One of the benefits of living in Okotoks was the ability to hop in the car and take a drive to explore the Rocky Mountain Foothills area south of Calgary. One of my favourite spots was the "Flying E" tree, named after a local ranch. This image is from a series of lens tests I did, comparing various older manual-focus lenses on my then-new Sony A7R mirrorless camera. This image is from a sequence taken with the remarkable little Olympus OM Zuiko 21mm f3.5 MC lens.
The following image was captured a few months earlier, using a Zeiss Contax 21mm f2.8 Distagon lens on the Sony A7R.
