Thank you. Lucky to have those table-tops for contrast. It was early morning, about 6.30 am. Thus, ISO2500, about 1/30 sec, I think.

Thank you, Heinz. The architecture of this mall is well, amazing. The outside facade is equally amazing. Remember what Dorothy said about Oz - "must be a powerful wizard to live in a place like this!"

Thank you. The muted colour is natural, from the M9. I think the only thing I did was to bring out the red slightly.

Thank you. B&W sky? There is a moody charm in this, a feeling of melancholy. I think.

Wow. What lurks in those woods? Great shot !

Thank you. A B&W picture has no bias towards dirt and grime.

Thank you. There were cooks from China running around in front; waited for a chance to shoot the bamboo dim sum containers being steamed. Kept to f1.4 to isolated them. Not too bad - showed the texture well enough.

Thank you. Chinatown is Chinatown - lighting is optional. My M9 was stretched - held my breath, held the wall. Not too bad, I thought, at ISO 2500.

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. '
