Joshua, stunning shot. I love the lighting and really this is what makes the GM 85 so special
Charles, thank you very much! I am flattered by your compliment.
Another image from the same session but I used the Sigma 135 for this one and yes, white reflector. It is a different model this time around and the sun was a tad higher, too.

This plant has some crazy looking branches (maybe they're giant stems). They look like octopus arms to me with huge suction cups. I thought for sure some boa constrictor was going to leash out and take hold of my camera.
Black and white for this one since I was starting to miss editing in B&W. Plus, it helped to draw out the texture and lines of this plant more than the color version.
Not the normal cup of tea for this forum, but the 12-24mm arrived today while I was working on our campervan conversion and completing our 'dinette'...so two birds with one stone

After having been snowed in much higher up I had joined up with a 'convoy' of other trekkers (ca. 15 in total) also working their way down the Thame Valley from the Renjo La pass (5,500m) to Namche Bazar (3,440m).
It was felt that as a group we had a better chance of a) not getting lost in the snowy landscape and b) avoiding the major risks, especially avalanches, on the way down. It worked out well, with the Germans at the front ploughing a nice path for me
By the time I'd reached this section of the valley, 4-5 hours hike from the tea-house I'd slept in the night before, most trekkers had gone their own way, since there was now little risk of either getting lost or avalanche and snow depths were much lower. Many stopping for lunch at tea-houses encountered along the way. However note that other 'risk' coming straight towards us
These 'Yak Trains' travel the route from the Nepalese mountain villages thru the mountains and on to similar villages in Tibet, plying their trade in wares in both directions. Yaks are not renown for their level of intelligence and on narrow paths there are but two rules a) NEVER stand cliff-side of a Yak (trekkers who do can be pushed off, sometimes to their deaths) and b) always stand aside and never stand in their way - they are nervous animals that can scare easily and will run/push past you, a fearsome sight.
Look at those massive rocks overlooking the tiny village of Taranga (if you can find it) below. Not too much further on, another hour or two, we come to the most well known village in this area, Thame.
Northern Ontario - This was mostly a fishing trip but I managed to get out to take photos for sunrise and sunset. All taken with either loxia 50 or c/y 28mm f2.8.
Joe, if your fishing was as successful as your photography, you must have quite some quantity to store in your freezer(s)!
Very nice set, Jim!
And all the usual suspects, of course. That I don't congratulate them/you every time has more to with my laziness than with their/your pictures being any less interesting. Apologies!
Beautiful capture Joshua.
