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.

Allen you should share this image with the architectural firm, I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
I love that lens…couldn't do my work without it. Can you share what amount of tilt/shift you used.
The only comment I have is the heavy vignette creeped into the building itself, reducing your shadow detail at the top. Other than that it's a great pic!
Daniel, Thak you so much for taking the time to offer your critique and your kind words! I usually use about 10mm of shift, and believe that is what I did here.
You are very correct, I got a bit heavy handed with the vignette.... I will defiantly fix that. Thank you!
Excellent shot.
The only thing I would have changed is to take a series of exposures to collect passersby in different positions and then layer the files to arrange the walkers without overlaps such as exists that in the lower right.
I agree with Daniel, that you should share the image with the architect. Only if you want to get hired though. ;)
Indy, Thank you very much for your comments and critique!
I did actually comp 4 exposures for the pedestrians, and you are probably right, I could use a few more exposures. The overlapping couple is a good catch, and I will watch out for that next time! Thank you!
