Putting the F back into Sydney
My wife has had a tough year with her health and we've been looking for a chance to get away for a night or two. On Saturday morning we made a snap decision to book flights to Sydney (no, don't ask the price at short notice on a holiday weekend!!), found a reasonably swish hotel with a vacancy near the harbour, farmed out the kids for two nights and before you could say "Is there room on the credit card", we were on our way!

A few shots from a trip to the Dolomites and Tuscany
First time doing a longer trip by car in Europe, from Stockholm in Sweden to Tuscany in Italy. Also the first time doing a trip with both our kids (1 and 3 years old). To make it a little bit easier we took the car train from Hamburg and decided to stay four nights in Val Gardena (Selva) in the Dolomites for some light hiking. I also brought my bike to experience Italian mountain passes and the rolling hills in Tuscany.
Travelling with kids makes it difficult to concentrate on taking photos, I ended up with a lot of shots of backs of people walking. I brought my GM1 with the Panasonic 14 mm lens on some of my bike rides and it worked ok (even though I would have liked something that could slip in and out of the jersey pocket a bit easier).
Both the Dolomites and Tuscany are wonderful places and I hope to go back to both again in the future!18Jul 12, 2017 -

Share-Airshow Photographs
I was going thru my photos when I found a couple of airshow photographs I had flagged but had not processed yet. Then I was surprised there was not a thread for airshow photographs. There is one for airplanes but not airshows, so figured I would start one.
Both of these shots are from the 2015 Wings Over Houston Airshow and are of the Breitling Jet Team. They are an amazing civilian jet team and one I hope comes back to Houston. Last year was their first time performing in the United States (they are from France if I remember correctly) and unfortunately they are not going to be here for the 2016 airshow.
This first one I was really happy with because it is my best capture of two planes passing from 3 different airshows. It is such a hard shot to get because you are panning with one of the aircraft and the other is moving in the opposite direction. I wish I had opened up a stop and kicked shutter speed to 1/8000, would have frozen the passing plane a bit better. Regardless, I am happy with the shot.43Sep 15, 2016 -
Retro Cars - Nostalgia Week at Somero, Finland
They held a festival called Nostalgiaviikko (Nostalgy Week in English) in a small town called Somero. The 50s was the theme and we went there for my birthday - which happened to be a national day off (not because of my birthday though... yet...
). Anyway, I mainly focused on capturing the retro cars. Man, I wish I had the money to buy one of those beauties and had the know-how to keep it running too. 
All the photos were taken with my Olympus E-M5 and 12-40mm f/2.8. Since the first pictures I took seemed to lack "something", I tried the Diorama Art Filter - and liked it. So I used the filter for the rest of the day.
Most of these pictures are OOC-JPEGs that I tweaked in Photoshop and some I processed from RAW to JPEG but used "a bit extreme" values in Lightroom (I don't normally set clarity to 100 as I now did
