Beautiful images Serge.
Thank you, Leighton.
Antinori is an amazing place for photographic opportunities and will post others once I have finished processing them.

You actually can say that about most of Italy. It is certainly one of my favorite countries to visit. I spent a month there in 1975 carrying a Nikkormat and a few Soligor lenses. I was in Urbino when I realized I was more focused on taking photos than on actually being with what I was seeing. I put my camera away and began seriously journaling. I didn't use my camera again. I spent a few weeks in Florence, traveled to Siena, Pisa, San Gimignano. Looking back, I wish I'd been able to do both... to be with all the amazing scenes AND to have taken photos. What I did instead, was I bought post cards everywhere I visited. Alas, my large collection of books and postcards was tossed decades later. I don't think I would have been quite as casual about slides or photographs I'd taken. I still have slides from my 2 month trip to Greece in 1969.
The photography bug caught me again in 2004 and the rest is history. Keep the photos from Italy coming Serge. I'm enjoying them greatly.
Curtis, I am with you on Italy, it is my favorite country to photograph. I have posted quite a few photographs of Italian cities and towns on the forum over the past several years. I do pend much of our time there smelling the roses but cannot resist the amazing photographic opportunities the country has to offer.
I will do my best. I have a quite few photographs that need to be tweaked. I love photography but not so keen on the computer time that is required afterwards.
Speaking of Nikkormat, I recently added a pristine EL with a mint 5.8cm f/1.4 attached. The camera is a joy to operate and built like an anvil, far sturdier than the Fe that followed.
