@Dustin Gent: I really like your pictures, thanks for showing. I also often like the very sharp and clear picture impression. Is your last picture stacked? If yes, how many frames?
Meadowlark Botanical Garden in Reston, VA. Yesterday noon got lucky with hordes of butterflies. Wish I carried 100-400 GM along with my Voigtlander 65mm. It took me forever to capture this shot as I had to get really close to get a tight close-up.

Thanks! I usually focus blend them - but am finding with the 14-24mm especially, that at f/7.1 I can get by with fewer images; it is that sharp. This particular image was 3.

Joshua -- I remember that model. She is one of the cutest of all the models you've photographed (that I've seen). The shot holds up decently in B&W, but I preferred the original color shots. Great shot, regardless of color!

I have a question about why my wife and I are walking our daughter's dogs, when she is in AZ and we are in WA. :D

Thank you very much, Jim! I was halfway expecting for you to remember that. Yes, that model was very lovely. The color version was great but I started to dislike the garish pinkish/purplish light coming from the side, overpowering much of her left side. The lighting was setup by another photographer and we took turn and used other people's setup. My setup was that of Lilly that day. I could tone it down in PP but still.... but when I converted that to B&W, and voila! The colors disappeared .
Walking around Stoke and Devonport in Plymouth. The first shot shows one of the chimneys which was part ofthe Keyham Steam Yard extension to the Royal Dockyard in the 1850's.
