When 600mm F4?
Lol, at ~£12k a long time, a very long time.
Tbh, the advantage of F4 would be nice to have but it’s a huge heavy beast and the 200-600 isn’t too shabby for a LOT less money.
Excellent, is this so you can print half size pics of doggo?
Probably not even that scale 
Bit like getting a car for FoL 
He has a car. It’s not the Aygo I wanted tho.
A couple from the first day wandering the area around our hotel in Athens
What a fantastic place to visit Athens is. Big, brash, noisy and full of life in a way only med cities seem to be.
Also home to two of the best museums I’ve ever visited - the new(ish) Acropolis Museum is a remarkable building
Looks like a nice modern building until you realise the entire building sits over an excavation
and each floor has areas of clear glass flooring to allow you to see down - the effect is utterly amazing and thats before you get to the contents.
The Caryatids of Erechtheion
This originally had bronze pupils and eyelashes but due to weathering over time it has leached onto the face causing the staining - very arresting effect.
I ended up taking more photographs than I’ve ever done on holiday before so I’ll be boring the arse off you lot for a while yet.
Funerary Mask Of Agamemnon
Jockey of Artemision - quite breathtaking life-sized bronze statue (sorry for the shit photograph as it doesn’t do it justice)
Artemision Bronze - another breathtaking life-sized bronze sculpture
Statue of The Emperor Augustus - only part of a bigger statue where he was thought to be seated on his horse
This room in the National Archaeological Museum totally blew me away.
Most of the sculpted heads are of the same man and are around 3,000 years old but carved by different sculptors.
However these two in particluar are mind boggling - one is him as a young man and the other is him older but seen side by side the resemblance is startling.
I’m still gobsmacked by them even now.
As has been said in the Art thread - coming face to face with remarkable art you’ve only ever read about or seen in documentaries can be quite an emotional thing.
Acquired some ND filters and had my first go at long exposure shots of water. Here’s a couple of the least bad ones… But I certainly enjoyed myself and am looking forward to a trip to the coast to have a go at making the sea look ugly
Looks like Llyn Ogwen at the bottom there - do you know if she did any of the peaks round there?
No idea,will ask her when she is back
