Sicily 2

Some more photographs taken during a trip to the glorious island of Sicily. The camera was the Fujifilm X-E2 and the lens was the Fujinon XF18-55mm F/2.8-4 R LM OIS. Wandering through the little streets and alleyways in the ancient town of Cefalu, you are always going to find a picture. They virtually throw themselves at … Continue reading Sicily 2 →

Faded Warriors

I was concentrating on getting in close to the aircraft and taking abstract and … Continue reading Faded Warriors →
