First set for a long time (image-heavy)

It's been a long time since I posted a set of images, I do still post on the Gallery, but haven't been very active on the forum in recent times. These are just a selected few shots from our time in Corfu this year (we live in Corfu for 8 months of the year), no specific themes, just a selection of shots. Most are with the K-1 and either the Tamron SP 17-35, the Pentax 28-105 or the Tamron 70-300, some are with the KP, DA*300 and DA*50-135. All comments welcomed.

1. Shot from Kassiopi, towards Sarande in Albania on a stormy evening, K-1 + Tamron 70-300



2. In the small village of Lakones, near Paleocastritsa, K-1 + Tamron 70-300



3. Another shot from Lakones, K-1 + Tamron 70-300



4. An amusing image from Lakones, is this house number 81 or number 102? K-1 + Pentax 28-105

What a stunning set, wow!

So many superb shots. I really can't pick any favourites. Real variety of styles too.

Fantastic set of images David.

I really enjoy seeing new places through the eyes of a photo enthusiast.

Stand out image for me is No.19...those clouds...wow! Not a duffer from the 20 images though...all very good+. Particularly liked the butterfly images too...always good to see the local fauna in somewhere new.

Am assuming the timing of your new family venture hasn't been ideal given Covid restrictions?
Hope that things pick up if that has been the case...does seem a lovely part of the world.

Best wishes,

Karlo

Lovely set David, really regret selling you the 17-35mm, especially as I sold the 15-30mm not long after.

I think 4, 5 & 11 are my favourites ... re the house with 2 numbers, our home in Spain has the same, one is the road number and the other is the plot number. Not been out there for 4 years, really miss the scenery and the general pace of life.

Lovey QVQ set David - Quantity, Variety and Quality - pointless trying to pick a favourite, the standard is high and work so well as a set

Absolutely lovely set. I've never been to Corfu but these make a great advert for the place.

Superb set, #13 then #18 pip it for me

What a refreshing set for a chilly October morning! We visited Corfu three times and loved the laid back and easygoing atmosphere, the detail shots evoke those memories most for me. Great shots.

Beautiful set. The light in most of these is wonderful.

11 and 19 for me but what a cracking set to return back to posting images in the forum

Thanks all for looking and for your kind comments.

Cheers

Super selection and variety, David. Looks like a photographer's dream location!

Nice set David,

I don’t want to pick a favourite as they work well as a set. You’re certainly enjoying your time there.

Thanks for posting.
