Kevin: Wonderful panorama of those majestic mountains. How high was that plateau, if I may ask?
Thanks Chris !
Do you mean where I was standing ? I was at Feilaisi which is at ca. 3,300m, the Mei Li Snow Mountains has 13 peaks up to ca. 6,740m (22,000 ft).
The Tibetan Plateau is huge ( 2,500 km or 1,600 mi x 1,000 km or 620 mi ) and covers Tibet and a large part of China (generally from ca. 2,000m up to ca. 7,000m) and it includes the birth of the two mighty rivers, the Mekong and Salween. It was strange seeing the Mekong as not much bigger than the size of a river you could find almost anywhere !

Helena: Your winter weather is even more extreme than ours here. I don't think I would be tough enough to go out and shoot in those conditions.
Werner: I feel for you. That really sucks.
Jannik: Beautiful milky way shot.
Rene: Beautiful B/W coastline seascapes.
Robert: Great birdie shots. I should have some to share soon too.
Joshua: As always, great portraits.
Bob: I really like those cityscape shots taken from across the river. Great perspective too.

Chris -- Nice work! Maybe a little larger, please (like 1400 on wide side) -- it would be nice to see more details.
And yes -- you should get the Loxia 50! I saw one on B&S yesterday for under $600. Amazing set of lenses -- makes me upbeat every time I take them out. It would suit your work.

Oh no, sorry to hear that Werner. The photo turned out beautiful though. Love the soft tones and atmosphere.
charles.K wroteHelena, superb series! I just love how you with one camera A7II and VM 35/1.7 produce amazing images. A lesson for all of us so caught up on updating our gear Thank you very much Charles!
AGeoJO wroteHelena, thank you very much! It was sheer luck...
Your snow landscape and people are just awesome. Thank you for sharing.
BTW, were you the only Sony shooter there in that group?Thank you Joshua! This isn't the whole "gang", but two of the people you see here shoot Sony. One uses A6000 and one recently switched to A7 from µ4/3.
More bad (great! ) weather, this time with A7II and CV Nokton 50/1.5 VM.
We have the cousin to your cantilever bridge in Aberdeen, WA. I'll have to try to get a matching inclement weather shot of it while I'm up there. Probably rain, not snow, but who knows -- maybe I'll get lucky.
Something really seems to be going on with Flickr over the past few weeks. Recently uploaded images are noticeably less sharp, though my export settings haven't changed (unless Adobe changed something under the hood in the latest 6.14 update).
Here's a variation of a shot I posted a few days ago. This one has the couple beginning to make the turn at the top of the ramp, adding a little dynamism over the previous shot. Also, the lifted foot shows more motion. I worked on the color and tones a bit too. I left the perspective uncorrected in this shot, hoping to add a little to that dynamic tension.
Busy week, need to catch up on all the great work. A couple shots taken while trying out the CV 21mm f/4. 1500mm OCX is too strong, but it's not that bad stopped down a bit. I'll try the 5000mm next.
Thx my friends for the many consoling words about my Loxia's loss..
Sht happens - and i finally took it with a lough. Now i have to go back to Venice every year to look for it
A little January thaw in progress was enough to bring out a lone fly fisherman to the mouth of Taughannock Creek on the west shore of Cayuga Lake. Sony A7RIII with TAP + Contax G 28/2.8 Biogon (M mount converted) with PCX front filter and internal spacers removed.
