Finally some snow - almost a month later than usual. We'll see how long it last though. The rainbow colors are caused by the sun shining through a thin cloud of tiny ice crystals (which also explains why some of the shots look a bit hazy).
All A7 and CV Nokton 50/1.5.
Wonderful winterscape images, Helena. I especially enjoy the 3rd and 4th image.
Here are a couple shots from an area in San Miguel Allende, known for wonderful mural paintings. Although I am not a fan of mural paintings but I think these two are exceptional. Too bad the paint started to flake and to peel off the wall in some spots.

Very nice! BTW how do you like the ICE light? We printed Jerry Ghionis' DARLING book recently. He is an incredible photographer and a very inspiring speaker.
Wonderful shots everyone!
Joshua, very nice I see the Canon 24-70 II is gelling well with all the latest updates. I really love the rendering from this lens.
Helena beautiful snowscapes scenes!!!
Werner very nice series!
Ronnie, superb!
Rene, love your shots
Bobby, thank you The ICE is great to use as flashes can take a while to setup to really get the output you want. The ICE light is excellent as you can gently move the lighting and see what effects it has. I know there is a new rotorlight NEO which is also meant to be excellent.
Jerry Ghionis is a brilliant photographer, and I will need to read his book.
Superb shots as always.
Helena...super set!
Haven't had any editing time at all lately, which will continue to be the case. Oh well...but I did happen to get two done last night.

If you get the chance, attend his seminar. His workshops are not cheap. He is such a talented and creative portrait artist. Here's a video of one of his "short" seminars ... 1.75 hours:

Two contrasting images from the abandoned hacienda in Mexico. The first image was captured in a darkish, less glamorous area although I found the lighting there to be sweet. The second was from the fancy area near the staircase of the main structure. Again, the concept here was to capture (fluid) movement of the model using a slow shutter speed. Yes, the camera was on the tripod all the time.
FYI, Bobby was my shooting buddy on this trip. This complex is huge and wonderful from photographic point of view, offering tons of photogenic spots for this type of photography. We barely scratched the surface it seemed after shooting for several hours. I realize that this type of photography is not universally appealing. The images from this place didn't do much to my better half, for example, while some friends like them.
finally gotta a beat up contarex 85/2 (i'd been looking for a while).
still waiting on the adapter, but i think i'm going to like it. seems to have much better edge and corner performance than my jupiter-9 that is based on the same design and surprising little vignetting. a few free lensing snaps:
