Contax 28/2.8 - road camp at 5000m, higher than all but a few base camps. Old bridge, soon to be new bridge. Note the huge scree flows, topped up each season as this scene is covered with many metres of glacial snow for six months.
Peter, I doubt you'll be surprised to hear that your photographs frequently remind me of the lines in Blake's Milton a Poem: "On Englands pleasant pastures seen" and "In Englands green & pleasant Land". They really show the beauty to which Blake was referring.

I found an old Canon nifty fifty in the back of the cupboard and decided to see how it went on the A711.
This shot has been cropped a fair bit and PP some what, I have to admit it is the weirdest background I have ever see
Wide open at f1.8 and I think it might go back in the cupboard.
My first thought was: "Wonderful bokeh. Don't put it back in the cupboard!" Then I wondered if the weird bokeh was a result of shooting at f/1.8 and 1/2000s with EFCS turned on, as Fred explained in this post.

Voigtlander MACRO APO-LANTHAR 65mm F2 (again!) on A7RII
Thank you very much, Peter! Great images using the Voigtlander APO Lanthar, which is also one of my favorite lenses now. I used that lens to take a similar image of that tree from further back. I will post that image later on.

After 4-5 landscape images, it is refreshing to post another portrait, don’t you think? Here is one from the lavender fields.
i fell over in the process of taking this shot (squirrel tried to climb up me when i was wearing a baby), but i like the way it unintentionally came out:
first 2 with the hi-matic E rokkor 40/1.7, last with the cv 50/1.5.
