Something I had been meaning to do for a while now is take a trip out to the coast, finally made it on Friday and caught a glorious sunset too. This is taken from the dunes on Lifeboat Beach at the Formby National Trust site.

I came upon this temple in Chino Hills CA by accident the morning after a rainstorm.

Thanks. Here's another one, essentially zoomed in, the FA 80-320:

I tend to use PS with telephoto lenses, often using APS-C cameras, and I am able to get more fine detail (assuming the lens is sharp enough). Whether that makes much of a difference in a large print is hard to tell. Of course, you also get a stop more of DR to work with, so there's that as well --- although I haven't made use of that feature all that often. Admittedly, I haven't done much PS this year: just three times all year, because of wind issues and a tendency derived from shooting in the cold of not using a tripod (I'm finding the 5-axis stabilization in the KP and the K-1 quite dependable).

Southbound on Oregon Route 31 on the edge of Summer Lake, where you can see the rain shadow in action. All the clouds keeping western Oregon dark and damp all winter lose their moisture on the ridge bordering the basin, leaving the rest of the state high and dry.

I've been playing with panoramas a bit this past year, so figured I may as well post a few here. This is one of my favourite mountain getaway spots near where I live. It's a bit of a 4x4 trip to get there, so not usually anyone else up there on a week day. There's an old forest fire lookout at the top, and I've spent three nights up there this year.
This first shot was taken at the end of May, and I rode my snowmobile up. I think it was a single row of about 10 vertical shots taken with my SMC A50 f1.7 and K3. I printed it 72" wide for my mother-in-law's birthday gift, and really like the way it turned out.
This one was taken from pretty close to the same spot, but at sunrise instead of mid afternoon. There were a lot of forest fires around here this summer, and the smoke in the air made for some fairly spectacular sunrises and sunsets. I think I used my 16-85 for this one, and it's a two row.
This one is another sunrise panorama from a different trip. I think for this one I did a single row with a M 28mm f2.8 on my K3. The silver shack is the outhouse, and the view from it is spectacular.
This one is looking south from the top of the mountain. The red glowing spots on the horizon are forest fires, while the big orange glow in the middle is the city (population around 95,000) I live near, about 1.5 hours drive away. Both of these were taken with my Rokinon 14mm.
And a vertical panorama to capture the milky way.
This one was at sunset looking west, 2 shots with my Sigma 105 f2.8. Taken the same evening as the night shots above.
These last couple were from my most recent trip up there at the end of Oct. The first one was taken about noon when we got up there, 4 shots I think with my K1 and F35-105 @35mm.
And this one was taken facing west again, late afternoon though. Same lens and camera, this time at 53mm. It was also windy enough and light changing fast enough that I didn't bother with a tripod or anything.
