Athens photos
A few shots from the winter of 2025. The last one was inside of the Acropolis Museum. (Unfortunately, I could get everyone to walk exactly where I wanted them to. hahaha)

Focus Stacking ~ New to Me
I am interested in learning Macro/Closeup photography and understanding that Focus Bracketing is a good part of the process, I thought I would give focus stacking a try.

Vintage Lens
Another visit to our garden using a vintage lens (Canon FD 50mm f/1.4) on my Canon R5. NOTE: With this lens the minimum focusing distance is 18" at which point you have 1/4" depth of field.

David. thanks for taking on such a daunting project. Ok, a project of passion that could be non-stop. I am prior-military; and I know a lot of people who are just plain interested in history in general who either collect or enjoy studying the history of military uniforms or military history.
From the images you have posted here, you are capturing some great images that tell stories. The composition looks great and you are getting a lot of angles that we don't traditionally see. You also have that opportunity being in the military to access that most don't.
Best of luck with the ongoing project, and remember to try to tell a short story with each and every one of your images. Future historians might look at your work one day and be able to tell a lot about the early 21st century military unit(s) you served with or photographed. Make them count!!
Great work, and thank you again for your service.
