Is it me, or are those last 2 photos out of focus?

It's not you. Most are out of focus, either because of subject movement, too slow shutter speed or other focus errors. Too bad, the group could have been enjoyable.

They are way better than no pictures at all for us far away.
Thanks for the effort.

It's my shuter finger and slow shutter speed, sorry.

This comes between 3 and 4.

Haruo, they are fine, and of a pretty subject.  I can sympathize with forgetting how to use the camera.  After my last stroke I had the same problem.  In those circumstances we have to be re-educated and sometimes it still doesn't come back.

If you had read the OP's explanation in the first paragraph of his post, you would have KNOWN why the pix were "out of focus." So tired of the complaining when the explanation they were looking for was right under their nose!

Thank you for sharing these. :-)

Haruo, the one on the bridge reminds me so much of a shot my Dad took of a C&S narrow gauge locomotive in 1945 when he was an 18 year old soldier. It was blurry also, and has that same feeling of urgency as your shot. Funny what jogs memories. Thanks for posting those Sir.

Cheers, Dave

Nice pix hope to get over there around Memorial Day this year, hey guy about that focus problem, my right eye has been out of it for twenty years just glad one does most of the time.  And to tha author we enjoyed your pix, got one of them new cameras that auto focus as never could get good shot without it.
