Something is going wrong when the camera with its impressive algorithms and countless AF options forces itself into the centre and, hence, between photographer and object. Ideally, I would think, we photographers ought to use the camera as if it was not there. Just focussing on the composition and the 'essence' of the object and having the settings run in the background. I am not advocating 'point and shoot', I am saying that a camera should be built in such a way that we can 'forget' about it and focus on taking the picture. I think my older cameras do that. My newer ones are much more sophisticated and what they are increasingly trying to do is take over decisions I could make myself. What is my reaction? Number one, I prefer using my older cameras. And two, when using my sophisticated ones, I turn off a lot of their computer-powered procedures. I wonder what you think.
Seen in the Oldtimer Museum, Amerang, Bavaria, Germany. Shot with Sony A7 MII and Leitz/Leica SUMMILUX 75mm, F1.4 and NOVOFLEX Adapter.

Port of Megayachts in Catalonia / Barcelona
Vilanova Grand Marina.
Vilanova i la Geltrú has one of the most attractive ports in Europe. The Vilanova Grand Marina - Barcelona has been designated the 10th most beautiful port of the Old Continent by the Italian portal Marcopolo TV. The arguments that have raised him to this position are his specialization in superyachts, his location next to Barcelona and at the foot of the Garraf Natural Park and its services of cutting-edge technology.

The biggest security risk in any system is the user.
"Hundreds of Westminster insiders were added to - and then deleted from - a WhatsApp group set up by shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick to promote his London Marathon run".
In this day and age there should be minimum level of competence with technology to gain access to any position of power or trust, (especially after the U.S "signal app" fiasco).
(As we old techies used to say the problem is "BTKAC" between the keyboard and chair).
The BBC has been told Jenrick is not referring himself to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which investigates data breaches. (What a surprise!).
Sitting on the window-sill and enjoying the low afternoon sun. Illuminated and in sharp focus is the "good" eye, the one I use for photography. The other one plays second fiddle. However, none of them was really involved in taking this self-portrait. It was the artificial eye of the camera in connection with a clever algorithm (automatic eye recognition) that kicked in when I pressed the shutter release (via a long cable). This is one of the situations where camera technology enables me to do things with ease that, if done manually, would have been quite difficult to achieve.
Crazy Tuesday - Vintage Technology
A set of heavy metal scales (I borrowed) and imperial weights ranging from 2lb down to 1/4oz !!
Absolutely love the way this turned out. It's inspired by this concept art from Elysium. Something I've wanted to do for quite a while now. Not quite done yet as I need to add to the interior cargo area and make some actual cargo for it, but I wanted to get this photo before the decals aged or something happened to them. This is also the first time I've been able to get a white background to look good in a long time! XD
