Germany-Sweden 2:0

[Rona|d]

... drunken autofocus ... but what a wonderful overall bokeh ;-)))

... finally want to thank you for your patience and say, that cars and soccer is nothing compared to ....

on my way back home with my VESPA, thinking of a good tequila with the girls ...

[Rona|d]

... i nearly ignored this strange rollerblader ...

[Rona|d]

One thing is clear: This was only a test of the new forum-software - i hope nobody took this serious and clicked through my lousy photography ;-)

[Rona|d]

Over and out !

Hi Ronald, there are some nice shots there but I think as a collection they would have been stronger is you had edited them a bit more aggresively and posted what you thought were the best five or six.

Just my opinion.

[Rona|d]

Steve, with only five or six i could not test and stress the forum-software.
From the "art-side" you´re absolutely right.

cheers, Ron

[abrewer]

Fascinating series, Ron. The "thrill of victory" is apparent in each and every one.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing.

Ed, 4 years old small digital non-Leica consumer camera with tele-zoom.

p.s. no corrections except creating a smaller resolution for web.

[stunsworth]

Well now that you've proved that the software will accept non-Leica images perhaps you'd like to post some Leica ones ;-)

So, did Germany win, then?



Number 2 was the ultimate fantasy car when I was at school. "The Ultimate Cool Wagen"

Thanks for the reminder.

Steve, i definitely will, if Leica is willing to offer me an acceptable digital camera for my expensive M-lenses. Till that day, i cannot guaranty for some foreign shots ;-)

Andy, yes they made it.

My mum still has one of those in her garage (we bought the last as a new car back in ´79). We grew up with them, they are family members since decades. So it´s always a pleasure to see one driving.

Fishing for compliments, eh?

bring them on, no matter which lens. It's all about the fun.

(but mind you - after the tournament be serious again...)

[olaff]

some very nice shots, what a party.

best regards

[johnkuo]

Nice series to capture the mood on the street, leica camera or not. That M Roadster needs new tires soon!

[bindrar]

What - no Volvo?

What about a sound clip of the song "Swedes are going home... pack up your Volvos"

Anyway, there are some good looking German girls after all - but I still wish Sweden had won
