This weekly thread is principally intended for you to showcase your photos made with Canon cameras of all sorts: SLR, DSLR, Mirrorless, M-series, APS-C, film, etc. But any brand of camera will be accepted, including photos taken with your phone. We do enjoy reading an accompanying text explaining your photo and any special techniques you may have used. Comments and helpful criticisms on others' photos are also welcome: we can all learn something from each other. We look forward to seeing your contributions and new participants to this series of threads are always welcome!
A new thread for the following week will be posted next Saturday around 10 pm UK time.
Digirame and I will be active here and are sharing the hosting, but we are used to all joining in and commenting on others' photos.
Review of last week
Only one page of photos this last week. I am hoping that our usual members are in good health and merely preoccupied with other things!
I kicked off with a return to the interesting building I found earlier in the month. I was not totally happy with my new result for two reasons: the narrowness of the street made it impossible to get any real perspective on the five-storey building. This meant that the side decoration was not visible, as it was in the earlier photo, and the effect of the overhanging top of the building was lost. It is, however, a remarkable design, though I havent been able to decode the meaning of many of the symbols used to decorate the left and right hand edges. These clearly had significance for Wihelm Stiassny the designer, who lived in the building between 1901 and 1910, the years of Jugendstil.
Digirame's spring is well advanced and gave him the opportunity to show a variety of beautiful blossoms in full bloom. The moon even obliged for him during the day.
Dunlin also produced beautiful blossoms, and showed us that the free to use Darktable program is well worth investigating for processing of raw files. He also caught a bee in action
Later in the week I took the train and a long tram ride to an appointment on the outskirts of Vienna, and found things I dont normally encounter. Another trip to the Mazda dealership produced pictures of the Mickey Mouse special edition Vespa scooter (!) and shots of the Hauptbahnhof/shopping mall.
And that was it folks for this last week -- apart from interesting comments and a brief discussion of Darktable. I shall probably not be able to photograph much this week, so we rely on YOU!
