Arizona Sonoran Desert is gritty, abrasive both in soil and rocks. Vegetation is sharp and thorny. After a day on the desert you might need pliers to pull cactus spines from shoes and vehicle tires. In some respects I think the black and white images better capture the harshness of the environment. It is still beautiful in its own way. A7RII FE 24-240mm

definitely agree. i really like the last two.
btw, do you know the name of those cactuses with the barbed spines that always attach shoes?
thanks everyone for the compliments, that's my first post to this site, first time i felt i had anything worthy of standing alongside the great photos i regularly see here
Pages and pages of outstanding images from many interesting places!
Werner, Rene, Bob; checking your pictures from various places makes gloomy Vancouver winter days feel even worse. Nevertheless, thanks for sharing as it's always a pleasure to view them
Helena, Gregg, Charles, Ronny, Derek, Manuel, and others: outstanding work as always!
Back at home with Sony after another brief stint with Nikon...Feels good to be back. This has to be one of the best threads on FM in terms of image quality and content. Here's a couple quick shots of my little ones while testing out my new gear yesterday.
Dartmoor - this front was just starting to reach me with drizzle - not sure how much is flare and how much is spectrum from sun in drizzle. A7RII Angenieux 35-70
Jack...always good to see you post! SEM 21 above?
Wilhelm...Very nice Contax 35-70 grab.
