There are some great shots on this part of the thread. Spectacular.
Theme here is two skies and shades of green. All taken around the neighborhood trying out the Tamron 28-200. The two sky pictures are panoramas, testing how to get around the 28mm limitation. Stitched in LR.
Looking at 3 Nestling Great Egrets.
Cropped; tripod mounted 100-400mm GM set to 400mm and A7rIII, silent shutter.

At Gatorland, Orlando or Kissimmee, FL.
Other than family grabs I didn’t do much, if anything, people photography since February earlier in the year like this in an European city somewhere ...
Another one from Lake Louise, Alberta. This is where you walk from what is roughly the center point of the view of the lake and the mountains, to the left toward the building & dock where they rent kayaks (seen in the upper left corner of the shot).
Focus stacked from six frames, A7RIII, Fe 12-24/4, tripod.

A few words about my experience so far with Voigtlander 35 / 1.2 SE:
This is clearly a modern design. At a fully open aperture pictures are sharp,despite the shallow depth of field. That's why I liked him the most.More - even in harsh,ugly light,at full aperture, spherical aberrations are not obtrusive, and chromatics rather moderate (mainly LoCA).All easily correctable in PP.
Closed down to f5.6-8,the lens is very sharp and contrasty,with nicely saturated colors. Background blurr is smoothest in close-up photos and pretty nice overall.
I'd rather make him look like his brother with the Leica VM mount, but hey, he can do the job too.

Fun lighting experiment with my wife. I asked her to imagine that someone had brutally disemboweled me with a knife and now he was coming after her!
Shot at 35mm f4 on a tripod in self timer mode. After focusing and pressing the shutter, I jumped out into the hall with a knife to cast the shadow.
