Late spring in Hood River - send me a message next time you are in Oregon and we can go out shooting together!

You were there before all the other people and tripods started showing up - stunning image sir!

When Zeiss says "It's apochromatic" they really can back it up. Difficult to find a better resolving 135mm.

Yes the D850 sensor and Zeiss glass are nearly perfect partners - this was literally the 200th image taken with the new body! I will repost it in 4K for you

Hand held - the D850 has an amazing sensor and when coupled with a Zeiss lens it is probably as good as full frame can get. This is literally the 15th image taken with the new D850 for me.

No star filter - When it is stopped down to 5.6 or higher the Zeiss 28mm delivers the 9 pointed stars naturally. Thanks for your question!

Johnlarson - Thank you for taking a look and commenting. It was 10 days of trekking to get up to the Annapurna Base Camp. Most of the trek is through beautiful tropical and sub-tropical forest until you reach 2500 meters then it turns into Alpine terrain without trees. This small village with its tea houses is typical along this route.

I am really enjoying your compositions of iron and organic elements - fascinating use of found objects!!

I really like your use of the fog in this image - well done sir!

Thank you Steve - it's been awhile since I captured the original image and I ran it through a new filter package in CS6 - not quite as advanced/sophisticated as the tone mapping you are using however. Thanks for the nice compliment!

Camjones - the D800e platform has large megapixel sensor and when coupled with Zeiss glass it can deliver images that approach larger medium format equipment such as Hasselblad - I have found that the dynamic range of the camera is as or perhaps more important that absolute sensor megapixel size. The D800e has superb dynamic range that allows for incredible flexibility in high contrast settings like high key mountains and dark shadows in the forests. Thanks for taking a look at my work!

I like the atmosphere !

This images demonstrates the ability of the 135mm APO to exceed the Nikon D800e sensor resolution even with marine haze. Perhaps at some point camera sensor technology will catch-up with the optical capacity of this lens. Zoom in to see how this lens resolves fine detail beyond what the sensor can deliver.

Nice image and a very challenging shooting situation with the extremes between the shadow and highlights !
