Looking and Learning

[kaptain pip]

Hello All

Been lurking and learning for some time now and decided it's time to post a few. First off, want to say what a joy it is to take a pause from the digital madness for a breath of fresh.

Wanted to share this pic taken with a scratched, slightly hazy 90f4 collapsible Leica. Shows to go ya, it doesn't have to be perfect glass to make a pretty pic. comments welcome and more goodies to follow.

Welcome Phil. Nice Leica look to your photo's. What part of the world are you from? The houses look central European. Austria maybe?

I'm in Bad Kreuznach Germany just next door......

Welcome Phil.

I like the roof lines, and would love to be there to shoot a series of them. Looks like a place with a lot of potential.

Are these shots recent? I thought you had 2m of snow over there!

Didn't get 2m snow, but more than we've seen in several years. Here's something a little more recent.

Interesting perspective. Do you pilot helicopters?

You´re right. Defects in glass surfaces show mostly for example in strong backlight situations (lens flares etc).
