Thats the "Golden Staircase" posted earlier, from the upside downwards.
A difficult shot, there was no stand for the tripod, i had to stick the camera mounted to the tripod through the handrail and steady the tripod with my hands on the floor the cam in the middle of the staircase.
At 2 seconds exposure i succeeded almost, there is a little bit of cam shake visible at 100%.

I am not only jealous on your awesome shots but also places you have visited lately. Thanks for sharing, Joshua.
Thanks, Michael! What do retired people that are still mobile and enjoy photography do? They end up traveling and taking picture, of course....

Joshua - great portraits, especially the last of the young market vendor - just a wonderful shot.
A personal opinion - I find the B&Ws too crispy and contrasty. They are beautiful shots but I'd like to see some alternative processing ? : )
Hi Kevin, thanks! When I converted the two images to B&W using Silver EFX Pro, I selected the preset as "Harsh High Structure" and I was a little overzealous and bumped up the structure some more. The step resizing I used also included some sharpening process, adding to the crispness. First, I liked the B&W conversion that way and posted them here but later on, after looking both images, especially on my iPad, I felt that it was over the top. In the meantime, I toned everything down a notch or two. Actually, I ended up selecting another image of that smoking lady that showed a little better separation between her hand and face that I liked better. Yes, I took almost 30 shots of her from different angles and sides.
Thanks,
Joshua

One from a 22km x-country ski in Kananaskis Country west of Calgary yesterday. Gorgeous, warm day in the Rockies. Taken with the A7S+MATE at 28mm f/11.

A7-> FE 55 (ISO 1600)
I'll refrain from my usual kvetching about the A7-series. Man, the FE 55 may be "sterile" but it is serious performance for the price.
(as processed, are the colors too punchy? I keep looking at the final output and am wondering about it...)
Sirimiri,
I think the colors are fine except for the yellows...I've noticed the exact same thing in my A7 photos...the yellows turn an unnatural shade that looks fake (or calls attention to itself) when you push the vibrancy a little. I'd try adjusting the colors in the saturation by channel rather than globally (and avoid adding yellow). I also use PhotoNinja to process or Huelight A7 color profiles in Adobe to get a bit more accurate than Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop colors, which helps skin tones quite a bit. I'm also playing around with DXO Optics Premium 10 - seems to also help with detail and colors on most photos.

Thank you very much! Well, here is another image of the smoking lady that was processed a little bit differently. Again, I ended up liking this better because of the more pronounced separation between her face and hand. I posted two more images of puffing ladies but after awhile I decided to put in three other images instead that I took at the same market....
First I took a few shots of this boy and I showed him his image on that camera and captured his impression on a different camera. His expression was simply priceless.... Shortly after that, he started kissing the monitor on the back of my camera
. He reminded me of my grandson who is a little bit younger than this boy that does the same thing....

A7 with Mamiya 80mm f2.8 N (at F11) and MD 35-70mm f3.5 Macro (35mm and 70mm at F11).
Found that the sensor reflections disappear if you underexpose for the lights, are almost unnoticeable with normal exposure (and the Mamiya lenses help eliminate - coatings?), and get pretty obvious if you overexpose the lights by 1 stop.
At first, I thought it occurred due to focal length, lens used, adapter, lens coatings, or when you approach the outer edges of the frame.
Inspired by Gregg for the tree photo. I like the lines of this tree, so I waited until the lights went out (sunset + 45 min) and caught the orange glow from the surrounding city lights. It was a pretty windy, so some of the smaller branches are a bit blurry.
Mamiya 80mm f2.8 at f11 (20 second exposure ISO 50) - added saturation and clarity, camera picked a white balance that I liked (near daylight).
Mamiya 80mm f2.8 at f11 (0.8 second exposure), Exp comp 0, proper exposure for lights
MD 35-70mm f3.5 at 35mm and f11, Exp comp +0.36 Lights close to right exposure
MD 35-70mm f3.5 at 70mm and f11, exp comp -0.83, Lights overexposed
