Samy - I shot it from the hip. It's a crop. The original shows a lot more of the buildings in the background.
Philippe - I'm repeating myself here because I know everyone's not on Flickr. It's such an amazing reflection shot, it actually almost doesn't seem to be a reflection because he's looking right at the camera. It's very surreal having objects and text floating around him. It's also a very dark pic. I think the Prince of Darkness crown has been taken.

Nice shot Doug. All variants of the 105/2.5 are good in my opinion. Good luck at Joshua Tree, that is a bucket list location for me one day. A lot of west coast locations on the list of this east coast guy
George
Thanks, George
With my luck, this will be the one year in a hundred where its clear in Montana and cloudy at JT!!

Yes, I have, and you are right, it will be a small issue. However, according to "PhotoPills", the moon will set just before the peak, so the second half of the night should be OK (or so it says). Fingers crossed

PS - my sister recently moved to Palm Springs so it gets me to where I can get some much need "southern" sunshine!
James, that pie looks scrumptious.
David, spider tree is wonderful, I like how you let the parts of the tree just leave the frame in various place, including the left edge.
Ani, wonderful eye and angle with the new shot processing.
Phillipe, that reflection shot with the motorcycle is a highlight for me from the past few pages.
Kav, the full spectrum IR shot down the canyon just draws my eye due to the color; somehow the IR color shot makes the leaning of the trees OK.

Love this. I bet this woman has a story to tell.
Thank you Leighton. Unfortunately it's not in focus. I wasn't expecting her to walk towards me and I'm crap at focus at the best of times.
Jay - love that first Hedge House pic. I thought it was very witty, a house called Hedge House and all you see is a tiny part of the roof over the top of an enormous hedge.
John - the 75 - 150mm (which used to be one of my favs) on the GFX 100, that's a wonderful combination.

My apologies Ben and George.
The shot was with an A7Riv. The reference was to Cobalt's color profile simulation of the GFX100's Velvia output.
Ah. Gotcha. No worries. I was interested because I shoot the GFX 50S and have not tried that lens on it. Yet...

oh well.....the A7RIV is an interesting combination too, a long way from what was ever contemplated for that lens, but medium format would have been quite remarkable.
I was this morning at the ceremony of the WW1 victory.
While there, I again thought that I am the first male member of my family who didn't fight against the Germans for 4 generations.

Ben,
Posting these to satisfy our curiosity. Here are 4 snaps using the 75-150mm f/3.5 E series zoom on the GFX 50S. I have to say I am completely surprised. Very little corner vignetting. Every Nikkor zoom I have tried to adapt have had very hard vignette.
Please ignore the subject matter. Just shooting from the front porch of the house for a quick test.
This lens would be very usable with minimal cropping.
I would have never have tried that lens without John's post.

George - thank you, that is very interesting, actually I'm shocked. To me, that's minimal cropping, I've got lenses that vignette worse than that. That last one at 150mm really shows how the background melts away. That is a sensational performance for such a "cheap" lens. Wonderful to see these lenses have survived from film to digital, mirrorless and even medium format Fuji
digital.
