I like the perfect pose of the guy balanced on his ladder.

Turning the picture 180* gives this a really unsettling vibe.
-
A lovely set of pictures, but I particularly liked the first shot with all those wild flowers.
Have a good party day.
-
How quickly we have moved from winter, to those hot hazy summer days. I feel the hot day in this shot.
-
I could easily fill two or three Blurb books. Thats the problem. How do I divide the sets of pictures ? By region of type.

Packing for a longer trip and having just 8 kilograms of camera gear to bring along (including the backpack) it is tricky to decide what to bring and what to leave at home! I hope to bring all my fast lenses, all my DSLR and Nikon 1 cameras, and a few long lenses, but that doesn't work as that would
Some lenses I use a lot, some just occasionally, like the Voigtländer 58/1.4 SL II, so why not take a few snaps?!
The wife wasn't interested in acting model so Theodore Jr. had to make do. We have quite a few teddy bears, collecting them for the grandchildren that never arrived. Now they (twins, age 5) are school kids and past bears (we left them just as Covid started to lock the borders, so we flew home going by China, somewhere we've never been before.
Anyway, it is a somewhat heavy, but compact, lens, with a lovely bokeh, and it is pretty darn sharp if you manage to do the focusing spot on. This needs to go in the camera bag!
-
Welcome aboard. I always covet Voigtländer lenses but that is a focal length I hardly ever use. I'd like a Voigtländer wide angle given the chance.

My dog has at last learned to appreciate swimming...
-
Those diagonals make a very striking dynamic image. Maybe a bit too tightly cropped?
-
I do have the old 20/3.5 as well, not bad but a bit slow ;-)! Sadly never updated!
-
I like this one. A sense of fun.

Summer hiking
A few more from our trip to Arran. We basked in blazing sun and very un-Scottish temperatures, which made hiking into the hills quite hard work.
Coire Fhionn Lochan, close to the wonderfully named village of Thundergay.
A very inviting looking pool, but unfortunately no sensible way down...

Thanks!
The "cropping" was done the moment the photo was taken, so to fix that would demand a lot of editing... -
Thanks! She sure had a lot of fun.
-
Some very fine photos. I especially like #2 from the woods with it's very fine light and fog.
-
Another little romanesque gem. The sculpture puts me in mind of those Melusina images that are so intriguing and that you've shown in various places before.
-
These are all fine shots, well worthy of exhibition.
-
Wow - how lovely is the water in #2? Loved these.
