Thank you. It is a stylistic tree, which I have been eyeing for a while. The difficulty has been trying to isolate it.

Thank you. It is the simplicity.

M8 colour is quite natural - at least, from what I can remember about horses.

Thank you. These two ladies had been engaged in conversation for quite a while. I was trying to catch a right moment to shoot, but was afraid to disturb them. As you can see, I shot a table-top level. But, fun though. The M6 allows me t catch it right.

Thank you. I like to do B&W landscape, but it is a bit of a dilemma for me. I was standing on the road, about 6 feet from the grass, crouching to get an upward shot.

Escher couldn't have done better.

Thank you. This is a B&Yellow pic.

Thank you. I like to try B&W in landscape. In this, my job has been made easier by the brightness and the slight variation in distance. I don't think I shot at f4, but at f2.8, to maintain some perspective.

Thank you. The background is as it was. I was fortunate to have the sun, to enable the tree to stand out.

I got that lens for £10 at a 'Car Boot Sale' here in England. It is marked 'made in Japan under licence from Carl Zeiss Jena. '

Thank you. I had noticed the large lamps, and the wall decor, powering and crowding on the student. She couldn't care less.

Thank you. Remnant of overnight revelry. Yes, I had to open wide, and shot at ISO1600. Seems OK.

Thank you.This is the "modern" chinatown, cleaner and tidier. In the old days, when we walked on the pavement, we had weave around hawkers at our feet, and sometimes, would sit on a stool for a snack.

Hehe. It was a lonnng staircase; and the climb had been slow. So, I had plenty of time to prepare for it. Yes. he (??? never saw it) made a diff.

The subtil human presence makes this picture extra intrigant.

Thank you. I feel sorry for her. Later, more things will be hung up; she would be even more shielded and ignored. Not at one time in the past, though.

Thank you. It was her body posture that attracted my attention; of course the background wall-paper too.

Thank you. The shadows were from the sunroof above. Someone, showing just the head, was climbing up a long staircase.

Thank you. I don't recall it swaying. There was very little wind, in fact. Maybe it was my unsteady hands ;-)
