Douglas L: Those are killer shots of the planes shot at slow shutter speeds to blur the propellers and smoke! The bi-plane shot is amazing.

Indeed…no one wants to see unblurred plane or helicopter blades, as that gives the impression that they are falling out of the sky.
Beautiful Kiloran bay in the Inner Hebrides. Beautiful except for the sad remains of avian flu victims at the high water mark. Mostly guillemot I think.
Loxia 21 for first shot and Voigtländer 65mm F/2 Macro Apo-Lanthar for the second.
FE 55. I love the ancient ones, but some of the new breed of chortens ('stupas' in other parts of Asia) are not half bad either. Scale can be seen from the guard rail above the round bumpa and below the spire base.
Looking at a portion of the front of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore often called the "Duomo" due to its red dome.
Hand Held, relying on Camera IBIS, A1 and Voigtlander 50mm f2 Apo-Lanthar Asph, FE mount lens; silent shutter.
ISO 100, f5.6, 1/250 second.
Exposure Corrected +0.09 Stops.

At the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (the "Duomo" ) Firenze (Florence), Italy.
I was cleaning my photo storage drives when I found a directory with files I had never touched from 5 1/2 years ago from a trip to Peru. Machu Picchu shot on an A7RII with GM 16-35mm f2.8 at 24mm.
Looking at a wading Great Egret in breeding plumage and reflection.
Cropped from all sides but the bottom, tripod mounted 100-400mm GM set to 118mm and A7rIII; silent shutter.
ISO 100, f5.0 1/1000 second.
Exposure Corrected +0.70 Stops.

At Gatorland, Orlando or Kissimmee, FL.
Assidentaly found few photos of my ex-wife and me from our first trip to CapeTown, South Africa.
Second photo - my first experience of windsurfing through 4 meters waves and first front loop with 7 meters amplitude.
CapeTown is still my favorite place on the globe. Mothercity, I love you!
