Fun with Sony Cameras 2023

[gurtch]

Sony A7RIV with 12 to 24mm lens. First shot at 12mm , second shot at 24mm. Both at f11, ISO 200. I am very pleased with this lens. I make big prints (20"x30"), and the lens is capable of rendering nice results at that enlargement. The dunes here bloom in autumn and are one of my favorite subjects.

I'm back from a trip to Saint-Petersburg. Here are the interiors made in 1710:

The tiles here are hand-made. Thus, they are all different. That how they used to do it in 1700's. By HAND)

Interesting tiles in those two rooms, several of them seem to picture Dutch scenes and look to be Delft Blue (or at least produced in the same style and colour)
I think in those times there were a lot of ties between the Netherlands and Russia, with especially Czar Peter I visiting frequently in the late 1600's. and early 1700's

Here's some more Delft Blue, but from a much later date:

The tiles are from Netherlands. And yes, Peter The Great spent some time in those interiors for sure!

Some more:

Peter The Great spent significant time in Netherlands during his 1,5 years journey around Europe. Here is his portrait made by Dutch painter around that time.
