So happy that the ice-skating season is here again. The ice was perfect today except that an extremely thin layer of snow arrived last night and ruined the reflections for photography...

After so many pages, I'm back!
I've spent two full weeks to US visiting California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona. Thanks to my two Jedi Masters Joshua & Bobby ("bobbytan" here on FM) and our friend Luz, I saw wonderful places and I spent funny days with them. I had also the opportunity to meet Nadim ("puckman" here) for a short photo session in Death Valley. Has been an amazing experience... I'm eternally grateful to Bobby, Joshua and Luz (in alphabetical order) for their availability and support during this trip... in the end I realized I have to start to plan next trip to US so guys, you are warned Yours Mario
I start to post pictures taken at Yosemite Park. This has been the very welcome we received the first day:
^^ Great images, Mario, uh, Manuel . I can't wait to see more of your images. So, how many images did you take on your visit again? It will probably last what a year or two of posting 2-3 images on a daily basis, I would say .

Thanks Joshua... near 3500 so I have material for at least a year
Great places to visit Manuel. And great images.
Yosemite is always worth visiting, no matter the season or weather.
Next time you are in this neck of the woods, consider a side trip to New Mexico, the "Land of Enchantment".
Yesterday's sunset over the Scripps Memorial Pier at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, California. Not a bad place to work
I have been toying around with post processing in the Macphun apps. This image is a five exposure blend from Capture One to Macphun Aurora 2017 to Macphun Luminar.
Very impressed pictures Dave
Welcome back Manuel and looking forward to your shots( Great frist set )
It had been so nice to meet you forums buddies on such a trip
Helena: Wonderful lightning in that series on the previous page.
Werner: Excellent use of the 10mm f5.6.
Bob: Please stop posting those ZM shots with those beautiful sunstars . I might have to consider this damn lens after all.
