You are one of a handful of photographers on this site whose work is instantly recognizable. (I mean that in a good way, of course...)

YOU ...
Leica M Monochrom - Canon Fd 1.2 55mm aspherical​

Hello Matt,
thanks for the great compliment!
Even though the picture doesn't quite fit the guidelines of this group,
it expresses the feeling I had reading your post.

A wise man once said "If the light sucks, your pictures will suck."

After a week of rain and heavy clouds, the sun actually appeared. There was light on the water, the fountain was lit up, I threw on clothes, grabbed the camera, ran outside and ... you guessed it - the light sucked. For the next few hours.

I know, I know, a real photographer sits hip-deep in the mud for three days waiting for the egret to stab that ... whatever fish egrets eat. Nevertheless, a not quite as wise man once said "new gear makes you a better photographer, because it gets you up off your butt to take more pictures."

The sun *did* come out once, but it wasn't anywhere nearby.
X2D, Mamiya 645 200/2.8 APO @f/8, 1/60 sec, ISO 64


This, BTW, is how NOT to shoot with the Electronic Shutter on the X2D. In case you were wondering...



Best,

Matt

... the not so wise man was right!

and he thought to himself, how would it be if every now and then an image was made available in raw, in which others would participate with their interpretation of an image.
but then it would have to be made available in raw ...

that way, everyone could learn ...

From yesterday's walk exploring old limestone quarries in the Leithagebirge hills, East of Vienna. In the foreground, the old but still functioning quarry that used to feed material to the historic "Baxa" kiln shown in the middle ground. In the background, you see the modern Holcim cement plant that is supplied from the much larger new quarry a few hundred meters to the right of where I was standing. As a novice IFC banker in the early 1990s, I spent a lot of time on privatisations of cement plants in Central Europe, so this view resonates with me for reasons other than purely pictorial. Shot on the IQ4150 back mounted on an XT camera, with a 70mm Rodenstock lens.
