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.

Some general guidelines:
With your D750 shooting at f8-f12 is ideal. Shallow depth of field is rarely a tool used in this industry.
Shoot level or use perspective corrections (Lightroom > Develop > Lens Corrections > Basic > Vertical)
Black and white is typically reserved for iconic architecture or abstraction (minimal depth info)
When starting out, white balance to make sure white walls look white.
Any life (humans, creatures, plants) should be in a supportive/subordinate role to the architecture/space.
There appears to be severe corner softness, chromatic aberration, and lens vignetting in most of these photos. See if Lightroom has a Lens Profile that can improve things, otherwise consider a new lens.
Personal recommendation:
IMO interiors are much harder to master than exteriors. (mixed color temps, minute changes in perspective drastically affect things, and are geometrically more complex) I would recommend doing a photo walk and capture some buildings with simple geometry and work your way up from there. Understanding two-dimensional translations of a 3D space is much easier when you're not inside the object ;) Best of luck!
