[Leica] Beaches

Superb fuzzy beaches ;-)

My favs :

And

even though I would have attempted to get more of the close foreground  while losing a bit of the upper sky.

And the combo seems to deliver even though we can’t assess the AF of the 24-120 in the people shots (I used to have one in my D700 days and I loved its versatility - it was less tricky than other Nikon lenses ).

Keep them coming

Also, thanks for the warmth and sunshine - badly needed in our quarter these days.

Amities
Philippe, about to order one of these ND filters ;-)
