Three shots from my Christmas vacation visiting my daughter and family in Portland, Oregon. The last one was taken on a cloudy, snowy day. All shots with the A7rII and the new FE 24-105, a lens I am learning to like very much.
few seconds above the field 'confessed'. and away. Wow these common krestels are fast. Big crop. Of course no 'competition' to our big bird photographers. But still want to show you the picture.
Catching up posting recent images. Course this morning was a bust, but here are a few from Sunset yesterday. Had never been to this location at Sunset. Turned out to be a pretty good spot if I do say so myself. Pretty nice light yesterday.
Mavrick from the Fort Fisher Aquarium. He was hit by a car and no longer able to fly, but he makes a great model. Contax 100-300, I know it's supposed to be sharpest 100-200, but I have no complaints at 300mm either.
First shots with a CV 65/2 that I managed to get for Aust$850-00, not great shots but I am very happy with the lens.
We are away on holidays at the moment and I am using my wives laptop so I hope the colours are OK.
The neutrals look dead on, Ray. Slight purple to skies (pretty common in asph lenses). Looks like mid west of NSW, Parkes area. This one from Carl Zeiss 100/3.5, winter street scene in a very different place. Tibetan women use face masks for two reasons - to warm up their breath in the frigid high alt air, and to protect their skin from the beater sun and cold winds:

Thanks Philip much appreciated, I noticed that, but thought it may have been the computer, you were pretty close, it was coming into Narromine
The moon in the morning was still high and pretty bight. Snow geese and a sandhill crane that took off from the nearby pool where they roosted didn’t quite reach the moon no matter how hard I cheered them on in both cases.... . Fortunately, my luck turned around later on although the moon faded some more and the reddish tint of the early morning light was less intense. Oh, well.
