Philippe, the Lake Leman image of a lone figure standing at the edge of a precipice, separated from the other side, is powerfully evocative. Extremely well done!
Well I'm glad that the thread has picked up to it's normal pace. I found I really miss new posts when I check it in the morning. Thanks all!!
Philippe what a magnificent Lake that is. Truly serene! Beautiful capture!
Paul I like the crop with its bokeh and contrast draws my eye directly to the subject!
Jay the sky at the rear of the house reminds me of here sunny and blue sky on one side of it and grey skies to the other. Nice photo.
Charles you did well at catching the horses up close. I never have that luck.
Kevin where HAVEN"T you skii'd?
Into the western half of Glacier in the are of the rest stop and info center. Took a walk down to Lake MacDonald. So much better in person … breathtaking!
Also got my Df's sensor cleaned yesterday. No more "black snow."

Ken,
Spectacular scenery to match Philippe's Annecy Lake.
Both look so inviting.
Colin
The hustle and bustle of London's Camden Town with its street markets and stalls.
The place has a certain vibe that attracts locals and tourists alike.

Ken from a local TV station this evening:
"On Friday morning at 10:30 am, a small grizzly bear weighing approximately 150 pounds, entered the Many Glacier Campground. It crossed a stream, entered a campsite, and compelled two campers to move away from a picnic table where they were cleaning two recently caught Brook Trout. One of the campers sprayed the bear with bear spray from a distance of 15 feet. The spray was unsuccessful in deterring the bear’s approach, and it proceeded to climb on top of the picnic table and consume the fish. It also sniffed, pawed, and bit two nearby backpacks.
Park rangers responded and used hazing techniques to encourage the bear to move out of the campground. Prior to its departure, it dug into two fire pits, sniffed picnic tables, a tent, and an RV with visitors inside."
I guess that bear had not been told bear spray was supposed to drive him away! Good thing it was not a sow with cubs or we would probably be short a couple of stupid campers now.........

Wonderful shots Rafael! Another lens to look for
Another shot of Archie!
D850 and 50/1.2 Ais
Charles, I have the 50mm 1.2, a great buy a long time ago for $150. It is an used lens but in great shape, engraved, but the engraving is desirable from the San Diego Marine Corps recruit depot Audio Visual training department. In my opinion, if you compare the 55mm 1.2 with the 50mm 1.2, the 50 is a bit sharper, specially at 1.2 and 2.0 but much harder to focus for some reason, the D850 may help with this. I find the overall rendition of the 55mm more pleasing but you do really well with the 50.

Thank you Rafael Love your shots with the 55/1.2! Thanks for the information as I probably will keep with the 50/1.2 AIS until I find a 58/1.2 Noct for the right price Surprisingly I have no issue with MF on the 50/1.2 AIS with the D850... very quick and accurate and rarely need to look at the focus confirmation dot.
Very very nice work everyone! Been hitting the like button a lot!
I´ve been on vacation a couple of weeks but back home now for work a few weeks, then I´m off again for the next trip. I´ve processed some of the shots already and here´s some of them.
I started my journey taking a train from Malmö. The first shot is from Malmö Central station, shot with the Nikon 25-50mm f/4.0 ais. Central Station by Kristian Hagelin, on Flickr
Next shots was outside our first stop, a cottage we rented for just one night.
