experimenting with different angles

I used the Gopro on vacation to get a light weight camera in addition to my 5D with the 50mm.
It allowed me to get a wider angle and also the ability to go underwater with it.

I loved the versatility but I have a few issues: The battery life is very limited. Especially if you are on a trip without access to an electrical socket for a few good hours.

but for the size and weight it's an amazing little camera. It handles the light well, as I sometimes like to shoot against the sun, it freed me to shoot in the water without worrying about moisture.

it takes some learning, but all in all I like it.

a decision to utilise the cameras I have and to travel light I opted for the Canon 5d MK2
+50 mm lens.

It's the basic set up. We used to have only 50mm lenses with our nikon/canon film cameras. So it sort of a TBT.
I often say it's the only lens you really need. If you want landscape - you go far, if you want a portrait - you come closer.
Simple.

Also - you have no noticeable lens distortion, it's very clear and silent.

 I loved visiting Crete for the third time.
Every time I discover something a bit different .
Beaches, landscapes, sunsets, ancient ruins, old villages, old people
Olive oil, clear water in the sea.

The light, the light in the morning and in the evening is simply magical .

portraits

Portraits have always been a very important part of my work.
Portraits are about people (usually) and about connecting.
I try to photograph people that are intriguing to me, that I can have an interesting conversation and interaction with.
