The Photos of Greece are beautiful and remind me of my trip there back in winter 1978. Loved the country. Just an aside....did you know that Melbourne, Australia is the largest Greek city population outside of Athens, Greece ???. Yep.

Graham's work is my regular haunt. He hasn't put up anything new for a while but when he does he never disappoints.
I hope to see lots more of your work in the future.

Cheers. John.

And! Thanks for the link -- there are so many beautiful pictures at Graham's site -- it really is inspiring.

It sounds like you've had an interesting career. You've seen more of these amazing times we live in, and I hope like you I can maintain a lifelong interest in learning new things and be open to change. (At least, that's what I detect in your comments.)

Updated: Reading the about page at sensitivelight.com: I like what Graham has to say there and it goes along with your comments above. Thanks again for pointing me his way.

And now a pointer for you that I found via Rambling Traveler: Stuck In Customs. Trey Ratcliff shares many pictures there using the HDR imaging technique.

(At the moment he seems to be mixed up on his licensing terms. The bottom of the page links to the Creative Commons Share-Alike license, but the top of the page says no commercial use is allowed without permission. In any case, he has some striking pictures and it's nice that he is sharing them on his blog.)

That camera certainly takes a quality shot. Despite the hype about Nikon (more about elitism than anything else), Canon has surpassed Nikon lens quality at least 25 years ago. In fact Canon has more lens technology patents than ALL other lens manufacturers put together. The result can be seen in your pictures. You have a good eye and that is what makes a great photo. A majority of "professional" photographers take technically excellent photos and yet the pictures are largely boring and uninteresting. The majority of interesting and exciting photos are often full of technical "faults". The picture value is in the eyes of the Picture taker and that is why family albums are full of astonishing and exciting photos.
Remember that people are alive and this helps give life to pictures of the human habitat. Even when you do photos such as the ones shown here try to use a tripod. When people see that they immediately consider you an ardent photographer and you will be simply amazed at how their attitude changes toward you and it will show in the pics.
I recommend that you login to the following site which I know will inspire you. Look through all the photos there, you will not be disappointed and of that I am certain.

By the way, I have been a successful Pro Photographer for the past 27yrs and was doing photography since I was An RAAF Radio & Radar Apprentice in 1951.

Keep up the good work and go getum mate. Cheers.
John.

It may be a sign of my amateur status or that I'm antisocial, but outside of my family, I usually try for pictures without people in them. On the other side of that, I like seeing people in pictures, so maybe that tells me I'm missing out on some good material.
