I think I prefer the "with Smooth Refections App" but the only aspect that irritates a bit is the fact that the sailing boats in the distance become little pale white streaksPeter, if you like the sailing boats on the last one you could overlap and mask only these particulars in order to have them in the preferred SR version

ManuelGood idea Manuel although that would be a new skill for me to learn! Alternatively I guess a larger number of exposures (this was 16 I think) would have averaged them out altogether (too late now though!). On the other hand that would have removed the remaining texture in the sea (i.e. the wave pattern) in the foreground which I quite like.
I prefer the SR version too Peter. You could just clone out the little boats if the streaks bother you, 10 seconds work. I had to strain my eyes to find them

Some views from Jämtland county (where our cabin is located) in Sweden.
The Thai Pavilion apparently is the only one outside of Thailand and was unknown to us until we stumbled upon it now in this remote place. The Thai's beloved king Chulalongkorn Rama V enjoyed traveling and visited the area in 1897 together with our king Oscar II. Later a road in the area was named after him and this caught the eye of some Thai travelers in the 90'ies. They were touched and wanted to do something to commemorate the King's visit. Construction of the pavilion started in August 1997 as a joint effort by Thailand and Sweden and it was inaugurated on July 19. 1998.
A7II and CV Ultron 35/1.7 VM (first five), CV Nokton 50/1.5 VM (#6) and CV Ultron 21/1.8 VM (#7).

We had our Queen's Birthday long weekend and I went to the Gold Coast and drove down to Byron Bay. Weather was quite ordinary with showers regularly. One can see the rain clouds afar in the shot too. The beach in the shot is very long, approx 10km in length and only 2 people!

Yes,the famous Windtalkers.I'm really touched to see that they have such a decent monument in the US for what they did.Well deserved.

Thai temple in the Northern Norway-that is something unexpected!
And now something completely different! (please consult The Monty Pythons for possible asossiations) :-)))
I think that there is no other lighting in the World,as far as what I have seen so far,to match the one of Northern Scandinavia at around Midsommar.

Too many great shots to recognize them all. Keep it up all.
Playing out back with the Tamron 90mm f/2.5 52BB on an A7II. I don't have many critters around me that will stand still, but this fella was willing.

Excellent work everyone
Great shots, especially the one with the axe. Personally I would have used a longer lens than 35mm in order to reduce the risk of ending up with an axe stuck into the top of my head!

Thanks Kevin (and Manuel earlier). Cloning them out would be simpler but I have grown rather attached to the streaks now and see them as ghost boats!
A couple more from Toulon with the Loxia 85 on A7RII:
I was very stupidly standing on the aft deck of the ferry above the engines and so there was heaps of vibration. I should have moved but the light was disappearing fast so I risked it but had low expectations. Either the image stabilisation works OK or, my body is good at adsorbing vibration!

More from the light-weight and travel size FE 35mm f/2.8 and this time is a fairly closeup of the horse post along the Bourbon Street in New Orleans. These posts, quite a bit of them are obviously no longer needed, fallen into disrepair and removed, dated back to 200 or so years ago. This particular one was for whatever reasons was painted more than once and not in the usual dark green color most of them are.

Joshua superb shots as always The FE 35/2.8 is often dismissed as cheap, lacking character but I feel it is a great lens and makes for a fantastic light to go system.
Marisa used it all the time as she had no interest in bigger/faster lenses. My son Daniel also has the 35/2.8 on his A7r and loves it. His shots are amazing and only recently he had an exhibition, most with the 35/2.8 I often think we as photographers over think the technical specs rather taking shots...

Thank you, Charles! I agree with you about that tiny lens. Frankly, it has become one of my favorite lenses in addition to the Loxia 21mm on this trip. I anticipated the Loxia to be just that but I am pleasantly surprised with the performance of the FE 35mm. I didn't know that your son is also into photography and in a serious way at that. And I don't blame Marisa for liking that lens for its size and weight.
Here is another image taken with that lens. This time it is of a magnolia, the official flower of the Southern States, Louisiana and Mississippi, among others. Granted, this is not a macro lens but I like the rendition of this les even for this closeup image.
