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).

55 days into this 365 and I am pleasantly surprised that by staying present to whatever shows up throughout the day is kinda fun.
Happy Friday to all.
Shot notes: the warm tones is reflected sunlight on the water further up the stream (I was shooting from a lower section of the bank)
Note to self: f/9 and that's all the focus I get?! Do I hike 15 minutes back to my car for the tripod? *sigh* Perfectionism please lighten up because I am trying to go with the flow here...

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.

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 managed to see the Aurora on Thursday night. I took loads of photos and had such a great time. I was completely alone on my favourite beach at Rhossili (3 miles long!). Not the best Aurora shots I have seen but still happy to get anything! All shots taken in RAW and converted to jpeg images with no added saturation.
All shots of this series done with Leica M8 plus Voigtlander AS 2.8/90 wide-open. The location is one of Hertfordshire's garden centres (which, as I have told you before, I do regard as one of our barometers gauging the status of contemporary culture). This time, I had the chance of talking things through with one of the managers of the centre. First, the garden centre acquires and exhibits sculptures (and almost all sorts of them) because customers buy them. No surprise here, but as well no explanation as why they do so. Two, and importantly, the centre displays the sculptures according to visual criteria (difference of colour, background, focal or points of attraction). Three, the sculptures (as stand alone figures or in clusters) are located on critical junctions of the passage way through the centre. All this, in my view, creates a semi-sacred topography where customers (believers in the regeneration and wholeness of nature) perambulate as if on a procession. The content and individuality of any specific religion does not seem to matter, however, a general and undefined kind of spirituality does.
Very quick stop off in Onehunga on the way home tonight as I was passing the Manukau Harbour view. These rays burst through and being a sky nut a few hand held shots with the Grad Filter had to be done. The crepusculars were all over within a few mins sadly.

Have a good weekend all.
