Thank you, Sury; :)

Probably I also took close up shots of the cistern but didn't check the folder of that date in detail.

Re: Volcanoes, Flowers, and Waterfalls (from a recent trip)

. It's been a neat photo-trip for me, Jeff. :D These are incredibly clear and crisp vistas and the wild flora is unmistakably makes the scenes more authentic. I like each scene of each photo. I am curious about one thing: how's the scent of the crisp air in this area ? Something we can't detect from...

Just great, Valery!

You say SAL 55-200 is not fast but just look how sharp and crispy the details of the guy and the dogs are ... Amazing.

I was shooting Agapanthus seed pods on that day. The seed pod clusters are just as interesting as the flower clusters for me ... :)

That's very nice, Valery. :)
Utilization of regular rain water puddle as a reflective pool enhances the appearance of the church tower and surrounding buildings. A good trick to make a photo more interesting ... as well as, heralding the weather of the day.:)

Re: Looking Back

These 3 are taken with a MD 58f1.4 reverse mounted on A700 with MD/MA adapter with no glass and on camera flash, hand held shots.. Circa 2010. Hmm. May be I should search for those reverse mount adapters and try some. May be it is time to use my A77M2. Sury; I know you're trying out lenses, cameras...

I especially like Avenue Pasteur shot in the previous set and village by the lake, in Bern in the last set... Babies being devoured keeps reminding me of so many other things I dislike in this world.

Your silent, hidden treasures ...

. SAL55200 not so fast, it works very good with a77-2, but ok with a300 too. It's done in 2009, at that time I had for zoom lens only 55-200. I used just sport shot.

Great capture, Valery. :) The amount of details is prevalent all around the estate of the frame. SAL55200 must be fast. The birds appear almost frozen; not much of a fuzziness.
