In the spirit of the lamp image in post #1705 above, is this picture taken a few years ago (M9 and Summilux 50 pre-ASPH).

And come to think of it, here are two pictures that form a two-page spread of my Paris au rythme de Basquiat and Other Poems book project. This two-page spread is part of one of the book's nine chapters, called "What's in a Haiku?".

 

M6: left with the Summicron 50 and Tri-X , right with the Summilux 50 pre-ASPH (statue in the Louvre)

I wanted to get away for a while from wide-angle lenses, street photography and photographs that tell story, and go to just form and light and the emotion that they might create; and from the horizontal shots that are induced by processing images on a computer screen that shows them better than vertical shots. Not sure that this will last or take me anywhere.

 

M10 | Macro-Elmar-M 1:4/90mm | ISO 6400 | f/4.0 | 1/125 sec

 

I like this image, it has everything going for it.   Vertical format, you're right, that's food for thought.

I admire these „no nonsense“ fishing vessels and the people who still go out to sea from European harbours despite diminishing returns, for the reason that it is what they and their ancestors have been doing for hundreds of years. OK I admit to being a romantic.

 

A few years back, during a family holiday, I would sneak out day after day to take photographs in Breskens harbour, The Netherlands. I took way too many pictures there, but I simply couldn‘t stop, and I felt the strong urge to visually preserve what is left of that tradition.

 

Some of these pics are M9, others N...n so that I just post the link for those who share a foible for fishing boats:

 

 

The caption to the series translates as „Hommage to the Last of Their Kind“

Vielen Dank für`s zeigen. Leider werden wir die kleinen Fisch-Trawler nicht mehr lange sehen können. Aber auch die Schleppfischerei in Küstennähe hat ihre Nachteile.

Natur geht vor. Gut so.

(Just to be fair, since this is part of the international forum, I will give a rough and unauthenticated translation of jellyfish‘s post:

 

„Alas, we will not see these little trawlers for long. But dragnet fishery in coastal waters definitely has its ecologic downsides. Nature should be the overruling concern. That‘s a good thing“)

And now for something completely different : As this is an image thread, I opened a new one here:

https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/281781-black-white-viewing-filter/?p=3460719

Yet since it concerns black & white photography, I think that a link to my question might be justified here in the b&w foto thread...
