Here is a thread for all your Hellenic images! I'll start with one from Psirri, Athens.

Hey guys, I'm starting to plan a trip to Egypt in May and would love some input on what to see and do from those of you who have been. My schedule is pretty open still. What are some top destinations for great photography... both iconic sights and any lesser known spots? Also, any local...

In 1903, George A. Wyman rode his motorcycle from San Francisco to New York and became the first person to cross the country on a motor vehicle - car or motorcycle. In the summer of 2016, I endeavored to follow his tire tracks as best as I could on an electric motorcycle. As I prepared for the...

My wife and I are in Athens, Greece for a week for our tenth wedding anniversary. Time flies! I reckon I'll have a lot of photos to share eventually, but will post a few as I go, as downtime allows. The flight was long from Seattle, about ten hours in the air to Amsterdam, and a connecting...

Hello. I've been thinking a lot for the last few weeks about a setup that's very easy to carry (large pockets or smallest holster bag) but more importantly one handed (right handed) use. The use cases are walk-abouts (around towns and cities), walk in the park with someone I like and a small...

From a recent trip to Meteora in Greece - June 2023 Had the pleasure of visiting my home country this past summer. Took the opportunity to visit the historic Meteora site where more than 500 years ago, monks built 24 Eastern Orthodox monasteries atop inaccessible peaks in this part of central...

Went to Barcelona. What a great place. The La Sagrada Família was magnificent. I changed from RAW/B&W JPG to RAW/Colour JPG as the colours just blew me away and I was enjoying the colour more than my usual B&W shapes/lines settings. The East wing has blue/green stained glass and the West...

Early blue hour...

The wonderful City of Light. Post your pictures so we can all relive our travels to that wonderful place... @fotoi (Let's try it again here) :2thumbs:

I was in Cuba about 8 years ago and I'm now heading back that way.. Here are some photos from the last trip. Anyone else want to contribute? Hemingways Pilar

As it was in the past, it's about time: in two weeks I'm heading into Mangystau first and then I'll reach Uzbekistan by train. Mangystau is a striped desert and Uzbekistan is full of ancient cities , so it's going to be quite a visual treat. I was thinking of bringing this kit X-E4 with 16mm...

It wouldn't be absolutely needed right now but it will soon. My needs have changed quite a bit since my Micro Four Thirds days. In the last 2 years I have managed to build a good set of photography gear but my current backpack is not keeping up well. Right now I have: *Sony a7 Mark IV body with...

Hi all, I am looking to buy my first camera and would like to ask for some advice. I would mainly use it for travel/holidays: street photography, some landscapes, portraits. I am currently looking at the Panasonic G80 and the Olympus E-M10 IV and was wondering if maybe I could get some advice on...

Went to the Photography Show on the 20th June 2023 at Weston-Super-Mare and it was my first time there. A lot of very interesting architecture and a mix of old and new buildings. The palm trees reminded me of my time living in Sicily and how much I miss living near the coast. A very...

My oldest daughter is savoring her first fish and chips at Pimlico in London. She goes every year about this time to attend Wimbledon if possible and to definitely attend Glastonbury Festival. She is roughing it with a rented tent with all the amenities of a small hotel room and will spend...

Some random first shots from the Q2 in Sicily this week.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ashram is the ashram of the famous Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who started the Transcendental Meditation movement. Although it was abandoned back in 1997, it has now been taken under the control of the forest department. In 1968, the ashram rose to fame and placed Rishikesh on...

Happened upon an occasion to shoot at Kristiania College today, so in between shooting speakers keynotes and not as well as diverse crowd/mingling shots, I got in some shots for myself. Didn't find a tread for building details, so thought I would put one up.

We're planning a big family vacation (Greece, Italy, ? - still planning). I thinking about 4 options: OM-1 / OM-5 with handheld high res 50mp. I have all the glass I need, so I'd just need the body and batteries. Handheld high res does have some issues with things ghosting with movement that...

Hi Cameraderie Friends, I've got a work trip to Vietnam coming up next week, a few days in Hanoi and then a few days in Ho Chi Minh (I've got a day off in Hanoi and about 8 hours in Ho Chi Minh), and I'm looking for recommendations for photographic locations in both cities. Thanks in advance...

I'm talking about an OS family holiday with an OM-1. I'd rather shoot hand held than take the Gitzo but a small tripod might be nice for the occasional macro or landscape. At this stage, I intend to take a 12-40 f2.8, 60mm macro and 17mm f1.8.

I promised (remember @Irene McC?) to post a travelogue of our trip to Zimbabwe and South Africa in 2022, so here goes! This report will take several days to complete. First, some genenal remarks. It was a family trip, including 2 parents and 2 twin daughters of 23 years. The purpose was to...

Some ago I bought a travel zoom. Thought it could come in handy on vacation trips where you want convenience and not change lens often. The days of between christmas and new year was the time. We went to Tenerife for one week. Have visited most of the canary islands but not Tenerife so it was...

This autumn I made bicycle touring to my old town Gnesta which is about 420 km car drive from where I live now in Gothenburg. The route I took was nice small roads that was about 530 km. Took a few days off to do this and I thought I should go home by train to save time. Self-supported so I...

Hi I’m seeking your travel advice for a trip we are planning from Seattle to Jackson Hole in September 2023. We only have about 16 days for the trip and would be flying in from the UK. Yellowstone and the Grand Teton national Parks are the main draw but from the UK its much, much cheaper to...

I have found that I really enjoy grabbing shots from inside the car, often while moving. Looking back on a lot of shots I have made, I think I used to be disappointed when viewing my car "grab shots" out the window later on, and seeing the inevitable motion blur, blurry bug splatter, or whatever...

Some interesting points: This is supposedly the first replica of such garden based on Ancient Egyptian accounts and recent artifacts. The design is typical during the Middle Kingdom period (2040 BCE to 1782 BCE). Ancient Egyptians used the temples and gardens, such as this, as a meeting place...

So, we had our week and a bit in Scotland. I drove 1100 miles and we ate a lot of haddock! I also took quite a few photos...here are a few of them. First stop - Stirling where we visited the Bannockburn memorial and the old town Next stop - the county (sorry, "Kingdom") of Fife. Culross...

OPTIC All Stars Day 01: B&H's Outdoor Photo/Video Travel Imaging Conference online now:

Hi, I recently sold a Fujifilm Zoom Date 2.8, aka Silvi. I've used this camera as a backup, only taking a few snaps every now and then. As a result, when I finally developed the Ektar it was loaded with, I was surprised to find a great variety of places this single roll visited: Andalucia...

Well folks the dreaded GAS has struck again, and I splashed the cash on a PD Travel Tripod the Carbon Fibre version . Bloody expensive I know but I would only fritter the money away on Wine, Women and Song! 🤗 Initial impressions are very good, and the tripod comes complete with everything one...

Last year I travelled to Japan for the first time, it was my first big trip overseas as an adult. I spent a month there and had an amazing time. I haven't really shown my photos anywhere so I figured I'll start a thread here where I can post, over a period of time, various shots from my trip...

With my kit being down to three lenses and two bodies. It wasn’t hard to narrow it down. Basically, take everything. X-Pro2 and 56mm in a Think Tank Spectral 8 bag with the peak design leash, 10 stop filter, shutter release, step up rings, and batteries/charger. X-E3 with 16mm/35mm in a think...

This is not going to be as long and intense as last years thread, but some might find it interesting - because this time, I did the opposite: Instead of packing my most highly rated gear, I went with two compacts, the Panasonic FZ1000 and, again, the Canon G1X III, plus my father's Olympus XA...

Well, I know this that I'm probably not the only one travelling throughout Scotland this summer, but I'll use this thread to show some images - miscellaneous subjects, ordered by date (roughly). The first couple of days were nice enough, if a bit too warm for my liking, but who am I to complain...

A changeable week in Cornwall - mostly fine weather but a couple of gloomy, drizzly days. The grand plan was to introduce Inky to the sea (having never seen it before). At first she was ok with the beach, then terror took over as she saw and heard the big wet roary thing. So we stuck to the...

I've been ordering a few end of year photo books while the offers are good and reworking a few older images. Here are a few from a trip to Islay last year focusing on the wonderful skyscapes.

We just got back from a trip to Luang Prabang in Laos where we signed up for an elephant trek with Mandalao tours. They are the only organisation in Luang Prabang running tours that don't allow riding on the elephants, which was what we wanted. Here are a few pictures from our tour. I'll post...

I finally made it to Angkor last week and spent a few days visiting the temples and hanging around in Siem Reap. I took about a year's worth of pictures in five days and have just about managed to get the total down to around 400. Here are a few I've picked out and done a bit of work on. All...

The Cemetery in Taguig, Metro Manila is the burial place for more than 17,000 service personnel and a memorial for over 36,000 more. There is further information in the Cemetery Booklet. Normally Manila weather means blue skies and bright sunshine with corresponding hard shadows, or a solid...

After a couple of years of work, I've just produced my first Kindle book, F8 and Been There. ...you are the target audience, so I hope you enjoy it! Please use one of our affiliate links: Amazon US: http://www.amazon.com Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk ...and search by title. It should...

I thought I'd share a few of the landscapes/scenics I've taken on my travels over the last couple of weeks! 1. Glencoe!... needs no introduction! 2. Mirror Man in Loch Earn 3. Blackrock Cottage (cliche I know but I'd never taken the shot myself!) 4. Loch Goil Moonlight 5. Fidra...

A young lady stands examining a map in Lisbon. Well, it could be a map, or it could be a blackberry, apple or some other fruit-related electronic device. Anyway, she's lost. I think.
