Yes, it is the lack of realism that makes this shot interesting to me. Makes me want to experiment more.

Not taken with an APSC camera but the Sony RX100iii. The kitten in the cage just got back from the vet with a plate, screws and wires on the inside of her rear right leg. That's a $3200 leg. The collar cone is to prevent her from licking the stitches. The black cat just met her new sister and was very suspicious. The white cat is a stray that I found under a bush. She had a severely broken leg. Her name is Abigail.

They are like family.This will be my shot of 2017. It was on his 13th birthday back in May. He died suddenly a week ago today.
Sitting on my wife's nearly-finished jigsaw, gives a splash of colour under his grey-and-white fur. I liked this shot a lot when I took it but it means more now.

While the copyright says 2017, I shot that in 2016. Glad you liked it, though.If you ask me, I prefer this one:

Hi Daniel,
I just got my new Batis 85 at the time after thinking about it long and hard (now I feel jibbed knowing that Sony came out the FE85 a few months after I got the Batis). That late afternoon, I decided to take my daughters out to a local park (and decided to take my new lens with me). I didn't know what I was going to shoot. When we got there, we saw the field being completely covered with the fallen leaves. My daughters immediately got excited and started running around in the leaves (mom would definitely disapprove if she saw it, so lucky that she was not there

Nice picture, very different of what you usually share. It seems that the 85mm force you to change your style.
Do you use it often?
Thanks,
Tomi

This may not be my best picture as far as IQ but I still love the shot. How do you guard a 7’ 3” unicorn? He was being guarded by two seven footers and another player. They had nothing for him. The Bulls still won though.

It was hard to pick one but I finally decided on this one because I never expected to be there that day. I wanted to take the F train to Brooklyn Bridge Park and take shots from there on this snowy day (the first of the season). Checked the MTA subway schedule to see if the F train was being rerouted, etc. nothing there .. so good .. no hassle for me .. Got on the train from Queens, rode through most of Manhattan and suddenly this recorded message comes on saying the F line will not go into Brooklyn, terminating at the last stop in Manhattan ... drat .. good thing they announced it 3 or 4 stops before ... so I decided to transfer to the 6 line which ends at City Hall ... and try to walk across Brooklyn Bridge instead .. I had both the A6300 with the Rokinon 12 and the A6000 with the 18-105 ... and the Rx100m2 ... turned out I only used the A6300 with the Rokinon 12 and the RX100M2 .. it was very blustery walking on the Brooklyn Bridge but I stopped to get shots every now and then ... then I came to the spot where I took this shot .. it was a little less windy and I saw this gentleman in front with the umbrella occasionally stopping to take pictures and selfies .. i saw him compose his shot and I decided to move a bit to his right to get more of the bridge and the small number of people walking along it that day .. took like 2 or 3 before he moved on .. so here it is ... a shot that was totally unexpected and also because I really liked the way it came out ...
In the end I ended up walking only part way across the bridge and turned back after reaching the second tower (??) on the Brooklyn side .. it had been years since I was on Brooklyn Bridge in a snow storm .. so I am really glad it turned out great for me that day ..

Very nice, Daniel - great to see you experimenting and trying for something different. (Wish i coul have seen some of the feet, though - but still lovely shot).

I'm having trouble remembering the earlier part of year, but this one taken on Christmas day was the first that sprung to mind for me.
Yes and no. After using it for a year, I found that I really like the 85mm FL. I use it in two different ways. First one is more in line with what I usually do, just plain portraits (posed or candid). I have been able to do close up (head and shoulder) to full body shots with it. The way it renders the background is very pleasing and allows me to create better portraits. The second way is similar to this photo, where I would focus on a smaller aspect, such as legs, hands, feet, a tutu dress, etc.
Yes I do!
Very hard to choose one - I had 6 favourites which I like equally, so I let my wife choose.
"Proposal at La Sagrada Familia"
On closer inspection, the guy down on one knee is taking a selfie
Wish I could have photoshopped out the person on the right side of the photo, however content-aware fill couldn't do a good job here, so I left them in.
HDR hand-held (for detail in the stained glass windows, which are otherwise blown out)
