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)
New version of Bluristic available
For iPhone users - a new version of Bluristic has dropped (v1.8) which offers new features and significant improvements in stability & useability.
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.
Austin, Texas Blue Hour
Was down in Austin for a bit on a work trip. I've always heard how beautiful the skyline is from the river.
Was a little let down by the clouds, but what can I do!

Hi Dirk,
Sorry to say, I might be wrong but to me these look like snapshots taken with a fancy camera. No offense here, I've went to similar shows too in my days hoping to have shots of participants.
You should tried to hire one or more to model for you in a more controlled environment. Done it and it worked.
Is it this that you mean, I did .... ;-)
Dirk, I don't want to be mean or anything close but I think you're trying to pull a fast one on me here.
Please, proove me wrong. If you hired her you must have dozens of images from that shoot, post a few?
There's nothing wrong with your images taken with the fuel girls but I still think they're snaphots, well executed but still snapshots.
What they are or are not is only an opinion. Don't worry, you cannot be mean to me. :-)
You're right, good work! Voted 4* on them. Have a nice weekend.
Thank you! :-)
A great weekend to you too!! Have some great shoots!
Thanks for the reaction and taking the time to comment.
Great shots Dirk the first one is a really good snapshot but the second one is much better and cropped capture .....To me anyway : )
Thanks mate!
