Thanks so much.

Vince, this rocks! Great shot and great tones captured...

I totally agree. Talk about the light..... WOW....

Nice series Ashwin!
Klaus - I really like that set with the live music!

Yes agree.

And Dirk I keep going back to your shot of the little boy on the motor bike and the guy smoking. Very interesting series. Rock'n stuff....

Ashwin, Dirk & airfrogusmc,

thanks a lot for your comments, very much appreciated.

Have I mentioned how much I love this camera 😀 ?
For me it is a total GAS stopper, just using it as much as I can in this NY metro area where there is something to photograph at every corner, this is such a joy.

Just strollin' around in the greatest city ...

and something SFX processed (which I usually don't do):

I enjoyed the set. New York + Monochrom, what can be better?

Great thing about this thread is, that once you leave it for a while and turn back, lots of inspiring stuff has happened ;-)

I like that shot with the woman and girl on the bench a lot Ashwin - nice series!

Dave, is that a Toyota MR-2 under the skin of the second car?

Here is some with the 50 E46 and 28 Cron:

Michael, I like the shot! ^^

Dirk, as usual the series is superb. The portrait of the soldier is my best of the bunch. Re: the car - I wasn't able to spot any logo on the car, it's probably a MR-2 or a BMW.

Nothing too exiting but these old vehicles stood out from regular NYC traffic :

Ain't that Kojak driving the first car?

I have to do a 200% crop, maybe I can see the lolly 😀.

Thanks Dave!
Allen, I love the two frames with man and woman around stairs as a diptych - great fit!
The smile of the lady, caught with her mobile is so genuine - she would be great for a few portraits!

I don't have an M Monochrome, don't even particularily want one, but man, I sure do enjoy this thread!

Thanks to all,
