This is a rework from a few years ago. A7RIII + 16-35f4 (the old one) @16mm/f16.
I really liked this one when I first took it, and went as far as having it printed... the print was very disappointing, unfortunately. I've just recently decided to get serious about printing and finally picked up a monitor calibrator. Now I'm thinking I might give this one another shot!
Lovely places, Helena! I haven't been to that part of Greece. We were going to go to Santorini again a few months ago but decided to go to Portugal instead. Santorini is very touristy but a truly beautiful place. Great shots as always.
Sorry for not posting in the chronological sequence since the files were not processed in that sequence either but these are 2 images from the beginning of the memorable hot air balloon ride over Marrakech…

Beautiful light from sunrise and the balloons themselves!

Went to another racing event over the weekend.
A few from the garden today. Strangely, last year the male hummingbirds in my yard were very elusive, I didn't get one single picture of them in good light without messy backgrounds. This year is very different, the females are hiding from me but the prettier males have been cooperative. I am not complaining

Thanks! It was the first time trying that. Funny thing is that for both those shots I got the composition completely wrong.
With some help from Photoshops Generative AI fill I got it to look right again, but only half those shots are 'mine', the rest is done by the computer.

Nice panning, Alan!

Thank you very much, Doug! I am glad you like’m!
Your airshow images are nothing short but amazing! Mighty impressive, I may add!
I admire your dedication. I live in Chicago, and it takes me just 30 minutes to get to the beach to see the air and water show, but it is always so busy and so packed that I ditch the idea every single year. I love your airshow pics though. Maybe this year I will gather enough courage to go there with my 200-600.

Thank you Joshua! FYI, there will be a big airshow at Huntington Beach at the end of Sept, a superb lineup! I wish it was closer to me!
Recently, my wife and I took in a nearby Celtic festival for the day and I carried my old A7RII and my brand new Samyang Tiny Series 75 1.8 to get acquainted with the lens. The Highland Games athletic events were most impressive. I had only seen images of such events but to see these massive competitors in action was quite a sight. My shoulders hurt just watching these guys (and gals) launching very heavy objects into the air for distance. Here are a few shots from the day's action. Steve
