Back from a brief trip to paradise… Northern Italy and the Alps. Managed to snap a few pics during this “traveler’s tour,’ which is always a challenge since nobody waits for tripod users; hence all shots are handheld.
Dolomites mountain group is in the eastern section of the northern Italian Alps, The range comprises a number of impressive peaks, 18 of which rise to more than 10,000 feet. The highest point is the Marmolada (10,964 feet, the southern face of which consists of a precipice 2,000 feet high.
The range and its characteristic rock take their name from the 18th-century French geologist Dieudonné Dolomieu, who made the first scientific study of the region and its geology.
Geologically, the mountains are formed of light-colored dolomitic limestone, which erosion has carved into grotesque shapes. The resulting landforms include jagged, saw-edged ridges, rocky pinnacles, screes (pebble deposits) of limestone debris, deep gorges, and numerous steep rock faces at relatively low levels.
Glaciated features occur at higher levels; 41 glaciers lie in the region. Many of the lower and more gentle scree slopes were once forested; only patches of woodland remain, however, interspersed with grassy meadows.

The outdoor photos I uploaded today were all shot thru my kitchen window. During these troubled times, it is important to see the beauty in simple things around us. Please stay safe and hang in there. The world will get moving again.
All shots of this series done with the Samyang 135/2 wide-open plus reflector (in this case the window pane through which the shot was done).
Snow Moon (Full Moon) from the suburbs of Nottinghamshire. Ten photos selected from many, in approximately 30 min time phase. All shots were hand held.
Other common names include Storm moon and Hunger moon.

No Group Banners, thanks.
Separating the private (the estate of Markyate Cell, to the left) from the public (the church, to the right). All shots of this series done with the Mitakon Speedmaster at F0.95.
Yesterday Alles shot a beautiful pic of us on my sim. (It's really *our* sim, because Alles and Kynne share a sky platform where they change outfits and take magical pics.) Anyway, while Alles - and later Kynne - were snapping away I took this closeup of myself with Alles. I had a fun afternoon with these two wonderful friends *and* got to spend the afternoon hugging Alles. <3
All shot from the hip. The locals understandably did not allow focused photography in the old city market area.

Another group of fall color photos from Lakes of the North (Mancelona, MI) or points close by.
All shots taken mid-October using a Sony 7R3 DSLR + Sigma 50-500mm OS lens.
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.
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.
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.
