James, the IR processing is excellent. Great photographs!

Tower of Pisa, construction began in 1172 and the bell tower was added in 1372. It narrowly escaped allied artillery fire during WWII, it was suspected of being used by the Nazis as an observation post.

Along the way, the wood carving caught my eye. Terrific craftsmanship but in need of some care.





After a long trek, one last turn and there it is. Its sudden appearance caught me off guard, a show stopper.




The tilt is 5.5 degrees and has a slight bend. The columns on one side are of different lengths to counter the weigh.

Thank you, Morten.

Silver Efex did a good job of cutting through the smoke & haze from the nearby wildfire. The first could have been much clearer but decided to leave the color version alone.

Terrific photographs of the muscle engines with the 50/1.2. Wow, a Boss 302, that was an awesome small block powerhouse back in its day.

The last fisheye shot makes the tower look vertical and the world is tilted. Really like it, and getting to see all these wonderful places you travel.

I think we call that being "photo bombed", and yes, these are special!

She has a special connection to Charlie - whom she calls "Cha Heee". She ignores him just the perfect amount - which is key to driving a cat crazy about you.

James, thanks and I thought the same. I will post others with the 28/2.8 with a tad less curvature.

I was hesitant to use the 16/3.5 to photograph the Tower given the distortions. As I was waiting for the Sun to sneak behind the Tower, decided to try the super flare resistant fisheye.

Glad to share the photos.

BlueAngelTow by Maryland Photos, on Flickr
Blue Angel being towed away at Martin State Airport yesterday. After a whole lot of apparent disarray with the Blue Angels, the RAF Red Arrows saved the day (at least the morning). They took off without any hitch.

Martin State Airport in Middle River, Maryland was the base for the both the Blue Angels and Red Arrows for the weekend's airshow event.

Some great shots again on this page !

Love that last shot of the tower Serge, leaning or not ! The sunstar and B&W were perfect choices.

I have the 16/3.5 but it is really tight to mount even with adapter on the Zf for some reason (it's pre-ai)
and i do mount it I cant change the aperture.

Nice car (and bike) details Morten, I like to focus on those too rather than the whole cars.

Samy, good to see you back, my grandparents lived quite near to Liverpool Airport and I recall one summer the Red Arrows flying low over the house over and over one sunny Saturday while we were all out in the back garden.
