A couple more from my walk around London yesterday. I love the way the old and new are juxtaposed in London. This is St. Vedast Foster Lane, not far from St. Paul's. M9 + 50mm Summilux, f/5.6, 1/400s, ISO 160.



And then I just couldn't resist the primroses. M9 + 50mm Summilux, f/1.4, 1/250s, ISO 160.

Jeff, I needed these! I think we are up to 6 inches of rain in Boston! Wonderful color & selective focus!

So, on Sunday I decided to do a walk around the west side of the City of London to photograph some of the many churches designed by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of 1666. There were 87 parish churches burned in the Great Fire, and Christopher Wren and company rebuilt 50 of them, as well as St. Paul's Cathedral. The architecture is very distinctive, and yet each church is unique. Many were burned out in the Blitz, but most of those were rebuilt again. Here's three shots of St. Bride's, off of Fleet Street. The steeple of this church was the model for the modern tiered wedding cake.

Jeff: Beautiful images. That's make a great series. I can see a big advantage to being in London by yourself with some spare time.

Knorp said:
Hoi Jaap,
didn't see that particular truck last time, although I do recognize the text :confused: Good shot !
BTW - if you decide to go Friday and you find this board, please write down a message with a piece of chalk and then make a picture of it ! Too bad I couldn't find any chalk ...
Kind regards,
Bart.

Knorp: Love the selective focus. Is there really a pub there?

A couple from the weekend. Experimenting with post processing.
Anyone care to explain the angular cut on a couple of the OOF lights?

boymerang: It's a faded color photograph. Not sure it works for me. But, that's just me. The angular cur is weird!

Dierk: You actually used a Leica to take that first photo? Very cool.The Leica purist in me really likes the last shot with the striped shirts.

Here is a strange little portrait, catching a friend in thought...a little zombie like, but I like it. I probably like it BECAUSE it is a little zombie like...

M9, 35/1.4 ASPH at 1.4, 1/15th, ISO 1250. The M9 sure does low light a lot better than the M8 did! This was with no luminance noise reduction.

Stuart: Like the portrait and the look.

Woody: Elegantly simple image. Well composed with a lot to look at.

Jeff; One of my favorite churches. Nice images.

Steve: Nice treatment to the photograph image. Really evocative of the era of the portraits (based on her hairstyle).

Ashwin: You've been wandering around Fremont. Your selective focus and PP really distills the essence out of the subject. Nice.

Cheers, Matt (Geez this turned out very long. I'm going to have to quit my day job!)

By the way, Matt. I missed that you took the picture of the dog in the window. Awesome stuff. Was that at Pike's place?

By the way, great seeing you at your workspace today! Thanks to GetDPI!

Another church from my Sunday walk; in all I think I photographed seven or eight churches. This is St. Clement Danes. It's now an RAF chapel/church, and was repaired after being burned out in the Blitz. They actually left behind shrapnel damage on the exterior of the church as a reminder of the Blitz. There has been a church of some type on this site since the 9th century, when the Danes ruled much of England.

Imposing when standing at the entrance (I think that was the point). M9 + 21mm f/2.8 Elmarit-M ASPH, f/5.6, 1/1000s, ISO 160




Interior, M9 + 21mm f/2.8 Elmarit-M ASPH, f/2.8, 1/24s, ISO 160. Note the tiles; each black one is a regimental emblem from the RAF.



Shrapnel damage from a Nazi bomb in the Blitz. M9 + 21mm f/2.8 Elmarit-M ASPH, f/2.8, 1/24s, ISO 160.



If you stand back, you can see where the bomb fell based on the pattern of the shrapnel damage. Now that I think about it, that last one may have worked better as a B&W image, but I'm not much of a B&W guy. :D

Matt, I took that picture in Western Australia, near my house at a beach called Iluka. Thanks for your compliments :) Really like the contrast in your 35/1.4 asph shots, reminded me how good that lens is, and makes me want to go shoot with mine!

@Jaap, wonderful still live

@Steve, thanks. Yes, it is getting warmer now

@Ashwin
thanks a lot
great B/W shots from your weekend, I like the selective DOF of the wide open Leica lenses and the way, you use it

@m_driscoll
You actually used a Leica to take that first photo? Very cool.
Click to expand...
thanks, yes, it was the Leica Macro-Elmar-M 90mm f/4
here is the image with full exif and here an other one like this (the aperture is wrong, was f/22


This one is painted with light
that means:
camara on a tripod, shutter on 8 sec (I never needed B), ISO automatic off, lights off
after starting the shutter, I use a pocket lamp (normal works best for me) and 'paint' the light over the object from different positions

I found this technic at Emil Shild, he does it with large format cameras!
Pictures like a dream, here is his site have a look


Leica Macro-Elmar-M 90mm f/4
