Too far away with the wrong lens, cropped way down, IQ sort of sucks. But, these dairy cows were very amusing, curious, and loud. Thanks for looking. Cheers, Matt

Like the symmetry & processing Matt! What lens would you have preferred?

rayyan: Excellent capture! This is a photo to emulate: glass wall leads the eye to the apparent subject, which is out of focus twice, and then you discover the in-focus truck and courtyard! Well played. Cheers, Matt

rayyan: +1. I like that you've pulled back and picked up a bit of her context (and her goats). Film-like quality. Cheers, Matt

rayyan: Great, sitting at a sidewalk cafe, grabshot! Color and composition's perfect. Quick focus too, only the last lady noticed. Switzerland? Cheers, Matt.

Nice slice of life Rayyan! Like the movement,color & people locked in the hustle! Excellent Street Rayyan!
Steve: Thank you. Grateful for your kind words.

I find the similarity of expression and posture between the two ladies very amusing....like they are of singular mind.:thumbs:
Cindy: I agree. can imagine them saying...' cynthia walk quickly and don't look
at that funny looking guy..gives me the creeps ! '.

thank you all.

Ashwin: +1, +1. I like the way that lens draws. It doesn't have the razor sharpness of the newest Leica lenses; but, it has that "Leica" character. The color head profile's very cool. Well done! Nobody told you to get a "real" camera? Cheers, Matt

ps: Also like the headquarters of the evil empire photo and the crushed cans. Is there meaning to pairing these two photo's?
Ashwin: +1, +1. Really well done!

Just wanted to drop in and say hi! Great images coming in since I last visited -

I'm currently up to my ears in computer problems and will be off line for awhile till I get everything back in order.

Great images everyone. I returned to the same old ground and subject just different lens and recording medium.

I'll comment on all of the recent wonderful images uploaded over the past several days a little later when I have more time.

In the interim, I'd like to post a few images taken at a large immigration rally held in Milwaukee earlier in the day. No matter how you feel about the subject, it's a powerful experience to stand in the middle of the street and document the emotions of people of all ages and sizes as they pass in waves in front of you.

@ Kurt: Another, absolutely fantastic set, turning the mundane into magic. Are you down in parts south in US at the moment, with all of that immigration debate, or is this happening in Wisconsin as well? You have done it, my friend, by the way...I have sold off a couple lenses and have close to enough to afford a f/0.95....any thoughts on whether I should keep or sell my 50 summilux asph?

@ Matt: THat tulip shot is processed and rendered to perfection! I understand if it's a family secret, but I was curious about how you achieved the effect. Almost has a burnt sienna look about it...

@Rayyan: More special captures from you....I love the angles you take, and the diversity of your shots...

M5-Guy/endre/ashwin: Thank you all!

Ashwin: I'll have to look at the photo and see if i can tell how i processed it. Usually, it's tweak in Lightroom2, little bit of noise reduction in Nik Define 2.0, then to Lightzone or Nik Efex Pro 3.0, or both, then back to Lightroom2, apply very little sharpening in Nik Sharpener Pro 3.0, back to Lightroom2, a couple more tweaks and then export as a 5-6 mb jpeg for posting. It'd be nice if all of the steps were recorded as an action that you could repeat (it is on a computer for Pete's sake!). In Lightroom 2 you can replicate the steps and settings. It's the external processors that create the big unknowns. Pretty much "season to taste" and starts with the WB in Lightroom 2. I, of course, often trash what i just did and start over. :lecture: Cheers, Matt
