I just received my new (old) canon 50 1.4 LTM lens. My first tests. Here with the A7III, and cobalt Kodak Gold profile (except the sunset, a stitched pano with the same 50, with Cobalt portra160).
Looking down through the trees across the Lehigh County Zoo and across the Preserve.
Tripod mounted A7rII Kolari Vision UT sensor modified camera and Voigtlander 65mm f2 Macro Apo Lanthar Asph FE mount;
silent shutter.
ISO 100, f6.3 1/80 second.
Exposure Corrected -0.69 Stops.

At the top of the Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, PA.
Some shots from the hiking at Ricketts Glen State Park in Pa yesterday. Most of the leaves seemed to be changing from green to brown, very poor colors this year.
All shot with the A1 and the Sigma 24-74. I had the CV 15 and 21 with me but I don't have the vision to use anything wider than 24mm in this outing. I used a 6-stop ND+CPl filter for some of these, and a CPL on a 3-stop ND for the rest. I think the exposure time was too long sometimes. I didn't have time to fuss around changing filters.
Here are a few from a recent trip to Boston for a wedding in Providence.
Been doing a lot more casual street or travel photography recently. Adventure landscape lenses like my 16-35 and 100-300 aren't able to get out much. Wonder if it's just because of a busy wedding season or signs of less adventures to come :/

Hi Douglas,
Very nice. Unfortunate to hear your report on the leaves changing at Ricketts Glen State Park from green to brown and a very poor year for color. But, that tends to be what I am seeing here to the south and east near Allentown with temperatures too warm and mild. We haven't had those cold evening temperatures and light freezes to kick start the bright, bold golds, oranges, and reds that we like. I will try to get out perhaps later today and over the weekend to some of our County Parks to see if there is any improvement since my last foray on October 15.

Thanks, Rich. Yes, the trees in my yard seem to be changing from green to brown without gong through the orange/red phase too. From Ricketts Glen to Harrisburg, it's still mostly green. I think the change is off by about 2 weeks from the norm. Even Shenandoah National Park is still looking pretty much green.
