Back from the Australian Outback, with a good internet connection.

Here's Uluru, aka Ayer's Rock:

very cool shot, Lenny.

It was a dark and stormy day - - - at the office today, so I captured it!

Interesting office.

It's the view I see outside my office window (although I did take this photo from the upper floor of our parking garage)! For this one, I used my 90mm macro, 15-stop ND filter, f/16 for a 4 min exposure time.

Now that you have had the A7R III for awhile, how do you like it as a wildlife camera? In the next couple of weeks, I want to pick up either the new A7 III or the A7R III. Since I take mostly macro, wildlife and landscape photos, I think the image quality and the cropping ability of the A7R III outweighs the better AF coverage and frame rate of the A7 III?

I see that you enjoy a challenge. I'd just shoot the clouds out my window and be done; OTOH, you go 15-stops, f/16 and 5-minutes.

I've got both the a9 and the a7RIII. Going between them, I don't miss the added AF coverage of the a9, so I don't thing that's a strong reason to go for the a7III. The dynamic range and resolution of the a7RIII make it my go-to body. Only for fast birds-in-flight do I really feel the need to go with the a9. 10-fps really does the trick for most shooting, but there are occasionally times where only 20-fps will do.

For an upcoming Camera Club competition we are expected to 'scavenge' through our old files to find images that fit certain themes.
Although this one doesn't fit any of the themes, I found it whilst 'scavenging'. It has never been processed before, has been buried in my computer for a few years, but I quite like it and wonder why I never processed it !

Eilean Donan Castle - A September Sunset

Nothing like a good scavenge now and again !

Well, you're probably now much better at processing. This is such a winner that it was waiting on you to be able to do it justice. Great shot Alan.

This time of year, Drakes beach belongs to the elephant seals. There are two napping up against the cliff in this shot. I can't walk on sand (crutches), so I had my buddy get this shot with my RX10MIV
