Thanks! I always enjoy your pics, I usually make it out West once a year to do some backpacking but I don't think it's likely this year. So at least I can look at the views through pics on the forum.
We had lightning all night, really lit up the inside of the tent. But, for most of the night anyway, overhead was still clear skies. I don't get to see the milky way too often on the East coast!

Here's two taken with the 15mm ltd on the KP (admittedly I'm not experienced with processing astro shots).

Here's a xpost from the 35mm f/2.4 lens club.

A few from the KP, not had much of a chance to get out with it due to nursmaiding my 95 yrs young mother but it seems like it's going to be a great camera...

Great photos and what an amazing landscape. The KP is a fantastic camera

Went for a walk today. For several years I carried a macro lens with me when I hiked, and hardly ever used it. For the second time this week I went hiking and kept wishing I had brought it along.

A couple I took with the DFA 70-210.

I liked the color of this thistle.

After I took the first photo, I noticed the insect (whatever it is).

It was a fun day, I took a wrong turn and drove an extra very scenic 20 miles, got to see what an empty reservoir looks like and took a walk through a forest that had been burned a number of years ago, seeing the slow recovery. There was a carcass of a deer that was only bone and fur - reminded me of college when my art major roommate was sketching a scull for her basic drawing class.
