Luna's smile in that first photo is so beautiful, it looks three dimensional! 😍

As for work, the first article of the Italian Constitution reads, "Italy is a Republic founded on work." Honestly I would have preferred it to be founded on happiness and love, but that's okay!

A huge hug!

Yes, the smile is captivating isn't it. A perfect reminder why cameras are important! Some smiles are worth remembering ;)

I totally agree, Sam! 👍
Some days ago I pulled out of the closet an EOS 450D that hadn't been used for years, because "it's more practical to shoot with a cell phone": the difference in results is abysmal! 😂

@samstonehill, I've been meaning to change cameras: what would you recommend I buy? (I now own a Canon EOS 450D)

I wish I was still 'in the game' and could give you up-to-date advice but that is very much not the case. I am still using a 5Dmkii which is basically an antique! I also had a 7D for a while which seemed like a decent low budged equivalent, but like I said it's been a while and there are likely many other options now. Mostly I would say it is about the lens. You can't get a good shot from a bad lens on a great camera but you can get a good shot from a bad camera with a great lens. My number one lens is a 24mm f1.4 which has a beautiful depth of field. Sadly mine has been broken since a certain baby dropped it from a balcony in Bali ;)

OMG, a lens balcony jump! 😱😂

I'm using this zoom and I find it practical.

Only I have doubts about image stabilisation on photos: in my opinion, it doesn't do any good!

Zooms are practical but the best lenses are primes. These permit lower f numbers and more depth of field. Your image stabiliser should be very helpful to you as a photographer. Perhaps it needs repair? This can happen when the lenses get old.

The other night I took several pictures of the full moon and didn't get a single decent one: maybe it's the simple movement of the mirror that I have to study how to prevent by locking it in position before the exposure?

I'll try to buy brighter lenses... thanks Sam for your interesting advice and thoughts!
