Some great shots on the last page and unusual subjects as well. Three limekilns, each of slightly different design, from Michiel and then, from Helena, a ship made out of the successor to lime, concrete. Also love the fishing shots from what would have been a somewhat unstable platform.
Wilhelm, just noticed your comment above. I think there were quite a few concrete ships and barges built during WW2 and concrete yachts were built in the UK until fairly recently, 1990s perhaps. I prefer your lovely steel yacht though.
78 photo stitch Sony A7 With FE35MM, Lightroom 6 could not stitch it, Photoshop CC could not stitch it, so I had to stitch it in rows in PS and then stitch the Rows together and then crop. Still some stitch errors so I'm not to thrilled after all that work but I can always restitch I just can't go back to RedRcoks, CO for a while.
I have been playing with the new LR6 tools and rescued an older picture to try the new HDR feature. The results are impressive and natural looking while increasing dynamic range quite a bit.
Taken with A7R and TS-E 17mm f/4L. The lens was tilted for expanded DOF and shifted for better framing and distortion control.
For those shooting with the A7R and Canon lenses, there is a new free tool called LensChanger which corrects the names for Canon lenses in Lightroom and shooting with the A7 series cameras.
(See the metadata below the image is showing the correct lens name now)
Very awesome images on this page from PeterT, aeonsim, Werner, Wilhelm and of course Fred...great stuff!
Michiel, your empty street shot above is, IMO, incredible!!! I really feel like I'm right there!
A few more random pics...A7rM and M Summilux 50 E46 pre ASPH

Wilheim.
In WW 11 , Kaiser Corporation in USA built Liberty ships out of concret for t he war effort. At the e nd of the war they built automobiles named Kaiser, Fraizer and a small two door named the Henry J. that small car was also Sold by sears as an Allstate. Not sure who made you old boat ? , but nice photos no less.

Helena, got to ask, the ship hull on previous page looks like it is built in concrete but that cant be the case right?
It is indeed concrete. On Flickr someone asked me "but how can a concrete ship float!?", but I think he forgot that steel isn't exactly light either. I have more shots of this ship, but I think maybe they'd look more interesting in B/W. I'll try it when I have the time.
Some spring flowers with C/Y 50mm/1.7 and Canon 500D close-up lens (except the first one).
Unfortunately, it has a loose front element. When the camera is tilted down the front lenses fall forward making everything all glowy and out of focus. The last shot suffers somewhat from this.
The seller has several copies and will send me a new one. The only problem is that this one is an MM version and I think all the others are AE. As far as I can tell from reading about this lens there are no important changes between AE and MM. If someone knows otherwise, please let me know and I'll ask for a refund instead or a replacement.
