      Thanks Kurt.

      Re the 30mm: I love it!

      Think about the 35mm, add some minor weight, size and distortion and you have it. But you could ignore the last point as you have your lens profile in LR.

      For me it is the Wide-angle focal length to go. I do need nothing with a greater FOV. In other words: I am pretty happy. :rolleyes:

      Nice. Seeing as how I only got to use the 30mm off a small balcony in NYC, your image really makes me want to go out for a “real” test. Hopefully, Leica will ramp up production soon.

      It’s a beautiful shot Pete…well done, and the colors are fabulous. Also like the way the clouds over the mountains add some balance to the image. If it were mine I’d probably clone out the black wire… but I realize that’s a matter of individual taste and philosophy.

      Thanks. Re the wire: I thought about it but CS5s Content Aware wasn’t able to do it quickly so I decided to leave it as is but in general I agree. 😉

      Thanks. The church is in New Zealand, South Island at Lake Tekapo. It is THE tourist spot in this area and it was pure luck, after finding the right spot during the day, to come back later that day and after another one to two hours of waiting I got the church without any human being. 😉

      The Good Shepherd imagery hits differently when you’ve actually felt lost and found your way back. I remember going through a really directionless stretch a few years ago – drifting between communities, nothing quite sticking. A coworker mentioned Psalm 23 almost offhand, and something about “”He restores my soul”” just sat with me for weeks. Started looking for a place where that kind of message was actually lived out, not just recited. Eventually landed on find a church in Prescott AZ and what struck me was how unpretentious it felt. No fluff, just people genuinely engaged with scripture and each other. Exactly the kind of shepherd-and-flock energy that phrase carries. If the Church of the Good Shepherd tradition resonates with you, I think you find echoes of it wherever people are seriously committed to the Word and the community around it.
      What draws you to that particular name or tradition? Curious if it’s theological or more personal.
