Very cool, the dramatic sky! I hope the storm cleared up quickly?

And I hope there will be a picture of you with the inflatable swan eventually. ;D

smusesuse, you will not see me on the inflatable swan :D

Here are a few that could have easily ended up in another theme topic, like boats, or clouds, or rubberneck syndrome :)

Fantastic. The variety is awesome and the image-making is very imaginative and original. Wonderful series.

Jaklov, your neck need to be much more flexible to do the rubberneck things with the fisheye.   ;D

David, thank you so much. I try to add as much variety as possible into my images.

Akira, yes, I was actually looking down for that image :D Nevertheless, I am certain that you would enjoy bending your neck in Cres. It's such a photogenic place.

Armando it's all about transformation, insects, and spiders :) Thanks!

Thanks, Erik! We need to get together here, it's beautiful...and...
...tonight I am going to visit an ethno-village with organic foods.
On the menu wild boar. Now that rings a bell.
I will check it out and if good I will bookmark the place. In the surroundings we might spot vultures...
More than one lens will be used today.

Yesterday was a day off when it comes to taking images. Thank you all once again for visiting my views of Cres.

The local wild boar is amazing, and so was the deer!
A great place for lovers of art, organic food, and wilderness.

1. Atelier;
2. Sculpture sunset.

Then the battery died on me. Or at least I hope that it was the battery. It was fully charged, and then all of a sudden the camera shutdown indicating that the battery is empty. I recharged the battery this morning but it didn't change a thing.
There will be a lot of IR and AW1 during the rest of my holiday :)

We flew today. A bit of parasailing is always welcome.
AW1 came in very handy.

Paco and Erik,
Thank you so much! It is my favorite of this holiday thus far.

The Adriatic coast is beautiful, but of all the islands Cres has to be the most photogenic.
Flora and fauna are unmatched.

Yesterdays I went to pick "smilje" a plant of an amazing sent. Took some images too.

1. Smilje Helichrysum Italicum;
2. Something pointy and magenta;
3. Something pointy and blue;
4. I knew I was going to invert this one;
5. Vulture Gyps Fulvus;
6. Back in the city limits 3 takes;
7. Take two;
8. Take three.

D750 (that mysteriously started working again), 85/1.4 and 300/4.5 with or without PN-1 extension tube modified by Erik to fit the Heligon but works just fine on anything else.

Thanks, Jakov
