thanks for the input - I'm the same out here in California - we are in a 10 year draught

I love macro - just don't do enough of it!. Can't wait to try a lot of the new features in the a7RV!

Welcome the the Sony Forum Community Armandex. Very nice images - broad range of interests which is awesome. Can't wait to see more of your work!

These are really cool images Patrick... the act of creating is what really winds me up and stepping outside my boundaries pushes me to have even more fun - thanks for the reminder 🙂

For me, it is the Sony RX100VI

My wife Beri and I are currently staying on a beautiful farm about 2 hours north of San Francisco. I have had a blast photographing our foggy mornings. Do you like creating images in the fog?

Ah - that used to be me so I can totally relate Kevin. I photographed Major League Baseball for 26 years - I miss it!

I admire you Monica - people are the hardest for me unless it is action 🙂

These images are beautiful... Fog hides and reveals and you have used its mysterious nature excellently

I think fall color is one of my favorite genres to photograph... either that or I am officially an old guy 😉

Ah - a throwback for sure. In all honesty Drew - trashbags are still my go to for most rainy day shoots!

I never tire of photographing waterfalls. I was recently leading a workshop in the Scottish Highlands with my partner Ron Modra and we captured the beauty and grace of Sligachan Falls on the Isle of Skye...

My Sony 200-600mm + 1.4 and 2x extenders. Also the Sony 400mm f/2.8 + 2x (great combination)!

Some really nice images here Damian - love the pan - you nailed it!

Sorry I missed your class Tony - did not see it!

Hey everyone, what is your favorite time of day to photograph the landscape? I just returned from teaching a fall in Scottish Highlands workshop with my wife Beri and my partner Ron Modra. We had plenty of overcast which for me is a green light to photograph all day - most days we did! Would love to hear from you...

That is a great one - I used something similar back in my NFL days Kevin. What about for shorter glass like a 24-70mm GM or a 12-24mm? Any recommendations?

Once I size the print, I visually check it so it is not over-sharpened. The Sony a1 files are so sharp that oftentimes I leave well enough alone. If not, I use Topaz Sharpener AI on a separate layer in PS and mask out anything that should be soft like water and skies.

I am currently in the middle of Ron Modra and my Scottish Highlands workshop. Sadly we had a participant get Covid and I have been sidelined with a stomach flu bug. Ah - the joys of traveling. What we have been lucky with has been the weather... though here in Scotland, one minute it is dry and the next it is pouring rain. I try to maintain a simple approach to keeping my gear dry. I use a towel, shammy and microfiber clothes. I have tried every cover known to man and all are a pain. I also carry a compact Repel Umbrella - not to keep me dry but my gear, What are your methods? Could be a great discussion here... Here is an image of Sligachan Cascades on the Isle of Skye prior to a cloudburst.

Tough to beat Drew - something about it gets in your soul.

Finally made it to Norway last March Matt - Lofoton Islands - going back again in March 2023 - incredibly beautiful place.

I may have to agree with you Gary - NZ is pretty amazing!

They are all beautiful!

Looks beautiful

On my bucket list Tony
