Leica M10 + Leica 75mm f2.5 lens.  Taken during a short hike at sunrise in Central Coast, California.  A sailboat, gently parked in the bay.  I also took a Leica MP with B&W film, have to wait a week to see those results!  Beyond the beautiful spot, it was fun alternating between digital and film, color and monochrome.

Seeing the Atom Heart Mother LP there reminds me of my teenage years. There is an incredible amount of music available nowadays to listen to (and watch) via various streaming services – it really is a great time to be interested in music – but I wouldn't want to change my own experience of growing up with vinyl and the comparatively limited amount of music I had access to. Buying an album was a serious investment and, I'm sure like everyone else then, I used to pore over the cover, lyrics, personnel details, etc. whilst listening to the album from end to end.

Lovely.  Like a painting. 

I like this photograph too.

But I'm averse to the idea that "like a painting" is a high complement to a photograph. Seems to imply that painting is a higher art form, to which photography should aspire and match. An approach that really went out of date 100 years ago.

Photography is its own medium, and is good or bad on its own terms, not on how it conforms to the values of some other medium. And many of the greatest photographs look nothing like a painting.

It's a bit like saying "What a handsome man - he almost looks White!"

I disagree about the inevitable implication of subordination. One might equally say "Vermeer: almost like a photograph" with absolutely no disrespect to him. Photography, broadly speaking, has an understood aesthetic, and ditto painting. When one seems to "look like the other," it's just a (admittedly, rather crude) way of interpreting it.

I don’t think my comment implied one was better than the other.  Just that his photographic interpretation departed from literal in a way that I liked very much and was more commonly seen in painting than photography (at least to my experience).

The implication of one form being “better” was neither stated nor implied (by me).

so sehr ich natürlich gelassene Aufnahmen schätze, könnten diese beiden Prachtstücke noch etwas Feintuning vertragen.Das ganze Potenzial der M10 kommt, finde ich, gar nicht zum tragen 

Sorry, I don't speak German!
