@SFMCfranky Interesting composition.

@Jett129

I was sitting on the couch, drinking my morning coffee. It was just there.

@SFMCfranky Sometimes that's how some of the best shots happen,but you did have the presence of mind to pick up your phone and take the shot. I'm a strong believer in the old adage "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take"

@weftyarn There’s a group on Facebook called Minimalist Photography. I think they’d love that shot, as do I.

A very good reason to revive my Facebook account haha!

@AllAhoo so sorry I’ve been away, but you said if. Got great use of it on the trip, too! Here’s a handful of shots from the Great Ocean Road. Shot with the Fuji 100 from Japan.

@SFMCfranky the colors in this are so nice!

[SFMCfranky]

@alexxedge

Thanks! But I can take no credit for that. It was a calm, sunny, pandemic morning. Right place, right time.

@alexxedge really nice shots.

[alexxedge]

@ROman thanks! Was so stoked to finally use the Fuji 100 I got in Japan. Special film for a special trip.

Not many places I feel like I can share this but I just wrapped up my first paid shoot!

[Jett129]

Figured I should post this here as well as in Music. Over the years I’ve posted some of my surfing photography,and back in 1981 my band,Sorrows,recorded an instrumental called Slo Surfing. Just for fun I made a slide show using my images with the song. The record company got wind of this and today it was released as a video.

Samarkand, Uzbekistan
We just came back from the silk road in Uzbekistan. Beautiful country with amazing history and very very friendly people.

[Bridger]

Looks amazing @Marc2706, what was your itinerary and how did you travel about?

[Marc2706]

@Bridger sorry for my late reply! We were landing in Taschkent and took a rental car. Next stops were Samarkand, Buchara and Chiva, the silk road and back. It was very easy to travel, friendly people, delicious food and you always felt very safe.

[Bridger]

Sounds like a fantastic travel experience @Marc2706.

Would like to explore that part of the world.

[Marc2706]

@Bridger yes you should do! It is very easy to travel in Uzbekistan. The only problem is the food: you have to take care that you do not come back home 5 kg heavier!!
