Hello John,

 

Inspiring admission in an unusual city. Liberating the area on the large roads. One cannot so at all experience that in such a way in the “old world of Western Europe”. Here everything is so close and in the heads continues it lively.

 

Kind regards

That really is one that people will want to hang on the wall - for me, I would have loved the crop to be maybe a millimetre higher at the top and a millimetre up at the bottom but that doesen't detract from an outstanding and colourful shot taken in the most difficult of circumstances. I particularly like the photographer's shadow in the centre.

 

Really is exhibition / bookcover / signed print stuff.

Thank you everyone for your kind words.

 

Actually as a habit now I do not post the camera or details because the "text" can be "moused over" even before you open this post. That I think is wrong and unfair, people will comment based only on the "camera used"..that I find faulty as well..so hence my reticence.

The shadow is actually a woman waiting for the crossing light, this is a 2 minute exposure so she appeared as a shadow.

The camera and lens and film is/ Leicaflex SL/ R 35mm F2.8 Elmarit with a Leica Circular polarizer to "cut out " the glare. The film is Kodak T(tungsten) 100 exposed at F22 for 2 minutes plus an umbrella braced against my body, it otook every ounce of my effort to keep the tripod from moving in the stormy weather.

Robert the " Exposure Gallery" is already considering this one as a candidate..so your right on that one.

 

 

Regards, Leicamann

John, I understand you reticence. Strange as it may seem there are people who have more interest in how a photograph is produced than the photograph itself. There are people who have no interest in a digital photograph no matter how good it is, and I'm sure there are people who feel the same way about photographs created using film. Personally I think this is bizarre, but I suppose they are entitled to their opinion.

 

But, even so I would like you to include the equipment details in the images, it gives us all something to aspire to ;-)
