The Hills Above Parma

After a job near Parma, I wandered around the hills near Langhirano, the home of Parma Ham.

I wanted to photograph the Abbazia di San Basilide, with the 15mm shift, for my Romanesque project, to get the whole façade in the shot. I also experimented with the 28-400 for detail shots. The rest are just things that caught my eye in this area.

This is near Reggio, a rather tatty abandoned church.

Thank your a wonderful tour. You always give us tremendous variety of captures.
Hard to pick a fave, but if forced: #9.

A bit choppy for canoeing. Looks like a nice clear day though.

Our First Hot Day

Today the summer heat arrived. We jumped to the very humid thirties. Our cat is feeling the heat, for his afternoon nap.

I am working on a project that involves trains, stations, related architecture and passengers. This is from yesterday's photowalk.

Just dropping in to say hello. I am usually teaching on Saturdays these days, and so I haven't posted anything in ages. I am still photographing shelter dogs -- about 50 or more dogs per week. It never ends.

Zuko, who emerged from the smoldering ruins of a house fire. You can see some of the burns on his left ear, and there are much more substantial burns on his left side. Fortunately, a rescue scooped him up pretty quickly.

Randa, who I am surprised is still at the shelter.

Toddle, who reappeared at the shelter recently after several years.

Pharaoh, who is labeled as hyperactive but was 100% good boy for the camera.

Coral, who I imagine will get scooped up pretty quickly.

Love this detail shot.

The low angle of view makes for a lovely composition.

Nice shot. Were you in a kayak, too, or on the shore?

Old Kotor

I like the way you have captured these two people engrossed with their phones.

I believe it is good to shape one's photography around a project, it certainly helps me to make more focused photography.

Hi Kaphinga, good to see your wonderful portrait photography. You really do infuse these dogs with character.

If you cannot post Saturday, Sunday is fine.

I like the second shot more as you can appreciate the massive steel structure more.

This is my pick. Lovely light picking out the crumbling plaster.
What is the curious round turret towards the right hand end?

Thre is a certain "Third Man" atmosphere to this set, especially the people with the dog in deep shadow.

I see you made good use of IBIS, with this set. I see you got a nice sharp picture at 1/8,1/15 is about my limit.
