Just to prove I don't always shoot misty river scenes another landscape photography cliche a lone tree

Thank you kindly! And yes, I do think it needs the colour. Interestingly, it looks good on my monitor and my phone (the latter is a bit warm) but not up to much on my iMac screen at work. Not sure what's going on there, but it's good to hear it looks OK to othersI really like this. Using colour with the shadows works well in my opinion. Mono may have lost too much of the shadow details
Really like this. Simple, lovely colours and subtle yet has a strong rythem.Here's another from Chania. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but to me this is very much the sort of thing I'm looking for. It was also educational to process, as the subtle stuff around the tree is very sensitive to minor adjustments. I may not have got it right yet - working under artificial light is always a bit hazardous! This one actually does work almost equally well as a monochrome, and choosing between them was not easy, but I do love the yellow walls of Chania Old Town...

Really like this one. The only thing which jars, to me, are the orange reflectors on the bike. Don't know if you could tone them down easily?Here's another from Chania.

Hope it's going well.

Thanks Dave, nice but simple composition nothing to taxing for the brain first thing in the morningLovely lighting and beautiful colours Graham, composition very good too
Thanks George its a lovely shaped treeVery nice Fujigraph Sir, good composition especially with the tree kinda leaning into the frame (if you get my drift), lovely colours, and nice light.
George.

Yes, the graffiti is unsightly, but I think it adds to the vibrance of the place.Shame about the graffiti but it's pretty much everywhere there. Love the colours in the old town, especially in the warmer (light!) hours.

Just a simple Fujigraph taken at of an Electric Street Light that kinda resembles an old style Gaslight.

That's a nice clean shot George, and I love that 60mm. For a "cheap" lens it certainly performs....
wOOw David, I adore the colours and content of this capture, sublime.....!!! That basic kit lens is simply fantastic!!!Here's another from Chania.

Thanks! It's heartening to hear that there are people who like the same things I doReally like this. Simple, lovely colours and subtle yet has a strong rythem.
Good thought, and it's an easy fix IMO. I'll take a look at that.Really like this one. The only thing which jars, to me, are the orange reflectors on the bike. Don't know if you could tone them down easily?
I know what you mean, but as @Nod confirmed, it's really an essential part of the character of the place, for better or worse. Others who know Greece well tell me that the high tolerance for it is the result of being under dictatorship for many years, when graffiti was often the only means of protest. So I leave them in, on the whole.Another like from me, i'd be tempted to clone out the graffiti but that's just me.
Cheers Nod, and yes, it's a great colour palette, the yellows and that shade of terracotta, with a bit of white and blue...Shame about the graffiti but it's pretty much everywhere there. Love the colours in the old town, especially in the warmer (light!) hours.
Thanks George! And I agree, although I think it's an interesting question to explore where you find the boundary in these matters.Liking this Fujigraph very much Sir, good comp' and some lovely warm tones. I don't mind the graff' one bit as its just the way things are in the real world..
Thanks Peter, great to be hearing from you again. And yes, the kit lens works almost every time for me. On the last night, I did some street work after dark with a nifty 55 and the Lens Turbo, but other than that it was glued to my camerawOOw David, I adore the colours and content of this capture, sublime.....!!! That basic kit lens is simply fantastic!!!

Congrats on that Sir, or is the Jury still out on it ?
George.
My fling with the 60/2.4 is over Might try the 50/2 next...
I like the look of the 50mm myself. Have thought about trading out the 35 1.4 for one .... but I'd probably regret it.
I'm not honestly sure that I could ever swap my 35/1.4 out (unless I changed systems for some reason)
