Fun w/Digital M Images

[Vivek]

Thanks for the ' likes ' folks...

Are you a street photographer, Rayyan?

Ya, I said. And added hastily..' What's a street to you?'


Now to dig up them snaps from Amsterdam!

Aside from all lovely the tourist snaps, I would love to see some pictures from your neck of the world. Yesterday, I saw a clip on BBC with all the youngsters doing crazy stunts with cars (and several taking snaps with their DSLRs) in S.Arabia. Looks like a great subject to me.

Link to BBC: BBC News - Saudi drivers in 'sidewalk skiing' craze.

Thank you Amin. That's a very dramamtic shot with the Biogon. And, wow, that horizon completely distortion free

Thanks, Edward. I've never been one to care a lot abut a little barrel distortion, but this lens is spoiling me. It is nice for straight lines to remain so perfectly straight!

Vivek, I shall try and dig up some; but no promises.

BTW, S. Arabia refers to some place other than where I reside. My home is in Saudi Arabia.

Best.

Vivek, I found some at hand...

From the car...

I have been a resident in the place below, not too long ago..

A roundabout..a very big one..

Apologies, but they are not Leica shots.

 

[rayyan]

Looking forward to "them snaps from Amsterdam".

Love this shot... very timeless quality here. :clap::clap::clap:

Thanks a lot Lloyd.:salute:

Regards to Mimi and yourself.

Thanks a bunch folks for the ' likes '. Very much appreciated.

For the Opera lovers amongst us. Ayesha bought the ticket. I excused myself.

I still have not figured out if an opera is a musical or what. In any case, I have a hard time figuring out what friends are saying in a foreign language...

But do you all follow what the opera singer/s ( ? ) actually say? It remains an art form that has eluded me thus far; and it is too late now anyway..

I did ask Ayesha what the performance was all about. ' It was in Italian ' she said.

 

[rayyan]

I went in. I was the only one!!

Beautiful. I sat till another person walked in.

Resorting to gimmicks for the next few posts. Shooting my MM in infrared. R72 filter on 35mm Lux FLE. IR focus shift for this lens is near nill but shooting at f4 to give myself a little cushion on focus. 1/60 or 90 to handhold. This works out to about ISO 5000 in daylight. Here we go (on the golf course today):

More. In the end these are a little mundane - most extreme IR images are indistinguishable from each other.

Same setup on less obvious subjects. In a few of these I've used fill flash. These seem much more interesting to me.
