video of scenes like the above? It should be amazing, like a heaving sea of clouds. Something like this (the segment between 0:45-0:53). Be sure to watch with HD on and click to make it full screen. His other two videos are great too.

Thanks Francesco! That second shot is really neat; it looks like the whole mountain is on fire. I wonder if some selection contrast enhancement in the rocks would make it pop a little more?
Here is a more contrasty version, what do you think? http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6049/6302795525_655c0812da_b.jpg

Oh, thanks! Had no idea I could post images here, if I'd have known I'd have started posting on FM awhile ago.
I've been meaning to start doing timelapse for quite some time, but seeing that video segment might have been enough to motivate me to do it next time. That was absolutely stunning. I'm usually worried I'll miss out on a good still shot by planting my camera, but it looks like it might very well be worth it.
I haven't gotten around to do timelapse either. Some of my shots that I have taken seconds apart show the cloud motion and make the shot just so much more interesting. I guess I just have to give it a try when the cloud conditions are interesting enough.
Wow, excellent set of shots from Myanmar! Thanks for sharing.
They are all very nice, but that last one is my favorite so far.
Love the colors and detail.

Definitely better, but it looks like you increased contrast globally, whereas I think it needs more in the rock, and less in the trees. In fact, my comment is not quite fair, because I don't know how to do it myself Local contrast enhancement is definitely something I want to learn.
Congrats on your 35/1.4 Helimart ! How do you find the bulk and weight? I keep circling around this wonderful lens, but still, equiv size /weight of nikon 24-70 just makes me stop.
Love the second shot! Vert nice narrative.

Thanks. It isn't as big as I thought it was going to be, actually smaller than the Samyang 35/1.4. It is a bit heavier that the Canon 35/1.4L, but less than the 85/1.2L and 24-70/2.8L. It fits in my Domke F6 'Little Bit Smaller' bag just fine.
The EXIF is in tact for the 2nd shot... so most of the story is already known.
