Enjoyed the riverside town, Andy. The lack of crowds there looks more like a vacation to me. Regarding the site optimization for mobile, it seems to be all over the place this past week. At times I can't even pinch zoom to view the entire picture, other than go into straight image viewing without the text.
Nice pano David. Good to have you posting here again.
More lights, nothing too special, but it's the only newer stuff I have and it's still slow here. Both 24mm f2.8 AIS

Does anyone else view the site on their phone? Reason I ask is that for the last month the site no longer seems to be optimised for phone use, ie no scaling, have to zoom right in to see text etc. And its very annoying !

Andy when we travel I use the iPhone exclusively so yes, I have the same experience as you. Yesterday I posted a shot that when viewed using a 24” (.6m) monitor displays in a different perspective than the small screen iPhone. Although a nuisance it works while on the road.
David I like your sunset. Must be the time of year for good ones. However, I see your clouds and raise you twenty clouds. Taken the following evening. Sunset was at about 1730hrs EST.
"Rows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons ev'rywhere I've looked at clouds that way........." - I'll play
Living in an arid country there are always two points of view wrt clouds 1st the farmer's and 2nd the golfers. From our South facing deck over the Knysna estuary D200 50 f2 pano and 28mm2.8
Good cloudscapes Ken, David, Peter. That’s a great idea. I was out and about this evening without a camera and glimpsed the most intense red I’ve seen in awhile with a cloud bank over top. Oh well, a mental Kodachrome will have to suffice.
Great tones and love the position of the moon Leighton.

Jay,
shooting wide open brings about a thin DOF. That makes one think about the composition and the decision of what you want crisp and sharp. As seen in the rear shot of the truck the tailgate clearly sharp and the rear window not. Using the red box on the Z6 to focus on your desired area to have sharp focus. The bokeh is unique with the NOCT and taking advantage of it is a challenge.

Haha yes it seems to be ! Although it has to be said, a lot of places have pics of burgers and the like but don't actually sell them, the cow being a sacred animal and all. Most annoying when you end up with a chicken burger and when you point at the pick they just shrug and smile and say "No, is not possible"
The Beatles Ashram is now actually derelict but does have a few signs telling you which buildings they stayed in etc. and does have some amazing art in the form of approved graffiti murals.
There is an exhibition of photos from the photographer who was there at the time Paul Saltzman.
Saltzman was a young Canadian filmmaker travelling in India, camped outside the compound until he was invited in and welcomed into the Beatles' circle
Here's the backstory to the events and subsequent controversy in 68 -
Andy, great photos of the Fab Four, specially Paul.
These are from Rome Termini heading to the track of the speedy Frecciarossa to Florence. The ride takes a whopping 1.5 hours, just enough time for a panini and a bottle of Chianti.
