Sony A7RII + Sony FE 85mm F1.8 by Ronny Olsson, on Flickr
Thank you, Ronny! Excellent portrait you got there! You are definitely getting both your feet wet in portraits now .
How about a role switch now? You are posting portrait images and I am posting a winter landscape scenery . This is a left over from Lapland and converted to B&W since there was not colorful anyway.

That's the spirit, Henry! I don't know whether you saw the poll a few months ago about the different age groups of Sony users. I am definitely up there age-wise. I am still learning and trying to improve and we are all in there together. We simply don't stop doing that until we kick the bucket.
Hello Joshua,
I`m with you all the way. One can always improve and that’s reassuring.
But you are already A-number-one, top of the list, king of the hill, to use Frank Sinatra’s words.
Cheers,
H.
Ronny, Joshua, Bob, Jim... what else is new....certainly not the overused words of admiration.... but the emotion is fresh and strong as ever...

A photographer friend of mine invited me to one of his fun experimental shoots. He's been teaching me about off camera lighting in and outside the studio these past few weeks. I'm not too familiar with this type of portrait photography, especially when it comes to posing, let alone fashion portrait photography. While I feel out of my element, I'm having fun while learning something new. Oh, and his model friends are easy on the eyes too. :P

Thank you Phillipe! Damn that Otus 28 is superb . . . and in your hands even better!
Beautiful as always Werner! Looking forward to see more from the workshop.
Phillipe, your flower photos are gorgeous.
My partner and I spent last week driving around in southern Portugal. It was very nice, but the coast has become a sad sight. The whole area is packed with huge hotels and many are now left to decay after the economy crisis. The beaches are still beautiful though and mostly empty in April, and we enjoyed the small roads in the mountains. A few years ago we visited northern Portugal and that was beautiful!
#1 and 5 are from A7 + Lensbaby Sweet 50 and the rest A7II + CV 35/1.7 VM.

Pretty good expression, considering how she must have been shivering -- that's dedication!
