Reflections and shadows nicely captured.

Nice colours, as I remember them. The venerable Star Ferry.

Thank you. I like to do selective focus. A bit of trial and error. Pardon the clumsiness sometimes.

However you see it, she is quite memorable - as this pic shows.

Hi mitresg,
It's about 1m/3ft or so. The most difficult thing to get used to are the long minimum focus distances of Leica-M lenses.

Must be very close to the tree.

I have been looking at it for a while. Still scratching my head. Very nicely done : to maintain interest in a repetitive pattern. You know. The middle column, slightly out-of-focus, seems to help emphasize the others. Talking nonsense?

Thanks for the kind words, n.w and mitresg.
N.W., this structure was build in 1894, I guess the Germans would not consider this a particularly old building.

Thank you. It was a make-shift shop, I liked those pictures on the wall. So, I lowered the camera to shoot upwards,

The Leica lens is good, but Sony ILCE-6000 did a good job too.

Sad to see fine old structures abused like this.

Thank you. My carpark, though grimy, offers many photo opps.

Thank you. I have done what I can to the bottom of the staircase.

Hehe. Thank you. 9pm. The regular shapes and the tonality made, even washing machines, quite a nice pic. I thought so, anyway.

Thank you. The evening sun lights up these back-alley walls well to reveal their texture.

Thank you. Shot at f2, only the centre of the front leg is focused. I prefer it less contrasty - more In repose.
