So much catching up to do regarding the terrific recent images posted here! Beautiful and thoughtful work by all mentioned here, and some I am sure to have overlooked.
Werner -- Always a pleasure to see your Tuscan villa shots (among the many other destinations and abstract designs).
Toshiro -- Love those graduated color skies and wispy glancing light.
Vivek -- Interesting expression and wonderful coat on the isolated lady.
Mattieu -- Looks like you are getting some very good results from your new CV 21.
Manuel -- Beautiful rending of all those stone and brick surfaces.
Bob -- Tough choices, B&W or color? Hmmmm. You make it hard to choose. Nice shots on the icy lake.
Dale -- Strong image of the isolated tree on hillside.
Douglas -- You are really getting some terrific dawn/dusk shots on Chesapeake Bay/D.C. locations! I can only imaging how much time you are investing to get to all these spots.
Jordan -- Love the frozen fall, and the interior shots (plus your recent family stuff).
Stephen -- Wow, amazing deep blue on the receding mountain range!
Manu -- Love that cliffside village -- thought it was Italy.
Jose -- Strong graphic with clouds and sea.
Jonathan -- Strange and interesting couple! As with so many of your vignettes, it makes you wonder what is happening in each person's life and what is their back-story.
Samuli -- Writing the book on "Saying Something Interesting about Toppled Tree Roots."
Joshua -- From glamor girls to glowing globe -- you really have the knack to make things look exciting.
Rene -- You often inspire me by taking a different look at subjects and getting down to the abstract.
Helena -- I haven't complimented you lately for all the great work you've been posting -- I don't want to seem unfairly biased in your direction. I see what you meant from a long ago comment you made about that cantilever bridge -- it is almost identical to the one I've shown from my hometown of Aberdeen, Washington! I'll have to get a new shot of the bridge on my next trip.
Thank you all for the inspiring images and technical info.
Thank you Jim and thank you for sharing your wonderful images of your adapted home region in WA and from your existing one here in CA.

Here is one last image of the series of the white egret that was searching for breakfast in the morning. Here it spread the wings widely and frankly, I was surprised at the size of the wingspan it displayed. The FL I had, which was perfect before became too long....
I just received my Kolari 720nm IR modified A7 yesterday, so had to shoot it today, of course. All shots with either the Contax G 45 Planar or 28mm Biogon. Probably need the PCX filter on the 28 despite the UT glass on the A7. IR is going to be a wonderful set of issues to resolve, from exposure to focus to post to just the different way of seeing. I can't wait!

Thank you Jim! You and many others here transform every lens in a "must have" lens as your previous posts with the Sigma Art 24 (one of my old wishes)... but now I learned the lesson so I keep my GAS under control
