Palace of Princess Marianna of Orange. Built in the mid-19th century in an eclectic style. Huge structure. Once dazzling with numerous works of art. Plundered by the Soviets to the bare walls in 1945 and then set on fire by them. It remained in ruins for several decades. Currently under reconstruction.
35GM. Two basically (I was handholding and not using tripod) identical images - first at f1.4 and second at f8. I like both, but the f8 image is probably my first pick. This lens is so versatile and I love its rendering at any f-stop.

This shot is from the same sequence of the picture I posted yesterday, but cropped heavily. Although not as much as the A7RIV, the A1 still offers plenty of resolution for cropping.

Joshua: That shot above looks very crisp and detailed for ISO8000.
Mudlake: This looks pretty impressive for a landscape shot wide open. We've certainly come a long way in lens technology in general, and great native e-mount glass specifically.
Ronny: The background and the color palette of the falcon's feather really make for a nice fit. Great find.
Tim: That's a wonderful series of waterfall shots you posted 2-3 pages earlier. I wish conditions would allow for me to go out and take some waterfall shots too.
Thank you very much, Chris! I had to run that file through Denoise AI to minimize the noise. That image appears a tad over sharpened and that after I dialed down the sharpness, structure and clarity already. I believe it has to do with the feather structure of that bird that renders it that way.
Excellent flower image using that Tamron lens, Chris! The colors are wonderful and the bokeh is smooth even at f/4.5.

Another uncropped image even at 200mm of this juvenile peregrine falcon...
They see no one from the outside world between October and May (this photo was 14/5). If anyone gets very sick, the Indian army flies a helicopter in. When the new all-season road opens (it took a conflict to build it), their world will change forever, as the region is spectacular. If the world regains its sanity, I'll be there too.
