Tonight I wanted to see how the Loxia 21 and Voigtlander 15/4.5iii compare in field of view. The lighting approaching sunset was changing very fast and although there was only 1 minute between these two exposures the shadows were different. First is the Voigtlander 15 and the second is the Loxia 21. I can't decide which I like better. I did like the lighting tonight. I had to climb a hill in the dry, yellow grass to get the view I wanted. Problem is that rattle snakes like to come out of hiding at this time of the day and I was a little spooked I would surprise one in the dry grass. I made it out safely! The last image was with the Voigtlander 15 after the sun had set from the bottom of the hill.
Ronny, thank you very much! And you keep on generating amazing macro images lately!

Thank you very much, Birdie and your opportunity will come up in Feb of next year.
You image of this anole is simply amazing. The details, clarity and colors are just top notch. My extension tube set was delivered several days ago but I haven't had the chance to do anything with it yet, let alone creating images like yours yet, not even close... .

The first image was initially posted a number of days ago cropped and straight out of the camera in the thread requesting what kind of Immature wading bird this was.
The second photo is now IDed and processed.

Some more from yesterday. All handheld panos with the A7RIII and Lox 21
This first one is from the summit of Carn Mor Dearg looking across to Ben Nevis (Britains highest mountain). The subsequent photos (and previous posted photos above) are from various points across the Arete ridge on the way to Nevis summit
The last image was with the Voigtlander 15 after the sun had set from the bottom of the hill.
