I am not used to shooting canyons. I quickly learned it's best to include some foreground in the shot otherwise the image can seem like it was taken from an airplane, drone, or helicopter. I really like how this one turned out. I tried to create some transitions in both color tones and light. The god rays from the morning storm was a nice surprise. Note the 3 tourists on the right going to the overlook.
Captured from Dead Horse Point State Park where we camped overnight. Awesome place and nice to get away from the national park crowds.
Details from around the harbor. The picture on the door is called the "Trondheim rose". It is a very old symbol for the town and can be seen in the city flag and many other places.
A7II and CV 75mm f/1.5
Photo taken in Magic Hour, about 27 minutes before sunset.

Well-captured and masterfully presented, Barry! That lens is just perfect for that kind of setting.
Thank you Joshua you are most kind, it's appreciated :-)
The little 50mm Apo-Lanthar is just an excellent little lightweight lens....Although I think I killed all it's goodness with my PP in order to gain some mood.
Likewise...Love the light and PP in your "Downtown Los Angeles" image...A wonderful well captured shot with your 200-600mm

I'm pretty certain that's a male carpenter bee, distinguishable by the white "spot" on their face, which the females lack. One interesting point of fact regarding the carpenter bee is that only the females have stingers; the males do not. As a result, I've been able to catch and release male carpenter bees. They make for interesting subjects to study. However, unlike honey bees, female carpenter bees can sting repeatedly and their stings are painful!
Yep, they are currently boring holes and getting busy in my front porch. 😁

A reminder from awhile back that yes, I do need to buy an underwater housing for my A7R4 before Maui later this year. (this was with my old A7R3 & 24 GM).
Sometimes simple compositions are the best. I lined up this shrub with this massive rock formation at Arches NP after a morning rain shower. 3 shot focus stack.
Thanks to everyone for all the likes and comments on my previous shots. I sure missed posting on this wonderful forum. I need to go back many pages and check out everyone's images while I was MIA for a few months not really motivated for photography.
