Here are some more, from a little later in the jaunt. The weather here today has been blustery, dusty, hot Santa Ana winds, and these little scenes put me in a mind of some sort of a hot and windy Moroccan village.

^^^ It's a great lens!
Even if tempted, please keep 'Clarity' setting at zero for this and most modern Zeiss lenses as the software generated micro contrast may 'overlap/blur' actual lens micro contrast. I am heading out now and my explanation may sound vague, but search FM for Denoir's post related to this topic. Enjoy your new toy!

http://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2811/33435889124_2529daa2c1_o.jpgBeautifully made and rendered. Would you be willing to say something a bit detailed about how you processed these images?
thanks! i've built a set of standard presets in LR for the different looks i like to save time, so i can't tell you exactly how each is processed off the top of my head (since i made the presets a year or two ago). the first one uses my low contrast b&w pre-set that i typically use for portraits with glowy lenses. it is very similar to the sepia preset that comes with LR (minus the yellow toning) with a bit more emphasis on brightening the light tones. it's basically just a mild s-curve and some added vignetting (i might have adde a touch of clarity after for this one too). The second one is a more complicated processing that i often use for forest scenes. it has an aggressive s-curve and yellow toning on the highlights with blue toning on the shadows. if you have specific questions i'd be happy to say more.
a few more shots with the contax g 28 wide open on the a7 kolari UT:

Gregg, I really got behind on the thread and just read this tonight. We really do get attached to our pets. It's strange that I read your post tonight. My dogs managed to get out Wednesday morning (Chasing after rabbits, squirrels, or a coyote) and one of them was hit and killed by a car just a short distance from our house. The other one was found laying by the side of the one that was hit. It was the next day before we got her back. Thanks for sharing the pictures. We all spend lots of time on the technical aspects of photography but the real value is in capturing life moments.

So sorry to hear of your dog's accident and passing. To you too Gregg (I didn't see the post as I've been away for a few weeks). Our dogs mean so much to us.

On the trek to Gokyo. Unbelievably this guy is carrying this (ca. 70kgs of..) door etc. for 5 days up even past my destination (they know the weight of what they are carrying as they are paid by the kilo). Incredible. Many of these porters are farmers trying to make a few extra dollars during 'Everest Climbing Season' before the rains come and they return to their farms. Many fall ill, and some die, to Acute Mountain SIckness. They aren't Sherpas, who have a genetic mutation allowing them to exist without fear of AMS, at very high altitudes, they are just normal farmers from low altitudes.
Clarity (and HDR look) still looks a little high even though I've lowered it. What do you think ? Saturation is spot on BTW - the sky really is that blue when you get that high !

Nice shot, it really is a spectacular location! The red/orange tones and the porter do give it a HDR like look not sure what you could do about it though.
A few more from Hallerbos forest.

Butch - So very sorry to hear of this. It must have been a shocking loss to you and your family. You are right though, we do this thing called photography to capture the feelings and emotions that our surroundings and loved ones give us when we are together.

Just a couple of flower shots with my new set up; A7r II with Zeiss Milvus 135 f/2 APO and a 55-70mm helicoid extension tube. It get pretty high magnification and produces very nice files with very little CA and very shallow depth of field if you want it. The second shot is of a very small flower of which many grow in our lawn. The green leaf in focus in the bottom is a blade of grass for size reference and the magnification you can get.

Samyang hit a real home run on this one. I've got mine listed in the B&S, but don't much care if it sells because it's such an IQ gem - even if it only rarely sees use.
BTW, amazing light capture in that first shot! (all beauties, though). I went through two copies of the 16-35, both of which had corners that were less than good - so I gave up. Looks like yours is pretty sweet.
Thanks Louis, yes probably I've been lucky because my copy seems to work very well... really satisfied, more than expected

This picture has been taken by me under suggestion of Bobby Tan who discovered this mystic vision during a photo session at Pohono Brigde (Yosemite). I remained astonished by the incredible good eye of Bobby so I putted his copyright on this capture
Bobby, could you post here your image since has been taken with a Sony setup BTW thanks a million for all suggestions and inspiration you provide me
