Just coming back from vacation time. Have been away with the d200 ir and 18-70mm without a card reader to put the images in the computer and now the hard disk is broken so it will take a few days before I can process them. Wonderful time in the coast of Cádiz, south Spain, moving between Conil, El Palmar, Caños de Meca, Barbate and Zahara de los Atunes and La Muela throwing in Vejer de la Frontera for good measure. A true paradise for me. Best company too...

  I had a lot of images and stories to go through in the forum. Thank you all for making this place so special.


   Flying free. D200 ir, 18-70mm

Paco, I like this one better.  The IR treatment works nicely here.

Is anyone else in North West Europe seeing a lot of rain this week?

It's got to go somewhere...

[ColinM]

Nice high key
50-250 on Z50

Agreed Nasos
Also a good contrast between the dying foliage and the beautiful flower

Leaves, squash showing mineral deficiency

Striking result Fons - initially I wondered if this was due to the PP.
They often say that you can't give Squash plants too much food - hope the "fruit" is developing on them and that these look ok?

I've been watching the German TV series "Dark" and this reminded me of some of the moody atmospherics in that

Vibrant image, I like it a lot.

Ahhh, Fons, are you a chili head?

[Fons Baerken]

Homegrown these are quite hot i take them sparingly

Since I've been confined to working at home I've set up the old turntable by my side. Everything in this picture is nearly 40 years old, except the lens... which is older.
