Joshua, your photos from Indonesia are amazing!
We went to our cabin in Sweden last week and to make Samuli happy
I decided to bring CY 50/1.7 (and CY 28/2.8, which I didn't use this time).
The light was nice and made the colors really pop.
Love it when the grass is yellow. I think it is much nicer for photography than when everything is green. Green is OK in early spring though when it is fresh and have many different tones.
Helena, thank you so very much! I got lucky with the weather/atmospheric conditions while there.
Your images are not only lovely but they are distinctively yours. Sometimes, I view images from the end of the page and as I go through the images that way, I could pick out yours without actually seeing your name. Keep up the great work, Helena!

Absolutely stunningly gorgeous Joshua !
Bromo (Indonesia island hopping) is one of 3-4 locations penciled in for the next 18 months (Kyrgyzstan, Sichuan in China and a 4th trip to Nepal are the others). Shots like this make me want to promote Indonesia to the top !
Kevin, thank you for your kind words! To take advantage of Bromo within the constraints of time, you have to hire a local guide that knows the area inside out AND familiar with photographic spots.
The Bromo trip did push the limit of my body. Frankly, I am out of shape
. The hikes were quite strenuous and the driving around in an uncomfortable 4X4 on rough terrain was tough. Twenty or so years earlier, it would have been better to do this trip. The guide and his 2 assistants we hired helped quite a bit though. They carried some of my gear and literally, pushed me and/or pulled me through the toughest sections and we rested quite a bit on the way up. Keep in mind that we had to do it while it was still dark to reach the point to do some astro photography, well before the sun was out. They picked me up at 2:00AM from the hotel. Yes, the view from the higher elevation was breath taking and it was worth-while. The following day, we climbed to a different and even higher elevation but more to the east. Too bad, the fog wasn't that thick in the second morning.
Now, that the trip is over, and I started to forget the aches and troubles, and while looking at the images, I seem to enjoy the trip more and more now
. It seems that you are age-wise younger than myself and you are in better shape, too. So, this trip shouldn't pose any issues. I can give you more info on the guide I used for that trip, Please send me a PM when you are ready.
The images of the Great Wall are spectacular. I have been to Badaling twice but again, not really on a photography trip without much preparation. The section you visited at Jinshanling is absolutely more intriguing and beautiful.

Hello
Proudly passed your kind words to my girlfriend! She was happy
And... Sorry for my missunderstandable question.
Due the circumstances i have two PC-E lenses left (45&85) and recently moved over to Sony i didn't know of a possibility to stop down a NIKKOR-E (PC-E) lens, because it's not mechanicel. But it seems to work with the Commlite.
So my question is answerd now.
Thank you for your info!

That would be awesome Joshua - thank you I'll PM you tomorrow (past midnight here now).
I think age-wise we are not too far apart (I hit 60 this year) ? However I've lost 39 kgs over the past 2 years and hiking in the mountains of Nepal and China has definitely improved my fitness/health. I'd recommend it to most people.
Your trip sounds awesome and yes we tend to focus on the positives and generally forget the negative aspects of any trip or at least their significance lessens - such as my chronic insomnia at extreme altitudes (4,000 - 6,000m) !
Thanks again Joshua. Badaling and Mutianyu (better than Badaling) are fully restored sections of the wall. Jinshanling is partly restored (still has a cable car up though so that helps) but there are many other sections (of course - with over 6,000 kms of Great Wall !) that easily surpass them. I'll post some shots from Gubeikou and Jiankou later. Jiankou is terrifying .. and utterly superb. Take a look at this video of Jiankou in full screen (it's not mine - I took my drone but my video is not in the same league as this) I didn't take all of this route (I was way too terrified in places to do it all) but a lot of it :
it's really worth watching this 5 minute video - this is the Great Wall as you have NEVER seen it before !

The title of the lens contains "PC-E" which means Perspective Control -- Electronic (aperture and exif). The Commlite adapter helps the lens perform along the same lines as it does on Nikon body when being mounted via adapter on Sony body. In this case, the aperture is controlled by the Sony body -- in my case in "A" aperture mode by the front control wheel dialing in what aperture I prefer. The method seems to work well enough, but the adapter is not without its quirks for "G" mount lenses without the manual aperture ring of the AF and AF-D.
I hope that is a little closer to the question you have asked. If not, I hope you can re-phrase in a way I can more easily understand.Hello

Yes, Chris, we need the electronic connection to activate the Nikon PC-E and the Commlite provides that. Otherwise, your earlier comment was correct -- there is a way to disengage the lens from a Nikon camera body to "freeze" the last used aperture. Very awkward and troublesome!
I'm having problems with the Commlite on most lenses with the Nikon mount. First of all, my copy has the wrong headspace -- too long -- making it a "macro" adapter unable to achieve infinity focus with the majority of lenses. This includes Nikon AIS and Zeiss ZF, where also the aperture does not adjust -- stays wide open. On ZF.2 mount I have 35/2 and it does adjust aperture via front camera dial, with lens aperture ring @ f/22 setting -- but still only focuses to 20' at the infinity setting. I am able to use Sigma Art 24-105/4 as it is very generous to go past infinity setting, but I get a lot of slow hunt and peck focus. 45 PC-E is also generous and focuses well past infinity allowing me to use with the Commlite as-is.
I'm quite disappointed in the Commlite, and I have the latest, "greatest" version.
But it does run the PC-E at least. I've got to find a way to send it back for replacement, but being soooo far off of infinity AF, I'm not holding my breath they have this problem solved. Unfortunately, it's the only game in town for Nikon. I'm spoiled by how awesome and inexpensive the Sigma MC-11 is for using Canon lenses on the Sony.

Another thing I'm impressed about your girlfriend/model is that she is very willing to go out in cold and blustery weather for your photo jaunts. She's a real trooper and good sport!
