    Reflection
    Gibbs Gardens 230917 - 935.jpg

    Again, very pretty. The shadow detracts a little for me but then I'm a fussy so-and-so.

    I got very close to an eraser on a pencil and - with the help of a tiny Zeiss microfilm lens - was able to convince it to get rid of some of the redundant bokeh 😅:

    Erasing the stakes

    I did a 'field study', trying to create a painterly look, as is discussed in detail here.

    ... and tried to capture these balancing acts with one of the most unusual scanner lenses I've seen so far (it has an almost perfectly round aperture and is able to create bubble bokeh like a Trioplan, even though it's most likely a 6 element design:

    Again, superb work. It's the knife shot that pops for me, amazing.

    More from the village of Cromarty. The remains of an old Victorian church.

    Reflection

    This image makes me ask a question - does anyone have a guide about working with reflections?

    Not really, I just tend to use a curves layer on the reflection to pimp it a little, if necessary. And I tend to prefer the horizon centred.

    Fantastic shots - really well done! Are most of your shots done with tilt/shift-lenses? I seem to recall you mentioning one once here...

    Brick lane, a bit OTT PPing I guess but it made the colours pop.

    A very different Brick lane to the brick lane I saw in the early eighties.

    Colour saturation fits the scene.

    The Brick lane I saw

    Yours is definitely more interesting than mine. I wish I had a camera long time ago. I feel like I missed the golden era of street photography.

    I think you have something there. It was much easer to snap away back then, no privacy neurotics ever hassled me on my wandering around London. London was also a lot more gritty and interesting back when I did these shots.

    Some time ago I was shooting some architecture. Some woman passing by demanded to see what I had shot to make sure she was not in the picture.

    My sort of people.
    I believe if they're in public in the UK, they're fair game. Although, if they ask, I'll not use it. But not many people ever know when I take their pic as I shoot from the waist.

    Piacenza II

    Here are a few more pictures of my trip to Piacenza. Basilica di Sant'Antonino was the original city Cathedral, built outside the city walls. Much altered, the Romanesque origins are still mainly hidden under the Baroque makeover. The cloisters are a little oasis of peace and quiet.

    Great set. That 10th is bewildering architecture, like an Escher print.

    Sometimes a polarising filter helps.

    Usually I tend to place horizon in the center, but this time I wanted an image of the mostly reflection.

    I dont understand people's sensitivity to be in a photo. We became a paranoid society, everyone and everything is suspicious until proven otherwise. I seriously think to shift to landscape. I am worried that it will lead an altercation one day.

    Thank you.

    Most of these shots were done with my 24mm TS. It can easily be used hand held on my Z7 using the adaptor and the viewfinder level. I prefer to use a tripod when I can though. For travel, to shoot dark interiors, I have a carbon fibre monopod with feet which with the IBIS in my Z7 works really well

    I have always been interested in lens movements, and I once had a 5x4 with full movements. Horrific costs to feed it with film though.

    I see you often involve people in your shots, probably a better way to avoid confrontation. No do not stop your street stuff, you are very good at it.
