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!

for the positive: great focus on the eyes, they really draw my focus. I think the simple grey top goes well with the wall for this headshot.
for improvement: I don't think the decorations in the corner contribute enough to the image. if they were on both sides or if this shot wasn't so close-cropped it would work more. I also think that this would look better with her being centered. Her one shoulder looks blurred, and I can't tell if it's motion blur or an optical illusion, but once I saw it I found it distracting. Lastly, her expression almost looks strained like she's been holding the pose too long.
Thank you very much for CC. I will try to remember that during next photo shoot ;)
Nice, but a little too...deer in headlights, like, she has no expression, like she might be coming after me...like to harm me. Her hair looks disheveled and she looks like she is seeing through me. He face seems a bit flat. Her eyes do look very nice.
So.... "deer in headlights", "no expression" or "like she might be coming after me"... all those in one? Im open for criticism, but it's just don't have sens. You're right about hairs. Little messy
