I love them all, but the first makes me stop and think. It is such a unique monument/sculpting; but yet, it strikes me, as something that has been discarded, like an old couch someone has placed at the curb. It makes me wonder if that is part of the intention in the placement. Brilliant capture.

 

Best regards,

 

Wayne

 

Suede , I agree with Wayne... the statue in picture 1seems like real 

and the vanishing line in picture 2 is great

Thank you

Thanks Henry.
On that very hot day the sun burned hard shadows on the walls.
 
Indoors - and on less sunny days - I prefer the Summicron 50mm on Leica IIIa syn.
Here a photo of my beloved Rhodes piano on Kodak BW400CN.

Thanks Wayne,

 

true about the unnecessary mentioning of the gear used . Yet sometimes I really like to know which rare folder or body you're using as the Angenieux lens or the 1930s Hektor 5cm add their magic or I'll try a - new to me - film stock ...

 

Best, Jean-Marc.

 

I think the thing I like most about your photography is the fact that I never wonder what camera, film, lens is used. I mean, they, the tools, are interesting aspects of all the photos on this forum, but with your shots, they seem of no real consequence.......Compared to the subject matter.

 

Best,

 

Wayne

Thank you

CHANDIGARH

 

"Let this be a new town, symbolic of the freedom of India unfettered by the traditions of the past...an expression of the nation's faith in the future," famously said Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of independent India. 

 

When India was partitioned, the state of Punjab was cleaved with its then capital Lahore falling into the territory of the newly-formed country, Pakistan. The state of Punjab which remained with India needed a new capital and the idea of Chandigarh was born. India won independence 70 years ago, so Chandigarh is a relatively new city. It lies 240 km north of New Delhi, near the foothills of the Himalayas.

 

Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, a Swiss-French architect (better known as Le Corbusier) was awarded the job of designing its plan and over see its execution. It's a somewhat special city by contrast to the way most other cities grow unplanned in India.

 

I was there for 8 days in early May 2016. Daytime temperatures typically hang around 39- 44 ºC and the intensity of the light is blinding. I shot a number of photos in that merciless sun; many are over exposed but fortunately not all. I share some here.

 

Sector 17. I just looked at this picture in detail and am astounded that the only sign of life in it is the crow atop the building! I've lived in Chandigarh and around for over 30 years but have never known this commercial area to be so deserted.

@Henry, off topic:
Oh yes, warm and somewhat embellished sounds of tube amplifiers for relaxed listening in the living room.
Since I even got a CD player in tube technology, I prefer the playback of well-mixed CDs and think the discussions per Vinyl contra CD are a little bit nostalgic.
If anybody really misses the crackle of used vinyl records, he should ignite his cozy fireplace... - just my 2 ¢. :)
And the quite harshest jazz fans still want to hear ancient jazz recordings by their shellac-records with 78rpm. :D

You make great picture with only your Minilux James

Color is beautiful with this Agfa ... I think rebadged Fuji

Best

Henry

 

 

I think you are right, it should be a rebadged Fuji slide film. I had to switch the picture, as I didn't nail the white balance in the first version. Now the tiles have the colors I have in memory from using this underground station for years.

Grand Canal, Venice, from the Rialto bridge. It interests me that there are no modern boats visible, a rare event on this part of the canal. This picture could have been made at almost any time. XP2. 50mm.

The combo Minilux + slide film is also not bad for scenes with different artificial light. Here from the well known "STÄV" at the river Spree:

Artworks-in-progress randomly lie littered on a part of the campus.

No believe me , the sound is better in vinyl than with CD no agressity and with relief

exactly like film with the image  :)

 

Hi Fidelity of sound and High Fidelity of image > same fight ! :)

If you live near us , I invite you to come to listen in my auditorium .. I have a friend teacher in

Regional Music Conservatory who compares with me vinyl and CD , for him no doubt

vinyl has a better sound !

I like to listen John Lewis in piano or Percy Heath in bass and specially Connie Kar drums

a pure music listening ....

Best
