Just passing by...
Really like this but wondering if maybe cropping it a tad tighter to remove the foreground distraction would enhance the serene feeling the rest of the image has?
From the archives. I took this shot of sunrise at Dead Horse Point, UT 4 years ago

You haven't met Mrs. Oblomow...
Talent, time and hard work do pay off. You most certainly have mastered the craft.A photo from July that I took while leading a workshop in the Dolomites. I don't always get the chance to take out my own gear for some shooting during workshops, but it's nice to have something to show everyone afterwards when I do.

and Mrs Oblomow doesn't follow this thread. You hope....
Not particularly artistic by any means but a shot of rain coming over the hill. Found it fascinating to see heavy rain from a distance.

Thanks!
Nikon 200-500 with 1.4 TC on a D810 (so 700mm). ISO 64, f/8, 1/160th sec in manual mode. Sturdy tripod, mirror up, focus via LV zoomed in, cable release. Cropped in camera by shooting as DX (since I knew it would need to be heavily cropped in post anyway to come close to filling the frame). I shot it with VR both on and off and the images with VR on were sharper. Also shot with both AF and manual focus and the AF images were sharper.
Was surprised to see just how fast the moon travels at these focal lengths as it was literally moving across the frame while I fiddled with focus in LV.

Having a military background, “challenge coins” have a special meaning. Wikipedia’s definition is:
“A challenge coin is a small coin or medallion (usually military), bearing an organization’s insignia or emblem and carried by the organization’s members. Traditionally, they are given to prove membership when challenged and to enhance morale. In addition, they are also collected by service members. In practice, challenge coins are normally presented by unit commanders in recognition of special achievement by a member of the unit. They are also exchanged in recognition of visits to an organization.duty/contributions.”
I have four children, three of which have graduated college while the last is currently a freshman. After college graduation I presented each with a Morgan silver dollar from a small collection that passed to me from my father. These were given as recognition of their achievements, a momento, a rememberance, a bit of history from grandfather to father to son/daughter. When the family gets together I have mine and I “challenge” the kidos for theirs, no shows “buy” is the rule. Last Christmas I must have been a bit addled as I didn’t challenge. The day we left I found this from my oldest daughter. Maybe the “younger generation” does listen.

Fabulous story and such a lovely thing to do to maintain a link to your kids.

Nice done Alex. Great shot.
Busker in St Albans. He was playing Careless Whisper by George Michael, which really made me laugh. He was pretty good though.

Thanks, @MacRy ! It was more of a test for myself and whether handholding is still a possibility as the new med's I am on give me micro-tremors and my macro lens has no image stabilisation. Looks like I still can while working with a wide aperture (f/2.8)
You definitely can, that's a great shot. Glad to hear that the meds aren't going to be compromising your awesome work
