Hi guys, great images from you and also from @birdied@@ I hope it will be another occasion to meet you again in the future.
Sooner or later I will post some images... my Windows OS died in the last days so now I'm working to recovery my PC
Manuel
I am all for it and I am looking forward to that, René and Manuel!
Manuel, I hope you could recover the image files of your computer...
From Venice Mask Carnival - 2020 before the Corona virus "panic" in Northern Italy ; the image was captured 2 weeks ago. The sun was not quite up yet although the sky was great that morning. I put a flash behind this model on a light-stand and triggered it remotely to mimic a backlit situation...
I didn't quite get the name of this person behind the mask

A couple from the Sigma 45, A7 OG. I like how you can get a little separation at f/2.8 even at a longer distance.
Matt -- I always liked that sort of look with real MF films shots. BTW -- your earlier shot of the dunes and grass tufts with the ZF 25/2.8 was great, one of your best of that sort of scene.

It's still fall for me, based on how many images I still have to process. I'll probably be done before next Autumn!
Here are some recent food shots taken with my A7R3 for an Instagram page I shoot for (@alwayshungry.boston). I mostly use the Sigma 35mm 1.2 and now the Tamron 35mm 2.8 M1:2 as well as the Sony 135mm 1.8:
Looking at 3 Nestling Great Egrets; one with its wings stretched, one to the left with eye visible, and the third to the right facing forward.
Cropped; tripod mounted 100-400mm GM set to 400mm and A7rIII, silent shutter.
ISO 100, f5.6, 1/500 second.
Exposure corrected +0.98 Stops.

At Gatorland, Orlando or Kissimmee, FL.
That's some serious sunstar, Jim. I usually hate lens flare, but it's quite effective in this shot.
Joshua: Beautiful portrait. I hope you made it back stateside without too much hassle.
Rich: Really nice portrait of those big lil ones.
Rene: Wonderful light in that shot on the previous page.
Ronny: Another stunner from the Faroe islands.
Helena: Beautiful series. Makes me miss real winters with snow.

Thanks Jim, appreciate it. Always great color in your fall shots. When are you going to get to Winter and Spring though?!?

Yes Joshua, images are safe... only the Win7 OS, after six years, "decided" to become corrupt. Now I've updated my PC to Win10 and, incredible since we are talking of MS, seems to work
Manuel
About this image and the precedent one with blue flowers on the left corner, let me tell you the story: we, me and Joshua, were taking pictures side by side with cameras on tripod and Joshua said me "look at the rocks: there are blue flowers on it and there is a good composition to catch"... well, I moved to that spot just few steps from our tripod with my second camera and I tried to understand the suggestion but I haven't seen nothing interesting so I returned to my tripod asking to myself "what was so interesting?". This explanation is to show you what an eye and what a photographic instinct Joshua has... when I saw the result later at dinner, I understood all... especially how much more I have to learn

Thanks Chris! Yes, that is a more "in-your-face" glare than I am used to looking for. But with the strong silhouette of the maple on the left, it seemed pre-ordained.
Matt -- Thanks as well. I did get a bumper crop of fall and not so much of winter. My "winter" was a lot of So Cal and Michigan, neither of which were very wintery this year. Here's a shot of gloomy skies in an effort to find something wintery in Washington.
