Bodie, California - A7r with Leica WATE. I took hundreds of photos here. I would have taken even more if not for the extreme heat and my travel schedule. I had a bag full of lenses but never took the WATE off the camera.
WAY TOO MANY AWESOME PHOTOS on this page!
Dpedraza,Phillip, Helena,Werner, John, Miciel, Oldraven, and finally, Dale.
Dale, those WAIT pics are incredible!
Some from today with the Contax G90. This lens has been glued to my A7 recently!

Thanks for the kind words and likes on the Iceland photos! Much appreciated.

Helena, superb set. especially first two, how you sharpen your img for web, I feel them looks beautiful, natural and paint like.
So glad to hear that because I have been slightly worried about my sharpening, i.e. that I don't do anything fancy. It's just Lightroom's export defaults, and occasionally I go to the Sharpening section and move the slider from 25 to 30-35. For those two photos I think it's mostly the light that gives the paint like quality. It was very soft, warm and low contrast.
ebookman, great photos from Bodie. We were there about 10 years ago in fall and it was amazing. Very cold day with no other tourists and it started to snow which made it even more interesting and moody. Unfortunately that was before I got into photography...
I was looking for a place to tryout the filter. A place in my native town of Worms came to my mind where we where playing as little kids some 50 years ago.
The so called “Schifferklavier” at a little creek called Pfrimm.
Schifferklavier translates to “accordion” but then looses the allusion to Klavier= piano and to the Schiffer = mariner.
There is a weir, a bypass and the ford where you could pass the creek on stones: “The piano”.
When i arrived the creek had, due to strong rainfall, swollen to a brown torrent.

Just bought a BW 110 ND filter.
Looking forward to seeing more pictures taken with this filter.
I find the BW 110 too strong sometimes (especially with a super wide angle that needs to be stopped down to f11 for decent IQ) and I am going to complement my BW 110 with a BW 106 (i.e. 64x or 6 stops).
I have a 106 as well (smaller size, the 110 is 67) and a vaio up to x5.
Inspired by Ronny's posts i was looking on the Lee system but found it to bulky.
In full daylight the 106 is not enough, i had to stop down to F16-22 or more if possible, too much for my taste even with UWA's. On a 18 or 21 Zeiss F8 to 11 is enough.
The 110 is perfect for daylight you can control A and S very well with ISO. Depending of water "speed" you need 10 -30 sec for a good effect. The real challenge is focusing: With the 10x it is "night" in the EVF.....

Werner, thanks a lot for sharing this information.
My wife and I are going to Iguazu Falls next spring (we went there exactly 10 years ago).
I will make sure that I bring both filters...
