I'm in New York for the week, first time ever.
Shot a 14 frame panorama on Wednesday from my friend's roof top, 28 cron vertical.
Shot this image a few hours ago at the "Tiles for America" wall near 14th St, 50 ASPH.

Brought the M8, 28 Cron and 50

Please please please don't take this the wrong way, but I find it interesting to see the places people visit when they go to New York. I grew up near the city and live there part time. But I have still not been to the Empire State Building, out to the Statue of Liberty, Chrysler building and so on. I have not been down to ground zero either...it just seems...wrong...and too close for me somehow.
It's not that I intentionally avoid these places, other than ground zero. It's just interesting where you find yourself when you live in a place and where you find yourself when you visit a place.

I happened to be walking by that fence of tiles in good light bro, I would have never intentionally sought it out. For example, since I never saw the World Trade Center pre-911 ( or ever ) , I will never go to what is called "Ground Zero".
As far as where else I went, this was a family-like thing with my girlfriend, she wanted to do this stuff w/ me so what ever we were to do, this was not a photo excursion, I don't do that to her. As a full time professional journalist, I will be going back for the Kodachrome Project and getting the real grit.
The best part? Coming home to a much better place than New York that is also very touristy: Aspen.

Ok, it sounds like you took it in the wrong way. I was not impugning your pictures, which are very good. Nor am I saying you shouldn't got to touristy places. They are usually touristy because they are worth seeing. I just wanted to comment on how different the places are that we go to in our daily life versus the places we go to when we travel.
For example, I now live in Iceland and when I was first visiting here, I of course went to the big tourist places like the Blue Lagoon, Jokulsarlon and Thingvellir. Now that I live here, I tend to go to different areas. They are not better or worse, just different.
The comment about ground zero is more personal for me and I am not saying others shouldn't go there. My father was there for the first trade center bombing and in a plane to DC the morning of 9/11 (luckily he was fine both times). My aunt had appointments in WTC I from 10:30 am until 5pm on 9/11 and the only reason she was not there is because she had a breakfast meeting uptown. My sister lived less than 2 miles away from WTC at the time as well and was trapped in the city when it happened, so it just hit pretty close to home for me. That's why I am not interested in going there...like I said, I have no problem with others going there.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed New York it has so much to offer! Here is a photo from my current, less populated neighborhood.
Actually, I think the neighborhood of Brooklyn that I live in probably has more people than all of Iceland...seriously.

it's just hide and seek
From a short four-day long trip via Cologne to Mallorca and back to Bremen.
The first photo is one of the doors of the cathedral of Cologne by night with long shutter.
The b/w-shots show the cathedral of Palma de Mallorca and a building in its vicinity in late october this year.
However, there I did not have a rangefinder camera yet. And they aren't made with a M8 of course😱:angel:
Comments are very welcome. 🙂

Just trying out the new Zeiss 18 on the M8. B+W 486 UV/IR cut filter, un-coded lens, post processed in CornerFix with a custom profile to remove cyan cast in corners and eliminate vignetting. Small sample image below and full size here.

Night in Brooklyn...unfortunately there are several filter reflections in the second one because of the IR filters...I won't do that again!
They were both the 35/1.4 ASPH I believe.
