A few pages back I posted an image of novice monks on their way back to the monastery. They brought back alms, consisting of mostly ready to eat food donated by nearby folks in the market. The food is shared among them in the eating hall. I saw a few hundreds novice monks there in 3-4 eating halls. They sat in a group of 4-8 on the floor and enjoyed their meal. BTW, they eat only once a day, at around 11:00AM. For the rest of the day, they just drink water. By the look at it, they seem healthy and thriving.
Although it appears offensive to us but they really don’t mind people taking pictures of them while having their meal. The vast majority of the photographers there used DSLRs. And the Sony mirrorless was a novelty in 2014. But I was able to take images that most couldn’t do, and that from a higher point over the eating “table”, attributed to the flip screen, like in the 3rd image....Show more →

@lone_wolf@ Your second image on the previous page is top notch! Bravo!
@AGeoJO@ Beautiful series, Joshua. As a matter of curiosity - is it Myanmar?
Thank you very much, Alexy! Yes, it was in Myanmar.
Great job capturing and presenting that image and yes, for sure, it looks vintage, Alexy!

Exquisite captures of the monks, Joshua!
from this morning.
Thank you very much, Doug!
And you are a dedicated photographer, for sure. Wonderful images and not only from this morning but each time!
Being observant is an important skill for a landscape photographer. I had anticipated the morning light on this scene and was not disappointed when the sun crested over the mountain.
Beautiful sunrise this morning, from the same old spot.
I bought back a Voigtlander 12mm some months ago but never had the opportunity to shoot with it. I don't shoot UWA much. This morning I went to the George Peabody Library (opened in 1878) of Johns Hopkins University to play with it again. I shot this library with the CV 12 that I sold few years back. We don't often see architecture like that in the U.S.
"The library contains 300,000 volumes, mainly from the 19th century, with strengths in religion, British art, architecture, topography and history; American history, biography, and literature; Romance languages and literature; history of science; and geography, exploration, and travel."

Last month was my first outing with a new-to-me Sigmonster 35/1.2. I meant to shoot wide open but accidentally bumped the aperture ring, still has a beautiful look and I want to experiment more.

Beautiful captures of the snow, Peire. Send some my way! we didn't get any snow last winter in our area, that was the first time in the 27 years I have lived in Maryland. We just had 3 inches of rain yesterday, wish it were snow!

That was a great lens, Joshua! Wish I still had it.
Great photo, too.
I don't envy having to go through all those files, but you have some great ones in there.
Hi Jim, you remembered that great lens, huh? Thank you for your kind comment! I tend to take way more pictures than absolutely necessary with the intention to delete them later. That “later” happens too infrequently; hence my bloated storage situation.
I am enjoying your images from the wooded and urban “neighborhood” of yours.
