David,

that appears to be a great project. I like the shots I see, like them a lot!

Are you publishing a book, or will they be in an exhibition? Or both?



EDIT: 7,000th post! 😀


And, mr. or ms. Mod, can we pls have this thread as a sticky? It's the second-best posted AND read thread in the forum... 🙄🙄🙄🙄

 

[Davidhel]

Thanks Johan and congrats on your 7,000th post!!

No plans for these projects right now other than I want to keep adding to them and getting better I what I do..it's given me a lot of inspiration living in a new city for the last few years...the light in Melbourne is just beautiful...and the Elmar with the Leica has been a great combination for me!

Riva motor yachts on Lake Iseo

Riva motor yachts on Lake Iseo

These were taken in Italy last week with a Leica iiia and an uncoated 3.5cm Elmar. Lake Iseo is where the wrap artist Christo is planning his first project for a decade: 4.5km of golden, fabric-covered walkways linking the islands you see in the pictures. He is almost exactly the same age as my camera.
