Wow! The lighting looks really good. These could be desktop wallpaper!

I do one thing at a time and had to do a lot of learning to get these photos up to snuff.

Beautiful photo, Simon.

It prompts fond memories. During six weeks in Italy in May and June of 2015, we spent a few days at Monterosso al Mare, before heading on north to Bellagio on the Lago di Como.

Such a beautiful country, such friendly people.

Beautiful, like all your photos, Simon. Are you, as I think, using a tripod?

Usually, but this one was handheld at f5.6, 1/150 secs. ISO 200 at about 7:30pm and low down with a tilting LCD screen. 15mm lens (APS-C).

I almost never do landscape, so perhaps a silly question: How is this seemingly infinite depth of field achieved? - Is it just the aperture being narrow enough (high f#)?

f5.6 is not that narrow but the distant subject is not that far away and it's a wide angle, which increases DOF. I didn't do landscapes until a few weeks ago either, but there is a lot of it here. I have a lens that requires almost no focus (12mm).

Thanks Simon; forgot to note the short focal length. 99 percent of what I shoot (hobby) is long focal length and wide aperture - portraits; dance photography.

Still cracking on and trying to find a market. Seems that people still like postcard shots and Italy is so beautiful.

Vernazza in the Cinque Terre last week. I'm lucky that is only an hour from my house.

Scenista? Is this your company, Simon?

That looks like a pic my father took in the 50s and somebody photoshopped outboard motors on all of the boats - lol.

Wonderful blues. No / very good colour rebalancing either (I suspect?) as the sea looks natural.

I tend not to overdo it in the edit and this was with my most expensive camera, so it is generally spot-on with the white balance.

I rarely venture into off topic.

But these photos are really wonderful! How is it they look so vibrant? I know the vibe is old on this thread now but cheers for sharing Simon!

The landscape is utterly beautiful. The piazza in Livorno is intriguing to me as a mathematician/physicist. Both are outstanding photographs.

Thanks, I have been learning a lot. It was too hot this summer but I will be going back out soon. Autumn is a good time for Tuscan landscapes.

Caught this one last week on the way back from the shops. I am awaiting a monstrously expensive medium format digital camera and lens. The wife will kill me but I need to invest in some better kit and sell off my surplus.

Finally got around to checking Google Maps. My recollection of a restaurant in the Torre seems to be correct. I'll show the photo to Larisa.

RE: Back into my photography (in reply to JasonM

really nice photos , my dad is a photo geek , im not .
i take some racing (cars) photo from time to time , my mainly focus was on track , but i started to have acess to Paddock and "backstage" action.

First photos on track , i was searching for the perfect one , but my perception had changed over time. One of my favourites from this time , is a Porshe 911 full of smoke due to engine failure and the driver goes off track to pitt the car.
Before , the perfect photo was on track , very dificult due to light , weather , motion etc.., and started to see that i enjoy a lot more some "random" that i tooked with track-car-mountains and stuff , therefore as i told before i start to photo the paddocks and backstage .
After the first test or two i just realized that i enjoy a lot more photos that tell something... a story etc . Like a Ford Gt 40 classic being pushed to the truck.. or a stained oil barrel parked at a entrace of the paddock... , pilots talkin with mecanics , mecanics workin on the car , and all the motion that works there. This is quite exciting..
For me this kind of photos , tells something about the action/event , if someone is capture with or something that interferes , thats life and thats great because its real.

I would like to do some more but also outside car racing , i have missed some oportunities to catch "that" photo , but the cell phone camera is **** , and i dont have the sony cybershot allways with me.

Talked about this with a friend of mine , and he told me this "the perfect photo is the one that we didnt took , or took yet"

RE: Back into my photography (in reply to JasonM

When my youngest daughter graduated from college she started a swimwear company. Unfortunately, this was at the beginning of 2020 and the pandemic caused all the swimwear shows and events to be cancelled. She perservered, travelling to Hawaii and Bali to shoot photos of models wearing her designs, but couldn't get much traction.

My older daughter looked at her photos and told her she should look into being a photograher, as she thought her photos were really good.

So, she started booking photography gigs, and it kind of took off. She does mostly weddings, and last year did two or three in Mexico, one in the Bahamas, and a couple in Hawaii, along with dozens of other gigs in Santa Barbara. Living the dream.

At one wedding in Hawaii, it started pouring rain. Everyone urged the officiant to continue and my daughter kept shooting while the bride, groom, and everyone else got soaked. She made a short video and it after it got 6 million views the New York Times called her. They published her photos along with an article about the couple. People magazine also called and interviewed her and published the interview on their website.

Her video has garnered over 20 million views. I've played a lot of weddings over the years, solo, and with a group, but I've never earned anywhere near what my kid earns doing a wedding, and I'm very happy about that.

Both anecdotes (yours and Manitas'), along with HR's photos of the skis and skier's shadow, remind me of leafing through "Life" magazine when I was a kid. That might have been a golden age for photography. My parents subscribed and we saved every issue. We had boxes upon boxes of them. Life being life, at one point they had to dispose of them - they had either become to cumbersome to haul around or more likely had taken on must.

I miss reading those old Life magazines and suspect some of the editions would be quite valuable today.

yeap life is dynamic and isnt perfect , the few things that i try to do "right" is "framing" the action , if the frame is fine i dont care to much about the rest.

Yes, Life was big deal. Iconic photos of historical events like the moon landing. That is the issue that stands out in my mind, but there were many many others.

Agreed, Rob. When I was a kid growing up in Phoenix I enjoyed the photographs in both "Life" and "National Geographic." "National Geographic" satisfied my sense of adventure with its articles and photographs of faraway places. But I must admit that I looked forward to National Geographic's articles about Africa and accompanying photographs of bare-breasted African tribal women. Unintentional "soft porn" to a 12-year old.
