Wow Stephen and Fred! Superb images. Stephen, have you considered reducing the opacity or size of your watermark? I find it a bit distracting from your beautiful images.

Here is something other than architecture from me. Spiders are amazing at their web slinging craft. Captured with the Canon 70-200L II.

Bob,
Thank you! I am rather new here on FM but it is a small world I guess. We've had some pretty crazy sunrises and sunsets over the past few days as I hope you were able to get out and enjoy them!

Thank you for your kind words! As for the watermark, I only recently started using one and am happy to see about trying a different style. I just used the default, I think, from Lightroom. Thank you for your constructive (and complimentary!) criticism.
Here's one from a recent extended hiking trip that we did in the Aspiring National Park. This was one of my first shots with a replacement Loxia 21, the first one having had significant issues with de-centering that the Zeiss service centre in Germany had not been able to sort. After it came back from Germany significantly worse than when it went over to them, the NZ Zeiss agents decided to replace it. The new one is such an improvement, and worked flawlessly on this trip - I also carried my ZM 35 and a new Loxia 85, a fantastic trio for such a trip, even if collectively a little on the heavy side. I'll post some more once I get them processed...
DAG cleaned up some oil from my ancient Summarit and breathed new life into it and my appreciation for its unique rendering. Glad I did not sell it last year. Leica M Summarit 50mm f/1.5 (1953):

Welcome back Samuli !
Thanks! Due to this forum I'm always getting back to photography - this thread is great, so much nice photos in last few hundred pages, great source for inspiration and seeing various lens rendering styles.
Leica APO-Summicron-M 90mm f/2 @ f/8 or f/11, A7mkII@ISO 320, 1/320s - I don't think that the architect took into account road dust caused by spikes in winter tires when selecting finishing and color of this wall
Leica APO-Summicron-M 90mm f/2 @ f/5.6, A7mkII@ISO 200, 1/2000s - weird to see this kind of house/factory on sea shore, the lot is 1000x more expensive than the rotten building in it
Wow, as Grenache suggested earlier in the thread, one really needs to check in here at least once a day just to keep up.
bluloo, beautiful monochrome conversions from the 85/1.4 G.
Stephen, the images of El Capitan on fire are stunning (it looks like lava, but... but...)
Grenache, I've always been curious about the Summarit 50/1.5's rendering: it's amazing to say the least.
Joshua, as much as I like your architecture and nature shots, it's the people pictures (and your rapport with your subjects) that I particularly admire.
Listera, right up my alley: flattened perspective and soft, delicate colours.
