Just back from an 8-day trip to Ireland with my wife. This was more a vacation then a photography-centered trip so I didn't have the time for more serious planning and scouting of locations. All-in-all I'm pleased with the pictures that I did manage to take and have started going through them as time permits. 98% of the shots including all the multi-shot panoramas were shot hand-held. I can't say enough about how wonderful the IBIS worked with the A7r2. This was such a change for me as I normally shoot 95% of my serious photography on a tripod.
I contemplated taking only autofocus lenses including my 24-70 GM but at the last minute I decided to make myself work a little harder with mainly an all manual focus prime kit. I ended up taking my Loxia 21, Distagon 35 ZM, Loxia 50 and Loxia 85, I also threw in the Batis 18 just in case I needed a bit wider indoors at churches, etc...
I found that I really could have taken just the Loxia 21, Distagon 35 ZM and the Loxia 85 and I would have been fine. In fact out of 1,672 shots I used the Distagon 35 ZM - 40.8%; the Loxia 21 - 35.8%; and the Loxia 85 - 13.5%.
Here are few from the "Ring of Kerry" in County Kerry which is a very popular 95 mile loop around a peninsula on very winding narrow roads and switchbacks. The views of landscapes and seascapes are just amazing. The driving is terrifying as there are spots where two vehicles can barely squeeze by each other and rock walls inches away on both sides of the roads. In a few spots there are narrow bridges that only one vehicle can pass at a time. There were big tour buses and large construction trucks as well as the stray sheep to be on the look out for as you meandered around these narrow roads!
The people were very friendly and it was a very enjoyable trip. I highly recomend it!
Note: the four shots taken at ISO 1250 was not on purpose. I mistakenly adjusted the ISO and didn't discover it until an hour or so of shooting. The good news is that I always shoot "to the right" on the histogram so these were very clean files with barely any noticable Luminous noise in the shadows. I made a slight 15-20 adjustment in LRCC on the Luminous Noise slider and you would think these were shot at ISO 200-400.

This thread has simply opened my eyes to new techniques, experimentation with different lenses, and so on.
Gentle suggestions and criticisms have also helped. Can an old dog learn new tricks? Possibly one or two.
However, when I see some of the shots from Venice (you know by whom) or Iceland or Norway (you know by whom),
I realize that there are not-far-off limits for me. This helps me enjoy seeing and studying those great photos; pure admiration and no envy.
But I also like seeing not-so-great shots when I feel my approach to a particular scene could have been better.
So thank you all for having created such a great thread.
HenrykThat'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.
Henry, I am very flattered but I know my limitations and I am definitely not there.

Superb grabs everyone!
Picked up another 50 on a whim for travel this summer. It's been 3 yrs since I've had this one, so I'd thought I'd give it another go around. Traveling with the FE 50 1.4 ZA to Hawaii just isn't what I want to do(we'll see😉

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...Show more →
Helena - wonderful set but the third and last images are my favorite! Congrats!
Greg - I have this lens also . . . love it and your set!
Joshua - Wonderful portrait. I would be interested in your thoughts on the Sigma 135/1.8 Art. I've been thinking about that lens . . .

This year's spring is the coldest I remember,with everchanging light that creates new opportunities every few quarters.
Hail is coming upon......

....but the skies clears out quite quickly after hail....
A72+C/Y Sonnar 84/1.4
A72+Distagon C/Y 25/2.8
Next day The Sun is shining brightly and the wind blows clouds across the skies....
A72+Yashica ML 35/2.8 - the best wa Yashica ML IMO
...and late cherry blossom is meeting with early rape flowers.
A72+Tele Tessar C/Y 300/4.0
Everything seems calm,peaceful,quiet and well known for years.
