Wow! been away for a couple of days, and you people rock! Bob, Gregg, Helena, you increase my regret at having sold my Loxia 50. What a sweet lens, and great in your most capable hands! Werner, great shots. Greater probably than your resolve, you will bow to the inevitable...:-)
So mnay others deserve praise that I can't name them all, but Douglas comes to mind for the Wow! I uttered in disbelief...
At les Invalides, Otus 55 on A7R II
Photo taken at 3:50 PM, October 17, 2015 along Skyline Drive from Naked Creek Overlook, Shenandoah NP, Virginia. Image taken with my tripod mounted A7r and my Leica M 90mm f2.5 Summarit lens, ISO 200, lens set to f11 for 1/100 second. Exposure corrected by +0.12 Stops and processed in LR6.
Love the Loxia 50 shots and of course the OTUS 55. This is not to say anything negative about the other images on the thread. Everything looks great. A pleasure to view. sebboh got me interested in split-toning and I spent a day playing around with it. Lots to play with.
A7RII First two shots with Leica WATE and last two with Sony FE 24-240mm
Nice Dale!
Great grabs everyone....
Thank you Phillippe!
While staying near Yosemite, I ventured out to shoot, well, trees! Lots of them...
Nothing special, and I'm just trying to bore you

looks great, the toning seems to work especially well for the 3rd one. the last one i would tone down color a bit.
We moved back on Halloween 2015, from a more urban part of the city to the woods. Still in the city, but we've got a few acres and behind our lot there's a another ~50 acres of city, state, and conserved housing association land to hike. I love wandering around, following the tracks left by deer, human, and other animals.
One of my recent wanders led me to a deer carcass that had been taken down a few days before. With the warmer weather we've had the tracks were melted, but based on the amount of struggle and the distance traveled by the wounded doe, my Master Naturalist wife suspects it was a coyote. It had seemed pretty picked over by the time I found it on Saturday, but when I brought my wife on Sunday I realized that the term "picked over" was an overstatement. It's amazing what quickly work nature makes of a large mammal carcass.
We ended up moving our trailcam over to the site to see if the animal responsible for the kill would wander back. No dice - but it was a busy place for the crows.
If you'd be interested in seeing what else we find in the woods, check out our new Facebook page: Kenwood Trail Camera.
Winter is killing me... Got yesterday my cameras back from Kolari, and would like to go shooting, but light doesn't co-operate. Snow and overcast is not so good for photography, but good for testing correcting color casts caused by high ray angle to sensor. I developed own methodology to fix it (process two images with dcraw using different WB, then use ImageMagick to stack images and apply circular gradient (with offset) alphamask to other image) and seems it's good enough for my normal images (e.g. forest in summer), but maybe not good enough for snow.
