The amazing Las Vegas Strip in all it's glitzy glory... This iconic scene is located directly across from The Mirage. A cool thing about this shot is that I managed to shoot it with nary a car in sight. On the busy strip, that in itself is a miracle. :P

Conwy, North Wales.
Conwy Coordinates..53.28°N 3.83°W
Conwy previously known in English as Conway, is a walled market town and community in Conwy County Borough on the north coast of Wales. The town, which faces Deganwy across the River Conwy, formerly lay in Gwynedd and prior to that in Caernarfonshire. The community, which includes Deganwy and Llandudno Junction, had a population of 14,753 at the 2011 census. and is a popular tourist destination. The size of the resident population in Conwy County Borough on 30 June 2015 was estimated to be 116,200 people. The town itself has a population of 4,065.
Economy..
The county has a mixed economy. An important part of the economy is based on tourism: many visitors are attracted by the many beaches and the mountains. A significant part of the county lies within the Snowdonia National Park, which extends from the north coast down to the district of Meirionnydd in the south. But tourism provides seasonal employment and thus there is a shortage of jobs in the winter.
Agriculture is less important than in the past, especially in terms of the number of people who earn their living on the land, but it remains an important element of the economy.
The most important of the traditional industries is the slate industry, but these days only a small percentage of workers earn their living in the slate quarries.

I have been outdoors with the very old russian prime lens Tair 11A. My lens must be from the very early Production back in 1965 because of its unique Serial Number ! This thing is over 50 Years old and still works like a charm. Build like an russian tank - build for the eternity :)

I like fun words like this. The ride is also fun.
While photowalking at Marina Bay, Singapore, I was surprised to come across a carnival.
It had been raining hard and there weren't that many people. Sometimes you just take what is given to you. And so with this picture, I tried to capture some light trails using a slower exposure.
I didn't have my tripod so I relied on the the X-H1's IBIS.
Singapore is a wonderful place to visit.

Been outdoors for a little Biking-Tour and took a manual focus lens with me. This Image of an Maximilian Sunflower also named as Helianthus Maximiliani was taken with an vintage lens SMC Takumar 50mm F1.4 that is almost 50 Years old ! Those old lenses have their own caracters and of course manual focus is needed. They do have their own special look.
