Just re-read the previous post and re-view the previous page of the thread (what a balanced and gorgeous page) - it is unfair to mention only three authors, the page was composed by a lot of talented people!
@AGeoJO@ - as great as always!)))) I always enjoy your photos, just not always outloud.)))
@Ronny Olsson@ - Ronny, it is unbelievable how you did two completely different shots of the same flower with 100400GM and 90Macro! Bravo!
@Barry Haines@ - BW is such a nice choice for Bodmin Moor! Totally BW atmosphere. ))

Please forgive me in advance: I just had my mind blown today after photographing at Chihuly gardens and museum in Seattle.

I've got quite a number of pyschedelic images of the glass exhibits indoors, not to mention the in situ garden displays. (Holy lightshow, Batman!)
Hope I don't impose too much on your patience or mental state!
Here are a few of my very first images taken there. I'm going to put on my Blue Cheer album as I process the rest!

Jim, love the textures and colors !!! So , please post away . Also really like your "outside looking in" above.
Looks like an amazing place to let your creativity run wild.
New Sony G 16-35/4 PZ was announced.Smaller,lighter,contrastier and,alas,sharper in corners/sides compared to Zeiss Vario-Tessar 16-35/4 ZA.No OSS in there though.I said alas,because I like ZA very much and regard it's sharpness very decent at f8 for landscapes and wide open for interiors,where effects of field curvature are not that much visible.Yet I'm afraid it is highly likely that I eventually replace ZA with PZ.Better sharpness,higher contrast and low weight would probably overwhelm lack of OSS and hated,motorized zoom.

I still have a few thousands of pictures never published on this site (Oh merde! Oh PUTIN!,like one farmer from Saint Saturnin d'Apt in the depertament of Vaucluse / Provence/France, whom I used to rent a cottage from for a long time many years ago used to say,when things did not go his way.)
Some of them are slowly getting too old,so,before they perish and fade away.....
A7R2+ Voigtlander Heliar 15/4 FE
A7R2+ Voigtlander Nokton 21/1.4 FE
A7R2+Voigtlander Color Skopar 21/3.5
A7R2+Voigtlander Nokton 35/1,2 SE - I do not like a little crappier SE design - I prefer classic!
Ich hatt’ einen Kameraden,
Einen bessern findst du nit.
Die Trommel schlug zum Streite,
Er ging an meiner Seite
In gleichem Schritt und Tritt.
Eine Kugel kam geflogen,
Gilt’s mir oder gilt es dir?
Ihn hat es weggerissen,
Er liegt mir vor den Füßen,
Als wär’s ein Stück von mir.
Will mir die Hand noch reichen,
Derweil ich eben lad.
Kann dir die Hand nicht geben,
Bleib du im ew’gen Leben
Mein guter Kamerad!
I say this with greatest regret because I cry over him.
Two days ago my nephew died as a hero in a fight against Soviets in Ukraine, near the city of Irpen.
He was a descendant of a Polish noble family with great traditions, the roots of which date back to 1479, in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, when the King of Poland and Great Duke of Lithuania granted them the noble status for merits in the battles against the Moscovite/Russian invaders.
The fallen hero studied at the polytechnic and the academy of fine arts in our city, beautiful Wrocław/Poland. He was in his third year of studies.
When he heard about the war and understood what kind of war it was, he quit his studies and joined the Ukrainian army as a foreign volounteer, like his ancestors, members of our family, 500 years ago,when Rzeczpospolita was in need and Ukraine was a part of it.
He was a gifted painter. He painted many beautiful portraits in acrylic, including a portrait of my wife with her favorite cat. Beautiful. Adored by everyone. An artistic work that will survive all of us.
He was also a writer.He managed to write and publish only one book,before he died. He was an absolutely unique young man.Extremly gifted,like some of our family members ,repeatedly over centuries. I can't believe that he is no longer alive.That I will never see him again.That I will never hear his cheerful, kind voice and embrace him,as usuall. And that I will never hear him singing in my choir again....
My soul cries irreversibly!!!
All the many heroic warriors in our family of the last 500 years will welcome him in heaven with joy, because he fought like a hero and did not taint our honor!
Hail to you for ages Ziemowit, our young flawless knight !!!
Hail to you, brave warrior like all of our predecessors from the last 500 years!!!
You have not dishonored the fame of our family!
