I had to go out to shoot some pictures for work, for projects I designed (I'm an electrical engineer), but had to wait for night, and so I stopped by this little park and waterfall to kill time until lights came on:
A7 III + FE 90mm Macro
A7 III + FE 90mm Macro
A7 III + FE 16-35mm f/4
A7 III + FE 90mm Macro
A7 III + Voigtlander 35mm f/1.4
A7 III + FE 16-35mm f/4
And, one shot from my work shoot - A7 III with 16-35. BTW, I designed the lighting here...the high mast lighting for the highway, and underpass lighting and LED decorative lighting under the bridge.
A7 III + FE 90mm Macro
On another note; This thread is so inspiring and really makes me want to travel. Any time that I get bored with photography I just have to check out the images here and remember how there are endless possibilities out there to make images.

You'd absolutely love China!

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).
Thank you! I love 50mm perspective - must take one of them with me next time going shooting.
Zeiss Loxia 2.4/25 FE @ f/9.0, 1/40s, A7r @ ISO 100
Zeiss Loxia 2.4/85 FE @ f/16.0, 1/8s, A7r mkII @ ISO 100 - need to start shooting this kind of scenes with focus bracketing and stack with software, the f/16 DOF is nowhere close enough to cover the scene, and requires deconvolution sharpening to eliminate diffraction
Zeiss Loxia 2.4/25 FE @ f/2.8, 1/320s, A7r @ ISO 100 (125cm / 50inch white reflector)
Zeiss Loxia 2.4/25 FE @ f/5.6, 1/200s, A7r @ ISO 100
Zeiss Loxia 2.4/25 FE @ f/9.0, 1/50s, A7r @ ISO 100

Here is another image from Bromo, - it is a vertical and somewhat compressed image of the ridge overlooking the lowland to the right that's covered by thick fog that morning. The village there is where the majority of visitors stay, including myself. It extends more to the left actually. The image of the two farmers I posted earlier is in the middle of that section some place. The ledge got eroded more in a few places and the barely visible sun, rising on the left penetrated the lower areas of the ledge and was illuminating the fog with its warm rays. What a view!

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! ...Show more →
I see. There is a solution. But it could be better than it is actually. I see the problem with the headspace. That's a manufacturer intolerance problem in my opinion - something shouldn't happen in this years of ultra-accurate industries...
Any way...
Yes with my GF i can do a lot in terms of photography. She shoots as well.
A perfect model to learn to coach.
First time actually using (rather than just testing) the Laowa 15/4 macro. It's quite a unique lens that can get compositions not possible otherwise. This is from Trillium Ravine nature preserve in Niles, Michigan; A7RIII; 5 frames focus stacked.
I decided to bring CY 50/1.7 (and CY 28/2.8, which I didn't use this time).
