"Manual"
Photo shot on local trails with a friend of mine. I was trying out action photography - quite happy with one.
Was done with my APS-C camera and I switched to a FF soon after that. More photos are to come.
Any feedback is welcome!

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.

dope!
I really dig it. I think the contrast between background and the subject really makes the subject pop. You have enough motion blur to create the feeling of speed. You caught the manual at a great time. (It always helps when your buddy knows how to, good on him). The only thing could nit pick on is the composition seems slightly off. It’s not terrible by any means. But with the slope of the ground, I’m curious to see what the subject would look like more towards the middle of the photograph. Great job man! You should be proud of this one.
Thanks Rob! Was my second try (and rather first real try) on this kind of pictures. Great to hear such a kind feedback.
Yes - composition was quite hard on this one, but next time I shoot I will definitely try to move him more towards the middle :)
