I spent a very pleasant few hours yesterday, putting my new Voigtlander 58mm lens through its paces and taking photos of waves at the beach. I’m not sure there’s anything more chaotic than the ocean on a windy day. And oh yes, I love the lens!

The ocean is so chaotic in its movement. Nice shot!
Thanks!
Great shot! 🙂
Thank you!
A day at shore with you camera when it is windy beats most experiences. I love waves and this image is lovely!
Thank you! The challenge is getting close enough while also keeping dry.
Now that is a real challenge to get home with dry feet 😀
Fantastic shot!
Thank you!
Lovely energy in this shot. Enjoy the new lens!
Thanks! I’m sure I’ll get lots of use out of it.
Wow!
I don´t know if I can do this, but I´ll try. My pic from Twitter: https://twitter.com/JohannaSuomela/medi
No, it was not possible to link a Twitter pic here. What a pity.
I think I found it: “The first of October”? That’s a great shot. 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
Believe it or not, the ocean was the first thing I thought of for the challenge as well. Then, on my way to get the photo I had in mind, I saw my sister and her alcohol inks, and decided to click that instead. 😁
I checked your post — very beautiful!
Oh thank you for the visit! I agree, they’re pretty. ☺
… and I love your capture. Nice shot with your new lens! 🙂
Thank you!
Looks good to me!

Thank you!
Looking forward to more pics with your new lens.
I look forward to taking them! 😉
Hi, Karen. Gorgeous! The Voigtlander is impressive. What camera do you have? I’m debating whether I want to invest in a mirrorless camera. Decisions, decisions.
Thanks! I bought the Voigtlander for my Nikon D750, but I also use a Fuji X-T2 mirrorless which I love. The Fuji system has some really wonderful lenses, and you can also use lenses from other systems via adapter if you don’t mind focussing manually.
I was just pricing the F-T2. I’m thinking of renting one first. Is the Fuji great for travel? That’s what I’m looking for.
It’s great for travel. Compact and light, especially when paired with a small prime lens (23mm f2, 27mm f2.8 pancake, 35mm f2). If you don’t need 24 mp or the best tracking autofocus, the X-T1 is a bargain right now. Renting is a good idea.
I’ll let you know what I end up buying. Thanks, Karen.
It’s always so much fun taking the new equipment out for a spin. Love your results!
Thanks, Paige!
Beautiful photo.
