The 200-500 is not the comfiest of walk-around lenses, but it's nice to finally get out and grab some photos of the little things around this cold island.

Hope you enjoy

Here is a 425MB panorama made from 11 Z7 images, showing the context of the view.
Image is only 1000x400 pixels, was that intentional?
 
Continue playing with my Z6II. Trying to get to know this camera as much as possible so when I am able to travel again, hopefully I can capture some brilliant pictures.

Thank you!
 
Right at the end of our afternoon's walk we turned round and saw this. I'm loving the Z7 and 24-200 as a walkabout system.

Indeed it does!
 
I really like that second shot!
I have just bought the Z 85 1.8 lens, but haven't had a single chance to use it yet. Your shots make we want to get out and try some bokeh like this too, with it :-)
 
really nice!
 
A lucky break!
& a good set.

#3 is special , I like its simple structure, gentle curves in the land with their manicured green textured and a lone bright tree with an almost black background. Nice!
 
The 14-30 makes some nice sun stars, as seen in your image!

This camera is the only physical item I inherited from my father. He used it to document the life of our family. He still used the flash in the early 2000s. The photo he took is in my hutch and came out perfectly. Things certainly have changed since the early 1960s.

The Revue flash can be retracted and stored in its own little pouch. This brand was introduced in 1961 and produced cameras and accessories for the Quelle department stores and mail order business.

The Philips flash bulb is the only one I have but can still be found.
 
I was very excited to see your dad's camera. The camera below is my first camera. I received it as a gift when I was 12 or 13 from a close family friend (so close I call her Aunt to this day). In back is evidence to the habit that camera gave me. I used the camera from the '64 until I was stationed in Turkey in '72. Pictures from the Libyan desert to California, to Istanbul and Rome. While in Turkey I got a Olympus Spotmatic II that I traded for a Nikon FE.

Thanks for the excuse to drag my camera out. And thanks for waking up some great memories.

It sounds like you had a much more exciting life than my dad. We mostly used this camera for rare family trips. However, I still remember some of the photos that were taken - especially one with the other pride and joy of his life: a VW Golf. He had the first model which he bought in 1974 or 1975. My mother still drives the last one he bought.

It is interesting how you go from a simple camera to all kinds of memories because of the photos that were taken with it.

I hope you enjoy thinking about those that you took while being stationed all over the world.
