OK - Here is My Go-Fast Toy  -  a Mazda RX8  - Shinka edition (only 2000 made in 2005) - 21,000 miles on the clock .. very sweet, smooth ride - no vibration at all with rotary engine .. only thing gone wrong in 12 years was leaky taillights which I fixed myself for $12.00 of goop and weather stripping.

Love that color, Rick. Is it a burgundy?  Your car looks pristine!

Hello!

Sorry to break up the beautiful auto pics. 

I've recently acquired a T, the sensor was/is a bit dusty. I (carefully) used a sensor gel stick to get most of the dust off, but I think I'm going to have to do a wet clean (wish me luck). For now, I'll just edit out the dust spots in Lightroom.

Anyway, I took the T out today with another new acquisition, a VC 12 mm lens (mark I, I believe, as it's an LTM lens). I wanted a wide angle lens for the T —I did buy a T lens, the 55-135 mm lens— and I got this beater 12mm VC for cheap. I call it a beater because it has one very curious feature, it doesn't focus. Meaning, that everything is in focus, well soft(ish) focus. Not tack sharp, but focused enough. Very strange. I thought it might be the fact that I was using an LTM lens on the T, but I tested out the camera with my VC 21mm (also LTM) and that combo focuses fine. I have yet to try the 12mm on my M9, but for now I'm just toying around it on the T. 

Here's a photo of some friends of mine here in Ankara. 

VC 12 mm. F 5.6, post-processed in Lightroom.

 

Cheers,

Santiago

The Meeting Place, St Pancras Station, London

 

This sculpture is 9m (that's nearly 30' in American) tall and greets arrivals from continental Europe when they come by EuroStar train to London. I didn't crop the people bottom left to give a sense of scale. That 11-23mm lens again because, unless you are through the barriers boarding or leaving a train, you can't get very far back.

Just posting a few shots from my trip to the Alpujarra Mountains in Southern Spain.

 

Many Many complications with the Leica T which I will post in the main section, but was lucky to get some of these images, due to frustration and anger, if it hadn't of been such a delight to compose and change the manual settings then I think it might have ended up in the bin!

 

My friend Ali chose to wear a daft hat, so I couldn't resist.

Bianco is one of the horses stable on the top of this mountain, I got a number of shots but was not able to replicate the light or her position again as unfortunately due to the camera this ended being shot as a .jpg

I kept coming back to this shot as I thought I could get more from it and once I was able to take it in raw I could then get the desired appearance

Again because of camera problems I kept going back to this in different light, it looks like an old dragon with the teeth sticking out from the lower jaw.

I think these ruins are up for sale for around €20K the views in the morning would be stunning, but the work involved would mean living there until finished, my friends did a similar thing and there home is now worth over €250K.

Apparently rocks being carried up into the tree trunks is quite common out there and indeed we saw a number of other trees with similar stones sticking out, the farm workers hate them as they blunt down the saws and cause the headaches.

I hadn't tried my polariser on the T before and this shot would have been so much better if I had managed to get the sun nearer to the 90 degrees.

 

We had suffered with a sand storm that had been carried up from the Sahara which was horrible, the light was not normal and almost scary, not the best for photography considering the height we were in the mountains.

Maybe try a B&W version?   Similarly with this ⬇️

We popped down the mountain to the nearest village about 7 miles away in Cadiar and I came across this gnarly old tree that you could see it pull faces at us.

The colours of the monument in the village centre just glowed when the sun could finally blast though.
