Just to kick this week off.
I still need to finish processing photos from a trip to see family out west. But a friend asked about the Rokinon 14 f/2.8 and night/starscapes. Here was the example I had from the Palouse region in Idaho taken this past July.

Portrait - Carver of Bears
This guy was carving bears out of wood during a the Boy Scout Jubilee I attended this past weekend. He does some amazing work with this chainsaw.

Landscape - Illuminations
Took this with the EOS M and the Rokinon 8mm fisheye. I forgot my tripod so it was resting on my shoulder for the 1.5 sec exposure.

I had family out last weekend to check out fall foliage in New England. So, I spent three days driving around the state looking for the best foliage. So far, I've only processed through Saturday. It is probably from one of the more popular views in New Hampshire. There is a small road right off of Rt 16 that provides excellent views of Chocorua Lake with Mount Chocorua in the background.
Canon 5DIII 24-70 II @24 mm, 1 sec, f/9, ISO 100 with 6 Stop B+W ND filter

did not see anything!
Lately I haven't been very active neither with my camera nor in the forum (mainly because of bathroom renovation), but the other day I spent an hour around sunset at a nearby lake.

And the winners are...
Landscape
There were a lot of really great landscapes this week. I like the use of leading lines in this one as well as the colors. Being an Iowa boy, I'm probably somewhat partial to the rural landscape too.

Oh thank you! :)
I'm struggling a bit to find a nice place for the ultra-wide-angle but that seems to be the only one that i really like - i shooted at least 10-12 other places in the country near my home but nothing suits well for the u-w-a, except that one.
I will hunt againt for the next weeks!
