Here I am again with my family enjoying the Adriatic seaside.
We are lazy. We are happy. We make a photo or two.
I am fascinated by the wooden boats tied up in the tiny port. Probably inspired by the local artist Solis.
-
This is the life... envious.
Very serene images, I especially like the third.
-
oh you must visit - we have LOTS of boats..... Lots and Lots and Lots ...
-
At least I am not taking photos of flowers, yet ;D
Thank you Simone and Elsa, I am glad you like my new obsession with "barkas" as these beautiful wooden boats are locally called.

Barka = barca
The name on either side of the Adriatic is the same :)
-
Yet another barca from the north east Adriatic where locals speak Italian :)

Two years ago I nearly decided to go on holidays to Losinj, but I had a very young daughter and a wife who is not keen on exclusively seaside holidays.
So we opted for an "easier" solution that would allow seaside (both beach and rocks) plus easy touring with easy to reach places to visit and ended up in Istria at Medulin (Medolino).
It has been a very pleasant holiday, but my dream is still to do a island-hopping holiday, going from Cres to Dubrovnik in a few weeks.
-
Perfect mindset for a holiday photographer, Jakov :) The boats are perfect examples of how details can make up for a whole scene.
-
Yes, great stuff. Like especially #3.2
-
Simone, I am here every year.
For an island, Cres has some many hiking routes ;)
Børge, thanks! I am relaxed and fixed to barcas for the time being.
Thanks, John!
The minimalist thread starts with one of these :)
-
Really like the first three with their blueish color
-
Nice, and you found a theme to work on while on vacation.
Until Saturday I was actually quite close to you, near Skocjan jama in the south of Slovenia. We had a marvelous time there and near Radovljica the week before. I will report when I am back. Now We are slowly transiting through Italy and will reach southern France by tomorrow evening. Back near Paris on Sunday. Enjoy your vacation!

Thank you Armando, the daylight does matter and the blue waters!
Olivier, I am glad you had a great time in Slovenia. Looking forward to your images!
I have found a theme, but just to keep my mind straight I made a few trademark images of Cres :)
I haven't talked about gear used since I am not really a true gear expert as many here :)
Recently, I have acquired a D750 and I am surprised that we don't have a dedicated thread for this camera. I am contemplating on opening one. It is truly a capable camera that I haven't bought earlier because I already had the Df before it was in production. I fell in love with the camera in Photokina two years ago but could never justify the expense. Why did I choose to buy it now is the real question? I suppose the ergonomics, the extra megapixels, video capability, and of course proper autofocus.
I am doing my best to find some flaws to the D750. The only thing that I realised, and that might be because I am not fully familiar with it just yet is the number of multiple exposure images that you can take. Perhaps somebody can enlighten me. With the Df one can make up to 10 multiple exposure images, but with the D750 only 3!?
Lenses used for these images are: 85/1.4 AF-D, 28/2.0 pre Ai and 300/4.5 AiS. My bag also contains the 45P, 8/3.5 Sigma and 135DC but I believe there are no images in this thread made with these yet.

D750 + 45P
Just after sunset at the beach.
-
The series makes me want to go there!
Have you newly got D750? How does it cope with 45P?
-
Akira, my new D750 copes very well with the 45P as you can see from the last batch of images ;)

Pink sky with boat, love that shot. I wonder how a pano of that place would look like! ::)
And of-course loved the boat shots with ropes (especially last one in very first post).
-
You make me wanna go back Jakov! I like the "everyday" mood you present. Walking around (on holiday) one notices the pine cones, leaves, boats, etc. Very good :)
-

Thanks, Jakov! Actually, that is a really bad news for a D750 owner! ;D
-
Anirban, a 360º pano is a great idea, thank you!
Perhaps I will make a planet instead of a clasic pano :)
Sten, you need to go back! Cres is wonderful, perhaps an idea for a future NG event?
There's lots to see and the lamb is one of the best in the world (at least that is what they say).
The fig plants are everywhere including the olive trees and pine trees. Figs always remind of Cres :)
Akira, I am emotionally attached to the 45P. I am certain that there are other normal lenses that exceed the 45P in all departments apart from style :D
I am really glad and happy shooting the D750. I am yet to notice any difference in image quality compared to D4 and Df. Handheld high ISO shots are as easy.
The flip LCD screen is really nice and it did help in occasions when I wanted to shoot from Erik's heights/altitudes :)

Hee, hee...Erik's altitudes...good one ;D
A NG event in Cres would tempt me a lot!

Jakov, one of the benefits I see in 45P is that it even makes D750, the FX DSLR, quite unobtrusive. The current AF-S f1.8 primes are all great, but I would seriously hope for much smaller f2.8 wideangle replacements with excellent image quality (with 24mm and 20mm, I could even live with f3.5).
-
Akira, I wouldn't mind a wide angle pancake at all. I agree with you that it's really unobtrusive, and that the looks of such a lens put smile to the subject's faces. Everybody sees it as a joke, but it's far from it.
Having said that, I suppose the AF-S 20/1.8 can't get any smaller or lighter and is high on my priority list of lenses to buy. Another one of those "cannot justify" lenses to buy since I am enjoying the 17-35/2.8 so much. The only reason would be size and weight, hence still waiting. Knowing my consumer personality and the recent purchases of "cannot justify" gear I might not wait for too long ::)
-
The main verdict of the D750 would be the way it handles the 135DC in a manner that I like to use this lens.
Yet again I don't see any drawbacks when I compared the images to the images I took with the Df or D4. Perhaps the additional amount of megapixels brought more detail as one would expect.
So yes, some flowers had to be recorded :)
-
And just when I started to wonder where are the flowers... ::)
I can't take my eyes off of 20160809_200254.jpg ...

Voigtländer? ;)
I really like the 40mm 2.0. Hopefully I'll be able to post a few pictures soon.
And then there is e.g. the 20mm that could fulfill your requirements - not owned by me, though.
-
Anirban, you are a true gentleman, thank you!
Geunther, your idea about the 20mm Voigtländer might not be too bad at all.
I wonder if anybody has experience with that lens?
Now let's merge the D750 + 135DC with my theme of boats :)
-
Great stuff Jakov.
Well, a three photo-stitch with the 45P and you have a 20mm ;)
-
Last shot is really fun ;) The first images of boat in black water are creepy,,,
Great fun makes me think of our great trips,,,
-
Thanks, John! A 45P pano for 20mm is an excellent idea ;D
Erik, Cres barcas are like space ships :)
Our great trips will occur again in September, I can hardly wait!
What's a seaside holiday without an AW1?
-
Jakov, the bubble images are superb!
-
Thank you Akira!
Here are the 360º planet panos I promised :)
-
Your best AW1 family shot. 8)
-
The AW1 come in very handy in any environment :)
-
Great inspiration in this images, thanks Jakov!
-
Thanks you Erik, Børge and Paco, coming from such photographers means a lot to me :)
I got to like the 8mm fish-eye on the D750. The extra megapixels seam to bring out more from such images.
-
I love #29.2 and 3 ... wanna eat that fish ... looks yummy ... the bubble abstract Iove.
-
#26 . The confuster the look the lovester I am with them hihihihi
-
Circular Fisheye lenses like 8mm or the 6mm ;) Just love high MP cameras! The lens crop so much away of the image area, it really makes a huge difference,,,,
Nice crisp and bright!
-
Thank you Frank and Erik!
-
ah I love the islands (Planet panos)
