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.

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.

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.

I prefer my flamenco guitar spicy, doesn't have to be fast, should have some meat on the bones, can be raw or well done, as long as it doesn't sound like it's turning green on an elevator floor.
