Füssen 2006.

…and I’m back. Sorry for the lack of new posts but was traveling all over Germany & Austria and only returned yesterday. Here’s wishing you all a very Happy New Year folks! Hope you all have a wonderful year ahead and thanks a lot for your regular visits as well as precious feedback here. Now I’ll go and get on with the processing of the tons of photos I shot over the trip!

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Hope you have a wonderful time with your family and loved ones.

I’m on vacation from day after tomorrow until past new year’s. I’ll try to set up future posts if I can find the time otherwise here’s wishing you all a very Happy New Year too! Have fun and take care folks!

I recently bought a Minolta 28-70/2.8 G zoom, the first and only ‘G’ glass so far in my arsenal! Minolta’s (or now Sony’s) ‘G’ series consists of top of the line lenses that are made using the highest quality optics and materials. This zoom carries with it a legendary reputation for image sharpness and bokeh so I took it out for a spin yesterday along the Rhine here. Here is one result from that shoot. I wish I had taken a tripod along as this shot would have been so much better with it. As it is there is some camera shake. I wish I could have avoided the distraction of those bright lights on the lower left but I wanted to include the human element on the lower right and therefore was forced to include the lights as well.

After a month of trawling through my archives here is something fresh that I shot yesterday.
