Here are some images that I took last evening in Magic Hour and around sunset at the Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, PA with my tripod mounted Leica R 280mm f4 Apo Telyt lens and my Leica R 1.4X Apo extender with my A7r camera. All images processed in LR5.6 and effective aperture of f11.
Parallel lives on a Washington State ferry: the man on the upper level is chimping his camera while the man on the lower level attends to his canine traveling companion. A7 & Leica WATE.
Tons of nice images on this thread, its hard to keep up with everything.
Got some few shots last weekend over at Zion. My buddy had pain on his toe, so we had to come down just after 6 hours or so of shooting, but still had some fresh air there.
A moment I am happy to have captured. My 6 yrs old enjoys using the EP1 and its so cool to see him come and say "Papa look, this is so cute" or "this one is really cool and not shaky".
My 6 yr taking a picture of my 6 month old who never gives me that kinda of pose and I struggle to get a clean shot of him but he just enjoys my 6yrs old's company so much. This is very emotional for me that I am sure would be enjoyed as a bond when they both grow.

Very nice images above! Some incredible shots, too be quite sure!

Agree with Clearwater about the mother and baby photo by aCIDfire. Wonderful.
I also very much like the third photo (sculpture and ghost man) from Siena by nibutto.
And of course lots of other good photos from various people, too many to mention.
@ HelenaN, the first one is beautiful. Last weekend, I saw nice fog in morning and went out hoping to get some good fog picture of country side but could not get the exposure right on any, either too foggy with not much details or too dark to see any fog . May be share some tip with me on fog pictures.

Thank you! It's hard to give general advice since it can vary a lot. I have found that it's easiest to get nice fog photos when the sun is partly breaking through like in these two photos. That way you get some brightness on the landscape. Also, look for subjects with a clear shape that shows through the fog, such as a tree, a road or a house. Without it it can look nice anyway, but often just a boring blur.
Other things I often do is..:
-Expose as brightly as possibly without burning out highlights.
-Brighten the shadows afterwards in post processing.
-Give photos a warmer tone/white balance.
-But sometimes dark is better, and perhaps B&W, for a great mysterious mood.
The photo you posted looks nice, a good start. I like the slightly creepy shapes of the trees.
Hope you enjoy, Mark.
