This is the first shot I post with the 50mm F1.7. No more from the F2 (I gave it back and got this for a cheaper price).

All shot from the hip. The locals understandably did not allow focused photography in the old city market area.

SARDENYA 2024 "Il paese di Petra."
In the Gulf of Asinara, in the extreme northwestern part of Sardinia, there is a tropical beach, one of the most beautiful in Europe and a natural paradise where fine sand and very shallow waters invite you to enjoy a totally relaxing time.
Fine, pure white sand, a transparent seabed, ankle-deep water for tens of metres, turquoise and blue colours of a sea that blends with the sky and a captivating landscape offered by the surrounding towers. The beach of La Pelosa lies between the Capo Falcone sea stacks, theIsola Pianaisland and Asinara, which protect it from the force of the open sea: it is a tropical paradise that will make you feel like you are in a film. This is how tourists from all over the world, after having visited it, define this perfect environment with its natural and historical elements competing with each other.During a holiday in the north of Sardinia, a visit to the iconic beach of Stintino is a must. This beach is universally considered one of the most beautiful in Europe.
Thanks to a natural barrier, the water is always calm, even when the northwesterly mistral wind is blowing hard. The surrounding Mediterranean scrub, particularly the junipers, reminds you that you are in Sardinia, despite the Caribbean appearance. Opposite the beach, there is an islet with an Aragonese tower dating back to 1578. It is the symbol of La Pelosa and you can get to it on foot, after crossing another delightful little cove, that of La Pelosetta, situated next to its 'big sister'. The area is watched over by the ancient Saracen Torre del Falcone (Tower of the Falcon). Opposite it, is the Isola Piana (Flat Island), once a place where livestock grazed and swam to dry land, pulled by large boats. The island is so flat that it does not in any way obstruct the view of the majestic Asinara cliffs that stand tall behind it. You will be able to explore the fascinating and mysterious island-park, where time seems to stand still, by setting out from the tourist port of Stintino or from the pier of Ancora onthe motor vessels or dinghies of authorized operators.
The evocative little village in the Stintino area is approximately five kilometers from the La Pelosa beach and is also connected by shuttle bus services. In the village and along the road leading to the beach, you will find accommodation facilities and restaurants, where you can savour the local delicacies: lobster and tuna roe above all. Fishing and processing of tuna is one of most ancient local traditions, which you can relive in the Museo del Tonnare. In the Stintino territory, you can also relax in other wonderful areasalong the coast, like on the white pebbles and the dazzling colours of the sea of the extremely long beach of Saline.
We've all shot it , the image that goes begging but you know it's been done over and over and finally you just do it. This is one of those shots for me in Adelaide. Now that Ive done it I'm happy and I can look at it when I pass it by and look away without guilt.

St Peter’s Square, Manchester
Everyone’s favourite tram stop in Manchester… Geoff’s turn.
A few coming from the Manchester meet-up with Brad and Barb – over from the USA back in May 2024.
The last in the series of sunset shots in Perth City. Shots all hand held taken from the Rooftop Bar at the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA). The weather and colours were fabulous and the vibe in the bar was trendy and laid back. All shots used the Ethereal filter (Urth) to give a little cinematic twist to the shots.
One of my attempts at the "Macro Monday" theme "Zed".
Two different grains of salt, the big one being sea salt, the other one alpine table salt! The big one is about 3 mm in size and though it is a giant compared to the small one... I really liked how it puts things into perspective! Everything is relative after all!
Shot with a "Tomioka-Copal 71 mm F 4" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.

I believe the cranes here are part of the construction of the new Edith Cowan University campus in the city.
All shot from the hip. The locals understandably did not allow focused photography in the old city market area.

#Velociraptor at @zoomiami The name Velociraptor means ‘swift seizer’. Velociraptor lived in the late Cretaceous Period (around 73 million years ago). The Velociraptor played a large role in the Jurassic Park movies but was often shown inaccurately. Rather than being a larger, human sized dinosaur, the Velociraptor was around the size of a Turkey. It is also believed to have had feathers that were not shown in the movie portrayal.
A fully grown Velociraptor could grow up to 2m (6.6ft) in length, 0.5m (1.6ft) in height at the hip and weigh up to 15kg (33lb). The Velociraptor is thought to have killed its prey with sickle shaped claws on its rear feet.
The first known Velociraptor fossil was found in the Mongolian Gobi Desert in 1922.
One of the most famous dinosaur fossils ever found features a Velociraptor in the middle of battle with a Protoceratops... #wildlife #animal #zoo #zoomiami #nature #photo #photos #pic #pics #TagsForLikes #picture #pictures #snapshot #art #instagood #picoftheday #photooftheday #color #all_shots #exposure #composition #focus #capture #moment
Wagtail. Part of my continuing series with birds on boats, every wildlife image I see is usually a bird on a stick or in what is considered to be the natural habitat of the bird, I have decided to do one with a difference, all the birds in this series are all shot on or about boats.
