Thank you very much, Lawrence! The green heron images are just wonderful!

Ronnie love seeing your Nitro shots and some scenes of your part of the world.
Josh, it's been a long time since I have seen something original from that angle, but I think you got it with the way Halfdome was shrouded. Nice.
Michael, thank you very much! And yes, it is a favorite spot among photographers; there was always a crowd in the morning and in the evening at that spot.
philber wrote: AGeoJO wroteThank you, Philippe! Those two images are awesome... But Otus 55? I could have sworn they were taken more with a wide angle, actually with an ultra wide angle at that.Thanks for the kind words, Joshua! But I assure you, those pics were taken with Otus 55. I spent some time practicing how to shoot with my lenses to stretch my ability with each one from wide-angle-look to short-telephoto look. It explains why I carry 3 heavy lenses every day, but only rarely change from the one mounted on the camera that day.
And your own shot is a delight in every sense!
Philippe, thank you very much! I just thought since your version of the Otus doesn't relay the exif data.... You got a work out at the same time carrying all three heavy lenses. Of course, the images that you generate with them are exquisite.

Sometimes I think my skills at photography have improved a bit, then I come here and realize how much I still have to learn.
Joshua: That landscape shot from Yosemite with the Half Dome in the back and those reflections is simply stunning.
Ronny: Your MF skills remain otherwordly. Many people would struggle to get those shots with AF lenses.
Bob: Wonderful shots on the frozen lake. That one with the sunstar on top of that camping van(?) is pure gold.
Rene: Stunning sea of clouds. I haven't seen one in ages.
Werner: Beautiful monochrome shot. I really like the atmosphere.
Eddie: Those are some amazing lanscape shots on the last few pages.
Philipe: Great perspective and framing in that second shot. Like Joshua this looked more like 28 than 55 to me, but whatever lens you used, great job.
Jannik: Great, atmospheric shot of that willow. Reminds me of Sleepy Hollow .
LBJ: Great BIF shot. The 100-400 GM seems to take both TC's very well.
Thank you very much, Chris! This thread is inspirational and I love the cityscape image - keep up the good work!

Hi guys, these are my very first shots from the Sony A7RIII. Still got a long way to go before this camera feels intuitive coming from a DSLR, but very happy with the 12-24. This is Sydney Harbour about 30-40 minutes after sunset.
Welcome on board, Whayne! So, you finally succumbed to the lure of the Sony sensor, huh ? Congrats! Wonderful images from Sydney. One day I will visit that city... I hope before too long.
Stunning work the past few pages as usual. Fred's recent Smooth Reflection's post got me to try the app out for the first time. B&W since color was lacking here. Zeiss ZF 25mm f/2.8, I'm undecided on this lens...
@Mathieu18:
Nice shots !
The SR App works beautiful, best in combination with a ND filter. The longer your regular time the better it is with the SR App. It does not work with really short exposure time no matter how many shots you use.
In your shots it worked good, i would have smoothed the water a bit more or even way more with concentraion only on the construction.
With (very) long exp. don't forget to correct for the highlights about miuns 1/2 to 1 EV. You will get a lot out of the shadows with no noise.
Many thanks Sir. Great tips that makes perfect sense re: exposure time.

Too many great shots to mention on these last few pages but I have to say, ....... your snow shots Eddie are superb. Sadly the snow rarely makes it this far south these days. Haven't got any mountains either!
Walking the dog shots, this morning (first one) and this afternoon. All with the Leica 75 f2.5 Summarit (on A7R2):
A7RII does birds (slow ones) in flight! The first shot was at ISO 6400. I love my 100-400 GM but I am looking forward to the A7RIII + FE 200-600 (?) combo.
Warm temperatures and melting snow brought heavy fog to the area over the weekend. I took a nice walk along the St Joseph River in Mishawaka (Indiana) yesterday and brought back lots of foggy trees and water. Here's the Logan Street bridge, faintly visible through the fog. A7RII, Loxia 50 at f/11.
