A shot from Badwater Basin shot late in the afternoon. A thick layer of clouds rolled in. The color contrast of the cool tone mountains on the left and the warmer tone mountains on the right caught my eye in this scene.

Wow, Joshua, this is wonderful! It’s as though your model, rather than posing for the camera, has been captured at the height of some mysterious moment in her life.
Jonathon, thank you for your kind feedback. We took quite a few images during the session, including looking straight at the camera straight at the camera, of course. And then we got to a point when we would like to see a different look albeit slightly. So, we improvised....

Another image from the same location but a different setting and yes, a different model, as well...
It really messes with your mind when you're out taking landscape images at the beach, on Earth, and you turn around to see a guy in a space suit! Only in California!
Catching up with this thread always is a challenge. High speed and high quality. Needless to say, I used a lot of likes.
Bob: Congrats on the Lox 35. Getting a lens from Fred at least ensures that it has to be one of the best copies available .
Joshua: Those geese "flock" shots are very impressive, up and personal, so to stay.
Samuli: A comment on some pictures you posted a few weeks ago, if I may: For somebody who clearly is not a big fan of the Sony 50 1.4, you took and posted some pretty nice shots with that lens.
Helena: Wonderful soft winter lightning in that series on the previous page.
Werner: You could make a nice exhibition with those impressive Lofoten panoramas.
Ronny: Wonderful shot on the last page. I really like the composition around that river flowing downhill in the center of the frame and those subtle reflections of the setting sun in the water.
Another shot from last month. a9 with the 100-400 GM at 400mm wide open
Beautiful winter set, Helena. I am a sucker for red barn in snow. Here are a few from yesterday. This is probably the last snow storm for the season here but you never know.

Hi Douglas,
Nice images. You decided not to go out to Middle Creek today to photograph Snow Geese?

Thank you, Rich. Actually I am going there today to try out the Sony A6400. Too much snow up that way yesterday, I took your warning seriously. But looking at their live webcam, most of the 100,000 snow geese have left for somewhere else where they can find food probably. The lake is frozen again. I am sure I will see lots of red barns in snow up that area.

@Chris_88 Thanks. Sorry if I have been misleading, it's the "other" Sony 50mm f/1.4, the SSM = Alpha Mount version. I only have few issues why I'm not fan of FE-mount Sony 50mm f/1.4 (boke foliage rendering & high boke contrast), as those issues would dominate >90% of my images. If I would shoot something on urban environment (=easy boke scenes) I would love to use FE-mount 50mm f/1.4, so nothing against the lens, it's just not suitable for my use.
Enjoying also your photos, great colors, thanks for posting - nice to see them even in photos as suffering from darkness of winter here.
