Still rain almost every day, so here are some more evening street shots. There will probably be more later, some with Lensbaby lenses. Hope I'm not boring you.
A7RII and CV 75mm f/1.5 (many of them with a Tiffen Pearlescent filter).
I used the default ISO setting since I started using Sony some 7+ years ago. It worked fine if you change the ISO setting a lot while shooting. In the last several years though, I have been using Auto-ISO and I virtually haven’t changed the ISO since. When I was photographing this, for whatever reasons, that pushed that right hand 4-way button and inadvertently changed to ISO to ISO25,600. Ouch. And I didn’t realize that until a few moments later. It happened to me before about 2 years ago and now this. When I got back home, I removed that function. Now, I put in the ISO setting in the Fn menu.
Fortunately, because it was slightly overexposed the noise levels at 25,600 are not too bad and combined with Topaz Denoise, I could salvage the image and here it is.

Love this shot, Joshua. I haven't been able to get decent pictures in the Amish area yet even though they are only 70 miles from where I live. I need to try again.

TFS.
Thank you, Doug! I wish the carriage would have gone towards me instead. Oh, well. I got a few that afternoon and fortunately, some I took after I discovered my boo boo.
There were 2 ladies in that carriage wearing their traditional outfit. They were very friendly, I waved at them while they drove by passing my location and they waved back and smiled.
Thank you very much Douglas! Your own sets are stunning. How nice that you and Joshua got to meet each other.
It still rains nearly every day. One single morning there was some frost though, so I played with the Lensbaby Edge 80 and its rainbow flare. (The rainbow effect at the top of #1 was real though - not caused by the lens.)
Looking at Red Maple Leaves still on the tree.
Full Frame, tripod mounted A7rIII and Voigtlander 65mm f2 Macro Apo Lanthar Asph FE mount; silent shutter. Leaves were stabilized by clamping a Wimberley Plamp II to the tripod and to the tree branch.
ISO 800, f10, 1/125 second.
Exposure Corrected +0.09 Stops.
