And a final one from the Ligurian coast - 16-35.

I transferred all these from the S1R to my iPad using the lumix app and processed several dozen quickly with LR mobile whilst travelling by road back to Milan. Isn’t technology wonderful !?.

What the photos don’t show is the vast infestation of tourists that plagues this area ..... which are regularly expelled from the cruise ships that dock daily at La Spezia. Trying to take a photo without a maniac wielding a selfie stick in it is a challenge. 

 

Bravo and terrific use of this lens. I’m just returning from a day trip to an island and I had both SL shorter zooms with me, just in case. I ended up always using the 16-35. There is something about the flexibility this focal range affords that makes it the go to lens for tourist landscapes scenes. I’ll post the pictures in the dedicated thread for this lens. It deserves it. BTW, I don’t know if I’ll have anything good to show. Just starting to go through them on the boat. 😁

Just one here from today. The others I'll post in the dedicated Super Mario 16-35 thread. This isn't just the northernmost point in Germany, it's also the northernmost German building. It was actually built by the Danes (one can tell by the colors) in 1857. How did it end up as part of Germany? Well, there was a war,...no, not that one, one that the Germans actually won. 😉

Amazing image quality. But it seems that for such a close portrait this lens needs to be more stop down to avoid blurry nosetips when eyes in focus… 😉

Only, if you're a nose-fetishist ;) (or print large)
These kind of headshots are used for as small versions for social media etc and focus/sharpness of the face is good.

Actually pores on the nose are not needed.  The five o-clock shadow is something some choose and some prefer to make invisible... In this example, the eyes and hairline are sharp and call attention, so I think the focal plane was placed well and the nose treatment is pure Karbe magic. 😁

Male White Rhino (dehorned)  -Zuka Game Reserve South Africa.    Lumix S1R & Leica VE SL 90-280mm 

We've dehorned all of our Rhino in order to reduce the risk to the animals from poachers, who kill them for their horns.

Best,

Mike

So sad that such drastic steps are necessary to protect these awesome animals.  My solution would be that if someone takes a horn he loses an arm.  Take two, he loses two.

Then we will soon be back in a middle age scharia society.
Better would be not support corrupt  regimes in poor countries anymore and support a development to better democracy and economy so that people will have a future income and do not have to commit crime anymore.

It was a joke.

I don’t want to engage in a political discussion here, but I agree with what you wrote.   Still, as long as there is such a lucrative market for those horns there will be poachers regardless of the economy or legitimate sources of income.  Drastic measures will be required to put a stop to it.
