gently observed and open-hearted, very lovely.  reminiscent of Saul Leiter's beautiful early color work, in both style and color.  beautiful, thanks for sharing

hmm, so, does using some  version of a waterhouse stop in front of the lens differ in results from the traditional ones where the slot for the waterhouse stops are in the lens barrel?  Just ...

thanks so much for sharing - I appreciate the effort of the walk, including carrying all your camping gear and food, not to mention the water - and the photo gear as well - and congratulations on ...

highly entertaining.... for everyone except the brazen bunny....:-)

nice to see that bokeh on the 135MM STF.  I had been wondering about that lens lately....

nice set, Bob!  Beautiful light out on Governor's Island....thanks for sharing!  Stay cool....

I rarely use zooms on my A7r series cameras, but would find this feature useful in a walk-around zoom or travel zoom, in particular.  On the Sony RX 100 III, (when it is not on loan to a family ...

really very fine compositions and lovely colors!  Love the "echo" effect in the one of the oakleaf hydrangea blossoms.  Perhaps a little too  much sharpening on the left flower on the second ...

First portrait - sensitive color processing (as usual!) and style suits this image perfectly. Well done.  Re  the ironworks - they look so interesting!  I do see that a large-format ...

the first poppy (?) is v lovely, and I am impressed by your bee/fly!  Nicely done.

really nice set of Manhattan night photos, Bob!  I think the 55MM is working well for Harlem Meer.

great!  natural pose, beautiful natural light, natural color, cinematic mood.

very fun, Bob.   I fell like I'm flying in these! Manhattan is truly at the edge of the world.  In #2,  I've never seen that d*** middle finger building put to better use.   On all other occasions ...

Yes, very lovely all around!

yes, it's a great image!  It could be processed in a number if different ways, I think , and still be dramatic.  Seems tome that the lighting and jagged rocks make it dramatic without ...

I like forest photos where all you see is the tangel of the forest - they are less conventional and can be very interesting in the right light... something to explore further?

beautifully done, Lou!  you're giving me some ideas....:-)
