Two more images that got misplaced from an Olympic National Park trip this spring. Both from Lake Crescent. At ONP I spend a lot of time working under an umbrella clamped to my tripod. Don't know what to do when the sun comes out
A7 & Leica WATE.

I think those images are amazing. I still have a tough time discerning excellent lenses versus excellent PP. Love the style you chose...
thanks!
the c/y 35/1.4 is a magical lens at certain distances wide open and it makes everything look good with an amazing 3D pop. like all lenses it does have it's weaknesses. the more you shoot with a given lens the more you'll find yourself composing to bring out the best for the lens – choosing compositions that take advantages of the lenses strengths and minimize it's weaknesses (or in some cases emphasizing weakness stylistically). i now find that i shoot completely different types of images with certain lenses even though they are the same focal length.
regarding your earlier post about processing – i do process my files pretty heavily but i only spend about 30 seconds per image these days. i have a bunch of presets that i made for looks that i like (and i often have these in mind when i take a shot), so applying these just requires a single click. after that i usually just do a little tweaking of curves, exposure, and vignetting (most of my images have a ton of vignetting added). i rarely use the clarity slider except on b&w shots and i rarely make local adjustments except for bird shots where i often need to denoise the oof region but not the in focus region.
regarding finding the type of photography you like, i suggest browsing flickr or another such site to find a bunch of pictures you like, then try to emulate them and see which give you the most enjoyment.
