Interesting and thanks for sharing. I'll keep pondering on a purchase because it really does look interesting, especially the old car. (My camera is m43).

If his nickname is any indication, I am guessing that Rich must date from build year 1942.
I've enjoyed your conversation, and thought that the egg image was very satisfying. Simple and elegant!
I absolutely am in love with this oldtimer car image.
It is the kind of image that you can only achieve with an ultra fast lens.
I own a Voigtlander Nokton 17.5mm F0.95 that I have used mainly in dimly lit documentary circumstances (backstage of a circus etc).
The lens is so fast that it is nearly TOO fast to use wide open in broad daylight.
It needs ND filters in those circumstances and I hardly bother with that kind of accessories.
You've given me some ideas for extended use: upclose portrait-type images of objects that have a painterly quality.
In other words : your image has sparked my desire to go out and shoot some images myself.
What more could we ask for?
The Spark 2.0 with more control, lol. Like I said before, I am shocked at how this reminds me of the Mikaton 50mm at f0.95. It's got such a close "feeling" to that, and this lens is a fixed f5.6.
You are right Mike, this photo was taken in Tasmania.
We were on our way home after a nice day tour.As if the gorilla were talking, I like the expression on his face.
Nothing distracts from the father (probably) and the baby, very good composition.Well done.
I like this photo.
Certainly some work was necessary, but the result makes it worthwhile.Interesting experiment, the vivid colors are immediately noticeable.
The color transitions are also extraordinary.
I would better preserve the facial contours of the subjects.Very nice photo.
Beautiful colors, very good composition.Like it a lot.
Reflections and colors: everything fits.I really like the full size photo.
So much traffic at sea, very well captured.Very good composition, I like the use of the red color as the main element.
The boy seems to have respect for what he sees on the wall.
Re-posted in new thread.
Rich,
This thread has winded down on Tuesday April 18 (Europe time).
I suggest you repost the image in the new edition for April 19 that I will start shortly.
RoelThanks, I will.
Rich
Well this is now an example of the confusion regarding this thread I'm in. Namely, I can't find the third version of the weekly CC thread, so I can't find where to start and after my eye surgery I see a little less (temporarily) but still like to follow the contributions that others post here. So where do I start and how do I find the weekly starting points and where do I find it ?
Thanks Lou
Jim and Andrew,
I was stuck in a loop in the second CC version and couldn't seem to get out. I'm curious how it goes in the fourth CC version. Anyway, thanks you both.
Lou
