Looking across Heart Lake (Lake owned by the Adirondack Mountain Club) which has a hint of mist on the lake as well as in front of part of the mountainside softening the image and colors.
Tripod mounted Leica R 180mm f3.4 Apo-Telyt and A7r.
ISO 200, f11?, 1/100 second.
Exposure Corrected -0.59 Stops.

At Heart Lake, the Adirondack Mountains, Lake Placid, NY.
It was early in the morning and the lighting conditions were low. Still, I was hoping to get some take off action of this female trogon, hence the shutter speed and high ISO setting but it did so really fast. It caught a bug and flew back to the perch and thankfully, facing my direction. Since I didn’t have to catch any fast movement anymore, I lowered the shutter speed to get a more decent ISO setting in the second image.

Thanks Joshua. Another stunning bird and image! WOW!
Spent a few days in North Devon last week - these are from a coast path walk just south of Hartland Quay and show the distinctive geology of the Hartland Peninsula.
Our resident Hawk taking a bath again.
It seems to be doing that pretty frequently.
Overview.
Crop.
A9 + FE 400/2.8 GM @ f/5.6
An A1 with its 50 MP would do nicely here, as would an A7r2, A7r3, or A7r4 for this 2 in 1 image.
First the overview showing the widely sprayed water.
Second zooming in on the "culprit".
I took some really closeup pictures of lotus flower pedals this morning but managed to reformat the card before loading the files to my computer. Anyway, these are what I picked from the leftover.
