Thanks for the comment. Actually that shot of Buster the hound dog was taken at ISO 3200 and I brought out the highlights with post processing in LR5. One of the reasons I was attracted to the MM was it's low light capability. I have made many a fine image at 6400 ISO with this camera..

Apologies Steve. You sure know more LR5 than me. Great finish for such a high ISO image, even with the Monochrom. I should try some higher ISO stuff. I just got what I needed at ISO 1250 the other day: very unambitious of me.

50mm Dual Range Summicron, with close attachment. And a tripod.

Yep, that's close.

Nice selfie!

Unintended selfie , I didn't realize the reflection at time of exposure ... my focus was somewhere else.

I do like that reflection!

I had something similar last week near Blackfriars Road, and I waited for ages, but, just as it was settling down, every time, a car drove through, setting it rippling again. Ah well, maybe you had more patience than me, and that's certainly a photographic skill!

i did have to wait for cars, bikes and people. Thankfully the girl didn't move.

Nice - photographically speaking, at least! Meteorologically speaking, of course, not so much.

As it happens, it's rather like the weather that we're having in the UK at present, although - on second thoughts - even to mention this is no more revelatory than a reference to the habits of bears in the woods... 😉.

Actually my favourite type of weather to shoot in. That and cloudy days.

I agree - depending upon one's photographic objectives, and also one's own mood - but yes, I find that photography in rainy conditions can be very rewarding.🙂
