Thank you for welcoming me and for your comments.
The diaphragm was as close as 22 (the closest on my Tokina), I understand that at the focal lengh of 12 mm you are going to get some diffraction into the picture, but it is the only way I know to get the sun star shaped without a filter...
No, my real home is Turin... Turin is where I have grown up and studied and where I live now... In the meantime I lived in Uppsala, in Hamburg and in London to complete my studies, many years ago (too many...)... Bari is where I was born, Aosta and Asti are just a few km away from Turin and I have spent most time there in the last few years...
In each place I lived I left a part of my heart and I took home part of what I am... I will always love Uppsala even if I am not been there in the last 17 years and the same is true for Hamburg and London...
Well, I think this is a quite complete introduction to myself, now I will let my images speak for me (this sounds a bit pompous, I didn't mean to... I apologise...).
