Missed you Jack...been away?
Wish you were my buddy.... lots of lenses I have my eye on. But I already love my 55/1.8. Great lens. And great use of it, too.
Hard to keep up with all the new, great stuff. Today I tried out the new to me Canon 24mm T&S L II lens on my Sony A7II. So far so good but there will be a learning curve. The shots of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception (LONG name) in Washington were all shot with the 24mm T&S, some handheld. The snow pictures were shot with the Canon 24-70mm f2.8 L II on the A7II.
Some raptor pics all taken in captivity at the Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) in Quechee, Vermont. Great place to see theses beautiful birds up close. All taken with the A7r2 and FE 70-200 f/4 except for the closeup of the Peregrine Falcon which was taken with my Zeiss Loxia 2/50.
Days are getting longer,but the Sun is still setting pretty early.Yeasterday I took a stroll in the fields at around 15 hours in the afternoon in attempt to try some of my newly acquired lenses.
Dark blue sky in the North lit by the Sun on the oposite site,undulating hills covered with winter corns of various tint of green and colorful villages hidden in the ravines - all that made up for unique colours and lighting combination.
