Tested some add-on crystals and rainbow film from Lensbaby (on Lensbaby Burnside 35) during a Classic American cars meet-up. Not completely sure about all the results, but it's fun and educational to try new things.

Cars now, Helena? I didn’t recognize your post at all but I enjoy them and that rendition of that lens goes well with the classic cars, I would say.

More from Lake Titicaca in Peru - this one was captured after sunrise but the sun was still fairly low but the sky started to take its colors. Again, the row of structures the so-called Floating Islands. Those are man-made island from reeds that the local Uros people built for their homes.
Joshua: Wonderful lightning. Europe two pages back, now South America. You're sure collecting lots of mileage points .
Bob: Beautiful reflections. Are you keeping the CV 21, the Loxia and the 24 GM ?
Great perspective, Rene. Congrats on your 24 GM.
Helena: Your images taken with that particular lens always remind me of older Hollywood movies. It's a very distinct look, which I find quite interesting.
Douglas: Nice macro shots.
Chuck: Beautiful mountain landscape on the previous page.
Sorry for my recent lack of contribution, been busy with work and family.

, to his "defense" it was unseasonably chilly in the region while we were there, especially after the sun got close to the horizon and, of course, after sunset.

Thank you very much, Chris! Yes, true but some airlines are not in the same "alliance"....
Work, and especially family will have the priority. The later for sure. And your Loxia image and its sunstars is just wonderful, Chris!. Any reason why it is close to a square format?

Many thanks, Joshua. I probably should have mentioned that in my previous post: I stitched together two shots to get both the foreground and the background in the same frame.

Chris thank you very much! I get the work and family priority thing. It certainly happens to me a lot. Looking forward to more of your fine photo work here!

I got up early this morning and headed to our local lake before work to catch sunrise. My main goal was to test out my 100-400GM but when the sky started to light up, I quickly switched over to my 16-35GM and captured this.
I shot this image before sunrise this morning at 400mm on my 100-400 GM. These are some of the most iconic buildings in SATX. The beautiful Roman Catholic church in the foreground is called the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Little Flower, which opened in 1931. The tower in the back is the famous Tower of the Americas that stands 750 ft. The latest addition to the skyline is the Frost Bank Tower on the left.
The provenance of Sani Monastery is shrouded in the mists of time. At the rear, it has a 2nd century chorten and a meditation cell used by a Kagyupa forebear (Naropa) in the 11th century. If the chorten was dated accurately, this is the oldest Buddhist shrine north of the Himalayas, including Tibet proper. Anyway the little Voigtlander 21/3.5 did its job here. I like the small protector on the corner. It looks like a Staffordshire Terrier, with its own tidy platform gazing across the valley as the centuries pass by, keeping the demons at bay.
but I enjoy them and that rendition of that lens goes well with the classic cars, I would say.
