Very nice shot, Barry, in all three versions. But what is Blencomo? A place in Wales – or a method of post-processing??

Re: Fun with the Sony A7 Series Cameras( all of them)
In a nutshell, I wanted more control of tonal seperation of colours, when it dawned on me why not just blend on one layer or more a seperate copy image made in BW (or toned BW or IR)...Typically In a program like SILVER EFEX PRO 2 or ALIEN SKIN EXPOSURE.
Then fade the top BW image layers opacity (burning/dodging or erasing different parts of those layer/s to taste). It can be a bit like playing 3D chess at times
Now flatten off the muted colour image then resaturate the image back again with vibrance/saturation to taste.
I wrote a little about it earlier within this thread http://www.getdpi.com/forum/sony/50257-fun-sony-a7-series-cameras-all-them-146.html#post674453

Many thanks Kirk, "BLENCOMO" is just an abreviation I coined for BLENded COlour with MOnotone technique.

Pouring rain and rainbow over Monthey (a small city dominated by the chemical industry)
This was shot in October 1996 with a Contax G2. The pano is made of two Fujichrome slides digitized with the Sony A7r2 and 90mm F2.8 macro.

End of the line for rainbow trout that run up Cayuga Lake's tributary streams this time of year to spawn. Most of the streams have impassible falls a few miles upstream from the lake. This is a road ford across Enfield Creek about 3 miles from the lake and less than a mile from the deep gorge upstream with even higher falls. A7r + Contax N 24-85 with Fringer AF adapter.

I'm in Houston at the moment.
Went to the Houston Museum of Art.
The featured exhibit is Sculpture in Steel.
It features cars and a couple of motorcycles from the Art Deco Period.
Lots of outstanding examples. Here is one. I shot a large number of images so I can create a gallery on my CarART website and possible do some other interesting things.

Beautiful coloration of the rock isn't something you see everyday and the small/smooth pebbles at the base would be worth taking a few close-ups as well. Thanks for posting.

Here she is looking alot like the M9 with 50 cron:

Re: Fun with the Sony A7 Series Cameras( all of them)
I once showed a broadly similar shot to my resident art critic (i.e. the other half), attempting to present it as 'Art'. I'll go no further than to say that she had a somewhat different view, and I was left to lick some painful 'artistic wounds'...!
Great shots, as usual, Barry. I did chuckle to myself at the gabion wall shot. I recall you saying on here that you are/were in civil engineering, and having been in the same line myself (now retired, and glad to be out of it!), I sometimes suffer from the same 'affliction'.
