RE: Another shot from Italy: Wildflowers
It just seems to be like drinking out of a fire hose when we travel. We get 5-8 hours to 'see' a port or nearby city, usually with minimal ability to plan as guide books do not spend much time on port cities. We now avoid tour buses, taking small private tours, tuktuks, taxis whatever instead which helps a lot. Esp when you can find others who actually want to take photos instead of snaps with photo frames (iPads) through dirty bus windows at 60kmh. I probably do a lot more thinking about my photos as I take them than I realize. Thankfully my wife now has a K100D instead of a PS and she has a great eye for photo ops. I only threw out about 10% of our shots this trip, which still leaves 1 to sort out! gerrit -Original Message- From: PDML [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of Mark Roberts Sent: Friday, July 26, 2013 8:04 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Another shot from Italy: Wildflowers Gerrit Visser wrote: Very lovely photo.
