A few shots from Germany
Just a few interesting details walking around a couple of towns in Germany. In the second one, I was just captured by the setting sunlight in an alley.

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)
For iPhone users - a new version of Bluristic has dropped (v1.8) which offers new features and significant improvements in stability & useability.
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.
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.
I thought I would try out my 50 year old lenses: Canon FD 50mm f/1.5 SSC and Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 on my Canon R5 with the use of the appropriate adapter.
These photos were taken just outside of a small town in central Portugal.
Here are a couple long exposure shots using my original 50 year old Minolta SR-T201 and kit lens shooting Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100 II. Both images were taken just at the end of blue hour.
Hey gang,
Having spent years in Paris, I walk neighborhoods away from the tourist sites looking for shots that are more about this group. These are from this past January.
These are the three images I entered in The Photo Review's 2026 International Photography Competition. I have been entering for the last several years.
In keeping with the Monthly C̶h̶a̶l̶l̶e̶n̶g̶e I wonder if Theme might generate more interest?
The first is a in-city view of the very long 25 de Abril suspension bridge that crosses the bay.
Happy first of May to all!!!
I was going to do a stack of this antique doorknob over a hand held light. But I liked this individual frame because the outer facets were visible but softer
It was mid September late in the afternoon, a group of sailboats were out on the water enjoying the weather, there was a soft breeze blowing, pushing on the sails.
I was just turning over a photo to get a proper look at the floor mosaic and I just thought the resulting photo was pretty cool. (Galleria Umberto I, Naples, Italy)
Some of you may remember my photos using the Minolta SR-T201 using Panatomic-X a couple years ago.
Last Thursday, Susan and I attended a reception for the "All That Jazz" art exhibit outside City Commissioner Rue Landau's office in Philadelphia City Hall.
A sailboat sitting in the water, early foggy morning. The day had not started yet, and it was still blue hour.
We just got back from a week at the beach and as a passenger I like to entertain myself by shooting panoramas.
..in southern Portugal.
The clouds are an extreme blow up. I loved that part of the image and the digital effects of that blowup make it look pretty cool.
With Spring finally hitting Vermont I think that this month's challenge should revolve around the things that are new in our lives.
I have typically held off on developing fundamental guides to ICM on my website.
It's taken a while to get to these. I hope that posting more will get this place back on line.
It seems that now after the latest FStoppers update, the group is getting swamped with spam? It's really getting annoying now!
I case of interest, I have added a new blog entry on my site reflecting on how current trends mirror much earlier shifts in photography techniques.
Hello everyone I saw this yesterday and found it very interesting, food for thought, and thought maybe members here might enjoy a little brain tickling too!!
I think this came out pretty good!
Or does it matter.
My wife was telling me about the "new" photographic editing style - Painterly a couple months ago. You might remember a couple AI conversions I did last month.
