Agreed. Daniel that is fine fine work. The processing is completely new to me and I like it a lot for this genre.

Yeah, I get where your own critical mind comes from, but that still looks damn impressive to me!!

Lee I finally heard back from my mentor Mo. He told me mine wasn't bad at all. So I'm feeling a bit better about myself Well you know how it can
be when you continually get slapped in the face. Either it's the clouds, the Moon, or my work....and then more often or not I just screw up a setting or
forget to do something.
In astro, since there are seemingly a thousand steps from begging to end, it is said you start out perfect and go downhill from there! I think I always start
half-way down the slope.

I would hate to see it go...I love it a lot and have had it for a long time...bought it brand new...but I don't use it as much now...

Thank you sir...means a lot coming from one of the best people photogs...

it doesn't bother my eye...beautiful image.

the background has such a cool effect to it...looks like a painting.

The background is the result of a super fast aperture ( 200 f2 ) in this case, sharpness and just the right amount of ripple in the water. The 135 GM also does it easily but it's a little more contrasty so in my view not as appealing.

As uploaded to Flickr this one was over 19,000 wide.
Might be worth a click on the image once in Flickr.

The interesting thing though is that I thought I grabbed the 551.8 but I grabbed the 50/2.8 Macro before leaving the cabin ha!

Thanks Robert, I went out today specifically to shoot with the 200 F2, it's a beast to carry around but the output is so nice I forget how awkward it can be to use, shot a ton of images today with it.

a7rIV should be here this week.

I think after I add the Tamron 70-180 next year, my kit will be done for good. I should have all the bases I need covered by then.

Compact 35 for family stuff (FE 35 f1.8).

35-85 combo for weddings, portraits, and events (Sigma 35 f1.2 and 85GM)

Compact UWA (Tamron 17-28 f2.8)

General Purpose telephoto Zoom (Tamron 70-180)

So you’re keeping both the Sony 35mm and the F/1.2 Art?

I was tempted to do this with my 35mm Art and the Sony but I don’t do paid work and have no plans on doing so, for portraits anyways, so couldn’t justify.

Been without power since I got home from this outing due to crazy hot wind and fire. Finally able to process a few today. Colusa NWR in Northern California with the Riv.

Peak design bags are expensive, but man theyre serious about this lifetime warranty. I use my everyday messenger as a work bag now. .. Zipper on the laptop compartment broke. I submitted a warranty claim with photos and they sent a shipping notification for a new bag right away.

The bag is over 3 years old.

Good to know! I love my Peak messenger. I carry it daily.

Glad you will be done. Nobody has ever claimed that here before. Lol

Great detail and beautiful fall colors. I half expected to see a rabbit peeking around one of the trees when viewed large on your Flickr page.

Since 6144px on the long side is the max on Flickr now, I usually resize large images to that number before uploading so I have control over the resizing.

Thanks Travis. I'm really trying to sort these little things before hand!

Awesome! I usually regret something after a MW shoot.... Number of shots, composition, foreground....

That is one lovely scene. Touch of autumn colour is great.
