fantastic, Rob. Amazing that it survived the Holocaust. Is it the Ujpest or Dohany St synagogue (I just read about them on Wikipedia,  inspired by your picture)?

Thanks, Bags27. It is the Dohany Street synagogue in Budapest.  

Magnificent, particularly for synagogues which usually are much more understated. Here's the wikipedia site for those who might be interested in reading about it:  Dohány Street Synagogue - Wikipedia.webloc Should you be traveling to Hungary, there is a Jewish quarter that is definitely worth seeing.  

Prague, too, which was on our same itinerary has a superb Jewish section. The "old new" synagogue (top 2 photos), built in 1270, is one of the oldest remaining.Old New Synagogue - Wikipedia.webloc And, there is the old Jewish cemetery in Prague (3rd photo), which was a burial ground from 1400-1700, until legislation banned further land for Jewish burials, causing the burials to then have to go vertical, and hence the overcrowding. A compelling visit for sure.

Also, there's a magnificent synagogue in Amsterdam's Jewish quarter, the Portuguese synagogue, but that's for a later post as I seem to have run out of available photo space.  

Thanks for your curiosity. The Jews have a long storied history throughout Europe, always it seems cut short by the rise of anti-semitism in different countries. Similar stories too: The ruling class invites Jews to come to a city to help revitalize trade and to bring in professional classes - medicine and law. The communities live in ghettos and thrive for hundreds of years. Invariably, times turn tough for the locals - business cycles - and anti-semitism rears, the Jews are "blamed", targeted, and then are killed if they do not flee.  Nazi Germany committed, to take the murder to the next step, to eradicate forever the Jewish population, and was pretty successful with its efficiency in a very short time.

Very nice.  Can you tell us a little about the lens and lighting?

Thanks.....Macro Modus wide open (F2.8). There is no special lighting. The Sun was shining a little bit through the Leaves. I just subsequently
added a vignette (Darken & Lighten Centre)

Last Saturday we had a little trip with some family. Obviously....the Q was invited, so I took some informal portraits during a visit on a dairy farm.

Temperatures were chilly and no color to be happy about, so I opted for B&W. Both were taken with the 50mm crop mode.

Though....portraits are way out my comfort zone I am kind of pleased with the result. Hope you like them too.

Not so sure about that . . .  The portraits are superb!

The last two of this series. I just love the Q for her ease of use, ergonomics and output.The silent shutter lets you take pictures without the subject noticing it.

As I said before in another post...The 50mm crop is really useful and prints with the greatest ease, up to A3.

I know.....why not crop afterwards, but I like the framing lines when composing the image.
