david strachan Posted August 15, 2017 Share #683 Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) That's lovely Dee. Always love your river pictures. Particularly the spikes against the reflection, on this. Lasr few have been with your 21mm. I've got a vc 21 but dont like it much Wish I had a SEM...all best to you. ...

platypus Posted August 15, 2017 Share #684 Posted August 15, 2017 Hi Dave, thanks, I'm glad you like the shot, it's rather a study in simplicity. I bought the 21SEM second hand back in May from the Camera Exchange in Melbourne. Being slightly on the slow side it isn't an expensive lens but it is an absolute joy. Actually I had stopped buying lenses, but.....you know how it goes. MarkP is responsible.....his beautiful images made with his 21SEM completely eroded my will to resist. You could think about it..... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridtjof Posted August 15, 2017 Share #685 Posted August 15, 2017 John, what a great pleasure to have you stumble upon this thread and add your beautiful image, a wind-whipped sky echoing the foreground rocks and the distant hills drawing the eye. Also may I thank you for the infusion of new blood here (this thread) which is most welcome....please keep posting Thanks Dee! It's a good part of the world. Two things stand out to me: Clouds are much more interesting than a blank sky. Like a good movie soundtrack they add a lot. This is a good web site for clouds. I've always been wary of shooting from plane windows (reflections, flare, haze etc) but MarkP has it nailed by the look of things. No more putting the camera in the overhead locker. On the last long haul flight I did over Central Asia, a truly amazing landscape, I successfully convinced the flight attendants that I suffer from claustrophobia and they allowed me to keep the shutter partly up during the day! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkP is responsible.....his beautiful images made with his 21SEM completely eroded my will to resist. My wife would call me a saboteur. But aren't you glad you succumbed?

Thanks :-) Somewhere over far-Notherrn Queensland M240, 1.4/50 Summilux ASPH Lucky I had my camera bag at my feet. Moments after I took this the sun dropped below the clouds and the whole scene went soft blue grey. Welcome, dear visitor!

You could think about it..... This is one lens that you won't regret buying. I have owned or used a lot of 20/21mm lenses and the SEM is the best by far. I'm certain that you will enjoy using it.

erl Posted August 15, 2017 Share #691 Posted August 15, 2017 Hi Dan, it's strange to see 'my territory' in the hands of someone else. That beach is where I walk Jupiter most mornings. Your pic of the Murray Sunset National Park inspires me to post some images from our fabulous trip up there. Maybe in a day or two. Busy doing some kitchen renovations at present.

pgk Posted August 16, 2017 Share #693 Posted August 16, 2017 Granite boulders, dappled sunlight and ferns - Myanba creek on the coastal escarpment of the Monaro. That has a very old style Hollywood film feel about it. A 'romantic' sort of jungle feel which I do rather like. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

erl Posted August 17, 2017 Share #695 Posted August 17, 2017 Haven't posted here for awhile. (So much to do, so little time!) Anyway, these pics are from the post Australsian Leica One Challenge outback tour. Pink Lakes, Murray Sunset National Park, Victoria (Australia). Historically, they supplied pink salt which was gathered as a result of natural evaporation of the lakes. Walking on the salt pans leaves your footprints full of water. M10 + 75/2 cron.

platypus Posted August 29, 2017 Share #699 Posted August 29, 2017 The beautifully named Our Lady Star of the Sea church at Dalgety, NSW., is far from the sea. A tiny, stone church built in 1878, with two chunky, buttressed and crenellated towers on either end, it sits on it's hill high above the iconic Snowy river with a panoramic view of the Kosciuszko main range.
