I'm still going through my photos from holiday ( in August! ).
Most are holiday snaps, but some I've tried to "do something" with.
Here are some from the crop so far.
C&C welcome.

The "Sky Mirror" at Versaille

Interesting to see so many "long" focal lengths used.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Some lovely shots here. You must be pleased with them! And the longer focal lengths work well IMO.

Yep. The problem with having the family in tow was that I generally had to use the lens and not my feet. ie, walking off and getting the shot wouldn't have gone down too well.
Having said that, your point is a fair one. I do rely on zoom far too often. Maybe I should restrict myself to my 50mm one day.

The Eiffel tower was pure serendipity. We were having a picnic and I lay down and looked up through the tree and it was there.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys
