A selection of touristy pics to follow I'm afraid. Where else but San Francisco? All the desert and SF photos taken with my M3. Comments always appreciated.

Beautiful! San Francisco is easily one of my favorite cities. I look forward to seeing more pictures from there.

Thanks! It would be nice to ride in or drive a 356 one day.
That one is 1 of 400 built. My Dad had one in the early sixties.
More SF tourist pics...Comments always appreciated. Whilst cloudless blue sky lends itself to B&W treatment, the aqua colours worked in this one. Comments always appreciated.

Not the best photo, but I'm very pleased with our choisya bushes as this is the first time since planting about 5 years ago that they have flowered properly

Another cactus flower from Mojave.
They call this one Beaver Tail.

I was in Yosemite and San Francisco in February. Went to Yosemite to photograph the Horsetail Fall "Firefall". Unfortunately the Firefall didn't happen this year as it was too cold and the water run-off above El Capitan hadn't started yet. With hindsight, I was happier to get shots with weather other than blue sky and bright light on the peaks - we even had snow on the ground at times.

Fantastic, and I mean fantastic blend of composition and lighting!
Alright.
I am happy to be back to a full frame body after about 2 years, back when I sold my 6D. Been using crop bodies during this period, even for paid jobs (A6000, A6500, 100D).
This time around, my choice is a used A7RII. It's been in my hands since last Saturday, but hadn't had much time experimenting with it photographically. Weirdly, I used it for video at a wedding on Sunday.
I think it is definitely noteworthy to mention that all my lenses felt, and still feel weird frame-wise, and a bit exposure wise too. I have gotten so used to the crop factor frame that I am going through an adjustment period, or withdrawal.
I am trying not to go too heavy on needless clicking as these files are huuuuge. A compressed raw is about 40mb, uncompressed, double that. And as you might have guessed, I am going for uncompressed glories atm.
So, here is a shot from today that gave me a chance to overboost saturation and frankly, I do not hate it. I am also having a blast at the less noise this camera produces.
Ok, I am shutting up.
ps, should have gone for f3,5 or something
a7r2+55mm

That looks alot like one of the desktop pictures on my imac, in fact, i think you have taken it from a very similar aspect to the actual imac picture. That is really nice, you did a good job of getting the reflections, my only criticism, if i may, is the clouds (reflected) at the very bottom of the picture, they are a little fuzzy and dont fit with the sharpness of the rest of the shot. Only a minor criticism (and from an absolutely useless photographer - so they mean nothing!) of an otherwise superb picture.
Nicely done.

I liked the uniform background of this one as well as the little guy all on his own.
Maybe it should be called where did all the flowers go?

Comments always welcome.
The simplicity of this shot is fantastic, i love the blue colour and it really sets off the bee/wasp? It just stands out and has great motion in his wings too.
I have no idea how you managed to capture it flying, i would've been looking through my lens for hours trying to find him, i have trouble spotting birds through the lens, i would have no chance with him.
Really like this one, well done, AFB.

Nice, i've never seen it from that angle, always looked up the alley and never down, nice to see a different view point.

Luck! I also miss quite a few. And this wasn't with my fast glass. A 70-300 3.5-5.6.

You've gone over to the dark side then! Enjoy your new camera. Looking forward to seeing the results.Alright.

Apple would be lucky to have that for a screen saver! Nicely done.

Of course! You know my garden is a post apocalyptic wasteland.
Oh mate I mowed mine today for the first time in a couple of weeks and it was like a jungle. I had to empty the mower hopper every 30 seconds. Plus the dandelions has gone mental and it looked like a rape field at the top of the garden.
A combination of constant rain and feeling unwell meant it had gotten even more out of control than usual. If I didn’t have tortoises I’d put artificial grass down in a heartbeat.
Did mine the other week and had to avoid the frogs living in their. We don't even have a pond.

Well done MacRy with nice light. I love the punchy colours against the dark background.
Thanks for the feedback keyrex...always appreciated. Upon reflection
, I see what you mean. I believe what you're referring to is a result of the long exposure of 15 sec to smooth the flowing water in the river.Thanks AFB. I have a few more of the classic Yosemite shots that I was really happy to get and that I'll post. Last and only other time I was there was bright sun with cloudless sky during the entire stay.
