At Big Meadows, Shenandoah NP, Virginia
More Lensbaby Sweet 50 shots. There's still a lot of room for improvement (I should have stopped down more in some of them etc.), but it's fun to practice and experiment.
Beautiful Helena! I've often thought about playing with a lens baby too. I had an earlier version back in my Canon days.
One more from the top of Keystone Mountain in Colorado. Our trip is ending and we go home today but it was a glorious time with friends. And, we got married on the mountain!

I have never been a bird photographer, but gave it a shot the other day. I am not sure if I succeeded in bringing out the details of the feathers the way I am supposed to?
With Leica Summicron 75 AA, at 2.8 I believe.
Best wishes,
Ole
Ole, I don't claim to be a bird photographer as such but I would view your image more in the scenic/landscape category, where the birds are a part of the scenery and are not the dominant components. Feather details are not important in this case then. It is basically the same situation as mine posted below.

I am happy for you, Bob!
Here is another image from Bosque del Apache, New Mexico. This is basically the best sunset we saw from our 3-day trip. Sadly, the weather did not cooperate with us this time around.

Very true Joshua, and I was only joking when I wrote that. My intentions were just to capture the two seagulls with what i saw as a beautiful background.
Here is another one from my visit to Zion National Park back in November. I had a crazy busy year-end so I'm still trying to find time to go through the pictures that I took. Not a bad thing given the winter months here in New England are usually a slow time for getting outdoors to take new pictures so processing time should free up.
I am actually in Rome now, taking a break from my aching Achilles. Here are a couple from today. I've been using the 21/28FEF2, 55 and 10-18 on an A7R2. This camera has performed beautifully.

Thanks Jim, hope you will. Would be nice to see more Lensbaby photos in here (for inspirational reasons too). For those who don't like the Lensbaby look, here are some shots from before the snow with A7II and CV Ultron 35/1.7 VM. The colors are real - the light was incredibly warm.

Except for the weather, the wildlife, well, snow geese in this case, blasted off as expected. But somehow the images are kind of dull . Plus, you may notice that there are some vertical lines mostly in the lower right hand side; those are dry reeds that I had to shoot through and not the lens and not the processing.
Then, beautiful place!!!
