I am back :: Some Pics

[pixelpixel]

Just returned from my good old yearly holiday, this year it was Greece most of these images from either Rhodes town or Ixia. Picked up a few things while on holiday and also tried a few others out for the first time. Enjoy.

Sky and Clouds

Thats...

Clock Tower

Wall

Managed to see the Rhodes BG Triathlon World Cup, I need to learn panning. Also I set my camera to burst mode and had some fun with it . Only issue it sucks the battery So only half the event.

Cones on the road

Red Runner

Number 15

3 Elements

Many more to come

Red Runner and Elements for me. I like the high contrast and colour and the shallow DoF in Red Runner. People nowdays do get the most strangest of tattoos.
BTW, welcome back.

Some more.....I have far too many images to process

Will post the ones that stand out first and then have another run with them later this week.

Last Boy Scout

Railings

The Walls

Arches

Father and Sun

[Tobers]

Nice attention to detail and good vision to spot some of those pics. I like the close ups of the athletes particularly.

One thing I am very happy with is that I managed to use manual focus on my camera to some good effect. On the other hand I never got to try panning. I will keep updating this page over the next few days

2 Examples of manual focus:

New Rope

Old Rope

Tied Up

Blue at Sea

Take a seat

Lindos

Just a little boat

[Manic78]

All of them are great, but I especially like Lindos, Arches, Red Runner and No 15.

Great pics, Good holiday?

[Paranormalist]

You've made Lindos look like a minature town! Really like the DoF here.

A few more:

Our Lady of Bourgou Church

Casting a shadow

[Garf]

Some great photos in here, especially Arches, Tied Up & Number 15.

Good stuff.

Some pics??.. You mean many pics dont you?..

I detect a "minimalist" style" here seems to work very well, For sure these are not your typical holiday snapshots
I like Last Boy scout and No 15..amongst others. The Arches father and son seem a bit tilted from the horizontal
Really nice bunch all in all
Well done

Thanks

I don't have a style yet like some others but I do like a minimalist feel to my images. Like you the other half did also say to me recently why don't you do normal holiday images Whats normal ?

Regarding the arches father and sun, the floor runs away from you. So I went for the focus point being level and let the rest be, but after looking again yes your right its not level

The last update:

So looking back I spent 2 weeks away and I managed to snap 200+ images of those only around 20 or so stand out from the rest. Below is just an update and all of the sets can be viewed via the collection I have setup

Spire Tower - B&W

Rhodes Space Invader

Closed Window

Thats it for another year


Could a mod please kindly change the title of this to the following: My Holiday Pics - Greece ** 56K Beware

Thank you
