I was up in the blue hills over the weekend and managed to catch up with MrDarcy, I'm sure he enjoyed the walk down into the valley and up again. We visited Empress Falls and the two little cascades that are just below. However I was using my Sony A7 + LA-EA4 combination testing my newly arrived Minolta AF 17-35mm f/2.8-4D. It appears to front focus slightly but I suspect I have the right micro-adjust dialed in now, other than that there were no real complaints about IQ.

I like the compositions and colours in your pictures. They convey feelings of peace and serenity as this type of scenery can. Well done!

I suspected you would. I have been reminded of the walk as well, but nothing to keep me from my daily routine. Hope you feel better soon

Love that second one Cameron, come to think of it, the last time I was there was with Greg, yourself and other members :)

Whilst the first is nice, its gloss is taken away by the sheer number of images I have seen of it, hence I think to get some thing to go wow at you need to really jazz it up somehow (i don't actually know myself:) )
