It's like phone voices - I do an amazingly poor job predicting age and looks based on phone voice. Apparently, the same is true with great photographs and their respective photographers
Great stuff as always Joshua!

Hi Scott,
I was 28 once.... and that was 39 years ago to be exact . I don't know about loads of photographic talent though. Let me put it this way, photography is more than just a hobby, it is more a passion of mine and sometimes to my wife's chagrin. Even in my old days, I always strive to improve my skill, not only in the composition, exposing, focusing, etc. while actually capturing images but also in the post processing end of it. I am not too old to learn new tricks and that keeps me active/busy and out of trouble.
We had a fiery sky this morning. Captured with the Batis 18. This park is 5 minutes from my house. I rushed over as soon as I saw color in the sky. A minute after I captured my images, the color was gone.

In addition to being an extraordinarily talented photographer, Joshua is also extraordinarily generous and kind to others. Both his photographs and his spirit add immeasurably to this site and do so much to make it a good place to be.

You are too kind... and thank you for your flattering words, Peter!
Now, let's see some more images taken with Batis lenses, please.
Panama Canal, 2nd last lock before Gatun Lake, as passengers look on at the bow.
A7RII, Batis 25.
I'm having some trouble with links retaining the image's original sharpness, which may be related to Flickr. Trying this as a direct upload. (Edit: I can see that this didn't really improve in terms of sharpness, but it seems to be image dependent, and probably a function of my lack of experience in this area!)
I just received my Batis 85 and I'm super excited about the IQ and versatility of this lens. The only bad thing is I'm afraid I'll now also want the 18 and the 25.Here are a couple of the first frames with it on the A7II.

I'm with you on that about the 18 and 25. I also just got the 85 and the more I use it the more I like it.
I just posted this on the FE Images thread. What I liked about the image was the bokeh. Shot at f1.8 the window frame was just a couple of feet behind the flower.

Thanks for the kind words. Its Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii. This is the Halemaʻumaʻu Crater taker from the Jaggar Museum.
