Hi Tony, must be the CV19 playing up with my Computer. Thank you for your response. I was forgetting you were in GB whilst I am in Tasmania, and so your Geranium does not look like our Geranium, which I grow in large pots around my house. I was also saying that I like you photo very much, very well composed and balanced in the frame. Stay safe

Nice shot well done! I usually opt for a flash rather than a tripod. Seems like wind is usually at least as shaky as my hands. Sometimes natural light does look really nice though.

Thanks for the comment Troy....I have a lot to learn concerning macro...especially lighting...but I definitely need a tripod cause I like to manually focus..don't know why but it just seems sharper

These photos were taken just outside of a small town in central Portugal.

I really enjoy creating something different with drones. I've had the Mavic now for about four weeks and I absolutely love it.

Mixing Film and Night - New for Me

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.
