Yesterday, my wife and I visited the Getty Villa in Malibu, CA. Very interesting shrine to antiquities (and copies) from the civilizations of the Greeks, Etruscans and Romans. The Villa is made to represent an estate of wealthy aristocrats of those times.
Mostly shot with Canon EF 24/2.8 IS, and a few at the beginning with Loxia 35. I would probably have been better off with my Canon 16-35/4L IS. No big deal, got some good images.
Here are the arrival shots in chronological order of our visit.
Nobody else up for posting some shots on a lazy Sunday afternoon (West Coast N. America!). Here's another batch of Getty shots continuing in chronological order (for fun).
This should be fun for viewers too, as I'm cutting out all the boring walking around and craning of neck moments.
All shots from this point on are with a7R2, Canon 24/2.8 IS lens, Sigma MC-11, hand held, LRCC.

Philippe, thank you very much!

Jack: I'm always impressed with how you manage to get such amazing colors out of those files.
Manuel: Wonderful compositions on those landscapes.
Werner: Stunning lightning. I've taken the freedom to follow you on flickr.
Bob: Amazing colors. I was wondering, did you end up keeping the 24-70 GM or have you gone back to being Optimus Prime?
Ronny: I don't know any more adjectives to describe those impressive shots from Lofoten. They might be even better than your amazing work in Iceland 1-2 years ago.
Rene: Beautiful (early?) spring shots. We're still a few weeks behind here. I will admit, though, I like your monochrome shot from the previous page even better.
Joshua: Wonderful portraits, but then again you, Werner, Ronny, Bob and a few other highly talented members here are just incapable of taking bad pictures, right ?
And now, it's time to lower the quality of this thread again .
FE 70-300 at f8; Edit: I'm not sure whether this composition/framing works in this shot. I'd thought about zooming in closer to get make the ships larger, but that would have reduced the soft lighting effect and cut out the drift ice in the foreground. https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2837/33504008306_f35c0461ed_c.jpg...Show more →
Henry, in addition to applying the SR app in the second image, you also adjusted the white balance. I really like the color rendition of the second image; it is more pleasing to the eye, IMHO than the first image, which shows a bias towards yellow with some green tint in it. I mentioned it to you earlier when you posted the image of the model at Trevi Fountain that it was too yellow for my taste. Excellent images, BTW!
