Edit: Meant to quote Reagan above. But Leighton, you need to come down to the Outer Banks too
Reagan - You need to finalize those plans to the Outer Banks. In a lot of spots it is a literal 300 yard walk from sunrise over the ocean to sunset over the Pamlico sound. We rent one house where you can do both without leaving the cooler full of your beverage of choice on the elevated deck

Here are a few more from my recent trip to Colorado. All were taken with the Fujifilm X-E1 and Nikkor 24mm f/2.8. All were taken in Rocky Mountain National Park except the last one. It was taken from a lake near the town of Estes Park looking back at Long's Peak.

You're welcome, John; that's a very nice contextual shot of the blood-red sun. I'm glad somebody is able to benefit from the forest wildfires that have been raging in Central BC. Though there haven't been fires here on Vancouver Island, like you we have had smoke that looks like high cloud-cover intervening between the sun and us. We've even had cautions posted by Environment Canada about the possible health risks to very young children and elderly people of spending time outside, breathing the slightly smokey air.

Scott, haven't you ever noticed that the more you drink, the more you can defy the laws of physics?
John K., that's a gorgeous photo of the Santa Monica Mountains; I especially like the sharp definition in the clouds and sky.
Ken H., the highly saturated colours of your processing style have taken some getting used-to, but I really like how they emphasize the corrosion in your photo of the rusty fire boat, and the effects of weather on the bricks of the lighthouse.
James, Oliver's new friend, Hamish, is just insanely cute (and, to all appearances, cutely insane)! Thanks for keeping us abreast of his waxing health, and sharing these wonderful images.
Reagan, if you'll keep handling the sunrises so masterfully, we West Coasters can go after the sunsets. That second silhouette shot is truly excellent!
Kristian, the subtle sunset tones in your third fishing trip photo are just lovely!
Scott P., I'm loving your photos from Colorado. They are both reminiscent of, and different from the scenery my wife and I saw as we traveled through Western Alberta and Eastern BC.
Here is a final set of images from the Parksville Beach sand sculpture competition, all from the 105 f/2.5 P on my D800E. The first one is intended just to show something of the amazing precision and effects these sculptors are able to achieve with sand as their medium. I have no idea, for instance, how they carve those numerous layers inside the head and then ensure that they will remain suspended and intact for over a month there on the beach.
Philippe lying down on the road clicking away with each footstep? Remote triggered? Nah, Philippe doesn't do remote. That second one is just amazing. I won't even try and pretend I can pretend to try that
A day earlier, when I realized I had lost my ND1000 filter between that location and our last resupply (retrieved it later after the hike), so the shutter speed isn't where I wanted it, but it's dark down there, and this works alright

Reagan, your last two sets of images are some of the best I've seen from you. Well done!
+1
actually it's nice to see some pics at all ....you're usually on the sidelines lobbing missiles about lens perversity. But imagine if you'd put the 105 on the Fuji, you'd have been that much closer to those fishermen.
Philippe - I've already commented on those pics. Wonderful as always. I would so have loved to have been there watching yo take that second pic - actually that would have been a great pic in itself, an old man on his knees shooting up a girl's blouse. It's illegal here but of course in France........
Peter - that sunset in the mountains is spectacular from every angle. It's a landscape that doesn't exist here.
Fisherman's bike
You can tell by the rust he lives near the water
Had the thing loaded up with gear when he left
He rode by me but I couldn't get a shot
There seems to be a bit of a slow-down here at the moment, so to fill the gap, here are a few photos from the Lake Superior leg of my early May journey across Canada, all in monochrome and square format from various anonymous MFNG on the Fuji X-E2, and processed through LRCC and SEP2. Please notice the snow in the third photo, which tells you something about spring temperatures in Northern Ontario.
Been working my way through my HD really hard, deleted about 35GB of shots just to be able to fill it up even more. Donīt have the funds for now to invest in a hd-system.
Iīve also working a bit more with the Bali shots...
Hereīs a few more from a day trip to a waterfall, Kanto Lampu. Not so many tourists and set in a very little but very beautiful rainforest...
