David, I really enjoyed your 5 shots from Italy on the last page. Wonderful clarity and color!
Thanks Bill.... it's a very picturesque country and the region has been on my bucket list for many years. It was nice to finally get there! FYI, here are a few more... the places and names are described on my Flickr site....
DSC2346 has me wondering just how they get those boats in the water? Do they toss them over the edge and hope gravity is weak at that moment? What looks like a 30 foot (10 meter) drop seems a bit much for relying on weak gravity that day.

If you follow the cement that the boats are on towards the bottom of the image, then to the right, it drops down to the water at the boat launch..... thanks for looking!
While I'm at it... might as well post a few more from Northern Italy...
Here is a portrait from yesterday. This was my first time using a 40” diffuser over the subject at an angle similar to a soft box that I normally would use. I think I did well on this, many complements on it. I used my Nikon D850 with the Nikon 105mm f/1.4 @ f/1.4. I probably could have used f/2.8 but I was playing with the wide open thing that most are doing now. I suppose there is a time and place for wide open, it seems to have worked ok here. I like the soft light from the diffuser. It was about 18” above here head. She has beautiful eyes!
