It's such a tough spot to take photos with the background and the fences and whatnot... I still don't know what the government here was thinking building so much around a tourist site.
You still made it work though!

Thank you very much, Alan! When I used to live not too far away over 45+ years ago, I could take the bike to that place. There was virtually no fences back then that I could remembrer. I was under the impression that those windmills are individually and privately owned, at least back then but I could be wrong though. To me that’s the best spot to see several windmills fairly close to each other. Plus, the old country houses nearby are also quite photogenic.
I have recently acquired a couple of Samyang's Tiny Series lenses as lightweight options to carry while hiking and fishing. This image was just a quick snap from last week as I was fishing on one of my favorite trout streams here in West Virginia. I'm rather impressed with the image quality of this 18mm f2.8 lens on my A7RII and A7RIV cameras. At full resolution, the Samyang's images are remarkably sharp out almost into the corners and compare very well to those from my Batis 18mm. The build quality and weather sealing (none) are inferior to the Batis, but the Samyang is a $300 lens that, at 145g, weighs less than half as much as the Batis and is physically much smaller. Each lens has its place in my photography, but in my fishing pack, Samyang's 18 2.8 and its companion 45 1.8 (162g,<$300) perform very well and definitely lighten the load on my ageing back and shoulders!

That was only a test of the macro function of the Tamron SP 27A 28-80 3,5/4,2 at 80mm.
It rendered so well I wanted to share it. How could a 50 € zoom be so nice in macro mode?
Some picks from recent hunting trip. A7rV's animal detect worked amazingly (for the most part). Except for some random false positives and not registering an eye correctly (maybe due to too low light and animal being too far away), it worked wonderfully. Thousand times better than the abysmal performance I experienced at same location in the last trip where I used same lens (Tamron 150-500) with X-H2.
