You scored big there, Greg! What June gloom, huh? I should have joined you and Fred Amico there. But I do not have a native long lens..... yet. Well, except for the slowish GM 100-400mm, that is.

This is actually the first image from my trip with Manuel to Val d’Orcia. It was still dark, almost pitch black actually. We left our lodging place early and this spot is close to that location but to our surprise we saw 25+ people there setup with their tripod. Although there was plenty of space but to get unobstructed view, we ended up shoulder to shoulder there. It was dark that I ended up manual focusing for the first several images or so.

Thanks Joshua
And your shots from Val d’Orcia is also stunning !
Love your cow photos Peter, but I don't agree that ours are more good looking than yours.
Various B&Ws from CV 40/1.2 E. Sorry, the old rowboat again, but we pass it every time we go to our cabin in Sweden and I can never resist taking a few shots, especially since it has started to break up and probably won't last much longer. This time the light wasn't too good, but I wanted to try it with the new lens.

Thanks Joshua! It would have been great to see you and Bobby, but I think you guys made a good call. The owls were out but it was a very slow morning for activity. I stayed around for an hour or so longer than the others and was rewarded with some action. Unfortunately, I've been terribly busy to find time to process much of the pics and am just getting around to some of them now. I'll have a few more to share soon. I hope people don't get too tired of seeing them. I'm not able to get out and shoot too often so it's nice to be able to contribute to the threads when possible.
BTW, you could shoot with anything, native or non-native lenses, and produce stellar images. Your work, along with several other members on the forum, set such a high level of quality with each post it's incredible. Keep continuing to inspire.

Joshua, great composition and tones... very natural Seems we are processing similar images at the same time
Some rays of light on the fantastic hills of the Val d'Orcia. FYI, two images blended to balance the exposition:
