Of the 41 countries that I have visited this country is the most picturesque. It is home to Dubrovnik, called the "Pearl of the Adriatic," and Zagreb, the nation's capital. With so many points of interest, light, compact photography equipment will significantly increase your mobility if you hope to get everything packed into a single day. Although it is a mirrorless interchangeable single-lens camera, the lens is equipped with a 10.7X high-power zoom function, so I was able to photograph almost everything with this single lens, without replacing it with another.

For some reason, people always strike up conversations with me at my travel destinations. And I photograph them. Recently, I have realized that photography equipment is a surprisingly good tool of communication. When I show them what I have just taken, they are surprised at the photos of themselves taken from a variety of angles of view that they had never imagined were possible from such a small lens. This leads to new connections in a foreign land.

The photographs published here were taken as I walked about Croatia accompanied by a Micro Four Thirds standard Tamron 14-150 mm (Model C001) lens. I would like to recommend this high-power lens designed in accordance with new standards, not only because the evolution of photography equipment comes to fruition in the deepening of the artistic work, but also from the desire to give further joy to people.
