Ouch! What happened there, any other damage?

I had to print that for Otis so he can hang it on his big penthouse wall up in the tall oak tree. You tell Hubble he is hanging next to some of the best lookin' naked girls in the world.

He should be honored!

Regards!

& Thanks from Otis!

A landscape shot with the DFA 24-70. Since I see so many wonderful shots in here I ended up liking posts instead of commenting to keep it easier for me and shorter for the thread!

That is a very fine scenic shot!

...and it does make a nice platform for LeRolls young lady to float on too.

I am guilty of doing the "Likes" thing too but we must remember nothing replaces a few words of reply in the open public. Without some interaction we are just a "Viewing Gallery" and interest declines without some feedback.

Best Regards!

Nice clouds and landscape. Interestingly, when I saw you posted that you used your DFA 24-70, I was 1) jealous and 2) assumed you used it at 24mm to get all that glorious landscape into the frame...

Then for some reason,

I got curious about the actual focal length you used so I clicked Exif info and was chuckling when I saw that you shot it at 63mm, towards the long end of that lens. In a wide open space, a wide lens becomes less necessary than in a cramped space. It is good to remind ourselves these simple truths sometimes, heh heh.
Thanks for sharing,
Eric

You are absolutely right my friend! I'II try to interact more and be less lazy! I once more express my admiration for many superb shots I see in here from the forum members! Great job everybody!

The DFA 24-70/2.8 is a fine all around lens. I'n mot so much into landscapes but there are some opportunities you can't miss and the 24-70 helps with its versatility and high IQ. I prefer to make the picture as good as I can in camera, so instead of going wider and cropping in PP I chose to frame it narrower and have a balanced image and also get rid of distracting elements that were starting to get into the frame if I went wider. This is the original frame without any cropping...

Thank you all for your kind words!

Natalie does quite often have her head in the clouds so I suppose that is fitting.

From this morning's shoot. First time with Olivia. She was great!
