Paris
Fortunate enough to have a few days in Paris. Family in tow but tripod tolerated so the Big Stopper saw some action to thin the crowds around a few landmarks. Details behind the shots in my profile.
C&C appreciated!

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.

Thanks to those who voted on the photos in this post.
I was surprised at the 1 and 2 star votes but if that's what it is, it's what it is.
Any suggestions on what's brining them down or what I could do to improve them?
Personally, I love them! The subjects are wonderful, as is the framing. The only "problem" is the editing - some blown highlights and a little too much vignette. I used quotes, because in photography everything is subjective - even focus, apparently. I hope you enjoyed your stay!
PS. Love the reflection in the second shot and the silhouette at the bottom!
Photography certainly is subjective - one of the reasons I post as you get different perspectives and can look at your work a different way.
I’ll take a look at the highlights again. Pretty sure some are from harsh reflection (in the table shot) - not sure you can underexpose enough to sort those out without losing shadow detail. Hope my processing didn’t worsen them or introduce clips where there weren’t!
Thanks for taking the time to look and comment. Much appreciated!
