Not much shooting this week; too busy with work. :-( I tried to get a picture of the lunar eclipse, but there were clouds in the eastern sky. Once the moon appeared, it was bright and full. 500mm is not enough. I wish I had a longer lens! :-)
Intriguing, is she trying to set up tent in such manner? Or shake sand out of tent? Or just caught flown by wind tent?
Yes 😀
I quite often go to events because I need to show something in weekly thread and it keeps me active in photography, otherwise I'd think that I'll start shooting more when I retire. For this I have to blame and thank You!
On other hand I want to clear my head from daily problems and work, going to events and experincing something new is one of best ways for that.
When it comes into that old car show then I'm in no way car enthusiast but looking old cars and other old machinery is fascinating for me, so I'd probably visited it even if I didn't shoot, but now I got 2 interests combined in one visit!
Great capture. Looks unsafe but this rebel I-dont-give-damn look and posture it's assumed.
Great shots and description, you are describing your journey so well that I'm feeling like I followed you in this trip.
I think that the overcast late shots are benefitting from rain, it seems to me that during or after rain plants look more fresh and colourful.
I like first shot, you managed to capture tree and moon reasonably exposed and in focus, usually it's either one or other, never both together.
In this case usual recommendation "zoom with your legs" does not apply... But nice result anyway, looks sharp enough.
Should have just cropped it ;-)
Good image though, can clearly see Copernicus and Tycho.
It's one of those instant-open tens that she's struggling with.
@Wormsmeat has written:Crazy. Not sure this old Harley's going to make it.
You certainly attend a lot of events. Do you go for the event itself or the photo ops?Yes 😀

Ha! Thanks, glad to be of help. It is, of course, important to do things rather than sit at home.
It is a nice minimalist capture.
Distinguished ladies and gentlemen
2 weeks ago was old cars and motorcycles race and drive, starting from Tallinn and driving about 100 km eastward to one of local county centers Rakvere. There was similar event 50 years ago and this year's event was to celebrate that 50 year anniversary.
Here are some shots of drivers and co-pilots. Maybe I will post shots of cars in future if I don't find anything more interesting to show...
I like old cars, particularly Mercedes, which I can see a few of. You captured the essence of the event very well.
Certosa di Pavia
I have been taking bit of a rest from photography of late. But this week I decided it was time for a photographic expedition to Pavia, a city rich in Romanesque architecture. But whilst the sites I wanted to visit were closed for lunch, I ventured out to the Certosa di Pavia, a huge monumental complex just outside of Pavia.
The Certosa di Pavia is a monastery complex in Lombardy, Northern Italy, situated near a small village of the same name in the Province of Pavia, 8 km (5.0 mi) north of Pavia. Built from 1396 to 1495, it was once located at the end of the Visconti Park a large hunting park and pleasure ground belonging to the Visconti dukes of Milan. It is one of the largest monasteries in Italy. Certosa is the Italian translation of Charterhouse: a monastery of the cloistered monastic order of Carthusians founded by St. Bruno in 1044 at Grande Chartreuse. The architecture is in the Renaissance style, with hints of Gothic. It was built to impress, and impress it certainly does. I really liked the semi detached Monks villas out on the large Cloister.
Here tripods are out of the question, so I just used my Z8 with the 14-35 and 28-200 hand held. The Z8 is proving to be a great camera, IBIS is better than the Z7 . Also hand held HDR sets align perfectly in Capture One.
Another wonderful set and I do agree it is very impressive.
Nice colours and OOF areas!
Three Days of Heather
I like the colours of OM more than Fuji, which are more vivid, perhaps because of lighting conditions. I like subtle colours more here.
Moonrise
The early morning lunar eclipse yesterday found us engulfed in cloud and mist, so nothing doing there. But earlier in the week I caught a glimpse of the moon rising through the trees behind the house and dashed out with my camera for a few not very technically good shots. But it made me happy.
They’re gorgeous, I liked the first one more.

I think 500 mm did a very good job here, plenty of details.
