Looking at Sassafras (Sassafras albidum) leaves and Mountain Laurel (Kalmia Latifolia) flowers. Sassafras leaves come in 3 forms (3 lobes [many in the image]).
Tripod mounted A7r and Minolta CLE MC 40mm f2 M-Rokkor lens.

Exposure corrected by +0.29 Stops.
A couple shots from the flyover in Baltimore yesterday. The whole thing was over in about 90 seconds. I brought the A7RIV+100-400, A7RIII+200-600+1.4TC, the latter wasn't really needed because the planes were fairly close to where I stood, they flew almost directly over head.
My wife shot with the FE 50mm f1.8 and a Flashpoint XPlor 600 Pro in a 48” double diffused Glow EZ Lock Octabox. I frankly am not a huge fan of this 50mm lens, but it is certainly useable. I have just been using it more recently as I am starting to dig this focal length more. I’m thinking about replacing it with a Sigma 50 1.4, though I’m tempted by the Sony/Zeiss. It’s quite expensive...is it twice as good?
There were no fireworks in our town last night (July 4th) due to the Virus. The town usually anchors a barge in the bay right in front of us, so it is easy for me to photograph them from our deck. Instead I made several sunset shots, also from our deck. A7RIV, (a brand new camera for me coming from an A7RII) 24-105mm lens, ISO 800 f8. First shot at 24mm, and second shot at 105mm a little later as the sun set. Thanks for looking,

At Gatorland, Orlando or Kissimmee, FL.
Some random snaps with 7Artisans 75mm/1.25
It's a good lens, but for some reason I have to force myself to use it. Not sure if it's the large size, the focal length or something about the rendering.

Lack of fireworks photos is upsetting...
Here in Brooklyn, there have been Macy's grade fireworks going off every night from dusk until nearly dawn for the last 4-6 weeks. It's non-stop and happening right on residential streets. Nothing like a full-on firework blasting right in front of your living room window with sparks and debris landing on the terrace!! The same thing has been happening to both of my kids, who also live in Brooklyn. We are all basically shell-shocked, and if we never see (or hear) a firework again, it will be too soon. :-(
