Thank you, Heinz. I shot it to make it look like a "layered cake" (unfairly); and it is. But, people are given a stable home. This is an old estate; the newer ones are more like they are "just for you".
Thank you. The advertisements are unrelenting and merciless. The main problem is not to bump into them. I set up the camera, and just waited to someone to hurry towards them.
Thank you, Heinz. Shot with HP5 in dim light. Tried to keep the highlight within bound, but sacrificed some lowlight (cans). Could have retrieved some of it, but I think it is OK without it.
Hand held - the D850 has an amazing sensor and when coupled with a Zeiss lens it is probably as good as full frame can get. This is literally the 15th image taken with the new D850 for me.
Thank you for being forgiving. I was using the IIIf with the Summitar 50, both over 65 years old, with 400TX. I would say, they are doing quite well, for their age.
The outdoor lights in this scene have just about every color temperature there is - from the yellow orange sodium vapor lights of the Tokyo Tower to the green blue of the mercury vapor street lights the the aircraft warning lights and the multiple colors of the neon signs - difficult to white balance a scene like this for sure - the M10 sensor is a definite improvement over the M240 series
Thank you. This is the wall decoration of the Buddy Hoagies cafe. May be, it had hope to attract more trendy crowds, but now are frequented by students who might be too young to know of those artists of the 60s, 70s.
Thank you. I am sure you recognise these old-time artefacts. The picture was taken about 9 pm. The lighting was subdued, as the shop was closing. Lucky. If the lighting had been stronger, I don't think I could get this milkiness.
Thank you. Fascinating to see how those kids are engrossed in examining the items appreciatively - like art-works. You can always find good pictures at this boutique.
This is a painture in the shop of the monastery of Kremsmünster. The real cup can bee seen with a guide, but it is not permitted to take photos of it. You willl find information in Wiki under Tassilokelch. It is a very old cup - from 777 (no writing mistake).
Thank you. I shot this inside Starbuck, Tri-X 400. Trying to catch their posture, I had to set up my IIIf, which is not easy to focus in a hurry, and waited. I am glad you like it.
This spot became the end station - in a double sense - for hundreds of thousands of people brought in from all over Europe. A vast number of people were dead on arrival, due to the extremely inhuman means of transport. You probably think I put the flower in there. I did not - it was waiting for me. Patiently . . .
Yes. Early before 6am, when the rain had just stopped. The sun had just started to peep out, but not enough yet to brighten up the trees. The reflections and the misty air added to the atmosphere. Good to be there, with/without a camera.
Thank you. This is a decorative bridge, as it is nice to walk over it, even though it isn't bridging over anything substantial. The IIIf is able to give more contrast, but I wanted it this way.
Thank you. I am glad you like this. I have often been charmed by this dump site. The darkening sky and subdue lighting are needed to show the site's character.
