Smilebig...really like the last shot! Lots of metal, in stark contrast to the surrounding countryside.
Gunzorro...new Rokinon arrived, and...the verdict is....my eyes aren't as bad as I thought they were!!!!!!!!!!!! So far, after around 35 shots, this 35 1.4 is WAYYYYYYY better than the last...which will be going back!! Whew...
Will post some shortly...

Hey Jim...you've sure got a scenic area that you live in...yup..Santa Cruz is pretty horrible!!
The only problem is..I have a 5 week old and a 4yr old, so getting out and really shooting is pretty hard right now, except for the occasional photo shoot(I'm regularly a full time UPS driver), my time is spent between the 4yr old, and honey do-s, with a mix of baby in between!!!! It's all good, though. I'm on my 7th week off, and not going back until the Monday after Thanksgiving(just in time for the Christmas rush!!) Whhoo-hoo!!

Úlfur,
Nice shooting! I am pleased with my Rokinon 35 at the moment. I have also tried it
on 5D2 video and the results are quite good.
Cheers,
Tim

Checked his website and it's Ouray, CO. Beautiful place that I've wanted to visit for awhile.

Fantastic images Iron_Dreamer! I haven't used my Rokinon on tripod yet, but after seeing your pics, makes me want to! I usually shoot handheld, wide open most of the time, but I know what this lens can do at other apertures, too. I might have to get out and do some tripod night shooting!

Absolutely, this lens excels at night shooting! Well, not like it doesn't excel at just about anything you can throw at it, but night shooting was the real draw for me to acquire it. Turns out, I like it so much, it is now my go-to lens for casual friends and family shooting, as the bokeh is delicious (as evidenced the last two shots in your last post).

2nd one here is absolutely great Gregg although at this size you would have no problem to get zero noise.

Man, I love my old Nikkor 35/1.4, but I could certainly see buying this lens at some point. The bokeh is just beautiful and would make a good match for my 85/1.4.

Not the Samyang 35/1.4, but thought I'd post this as an expansion to my mini-series of the orange nozzle and green hose photo here.

...speaking of which;
Do you know if you can do composites with two rows of images, e.g. 2x2? Or is that beyond the capability of the software?
thanks, your image just reminded me of something I need to try :-)

one of my all time favorite lenses. I ran hundreds of rolls of film through my EoS 1n with that thing in the 90s. Still have the battered camera body, but all the white lenses are long gone.

Hi Wilhelm -- I replied to your similar question on the Pano-mania thread. The answer is yes, and it's very easy with inexpensive software like PS Elements (I use v.8). Even two images can be made into a composite/pano, greatly increasing the resolution and all other good things. 
pburke -- That is very cool, but also sad. Why did all the white lenses disappear? Did you start shooting shorter focal lengths in primes only? I am loving this gem and considering how to raise the funds to get the 28-300L. First step, ask Canon CPS to send it again so I can do A-B comparison between the two. If the 35-350 had IS, I probably wouldn't bother, but hand-holding 350mm at 1/125 or so is very hard! Even 1/500 is tricky for acceptable sharpness, as I'm sure you know!
