Re: Images of London in mono

Actually, the Gherkin just proves that "Men in Black" is real and also in London. That's obviously where they hid the latest alien spaceship! :lol:

Re: One more to go...

Thank you Robbie and Yildiz. It was a weird experience trying to use the 24mm. I was so used to the zooms that the first time the lens was on, I was shocked to see how big the view finder is, and how small everything looked. I guess I was so used to looking "smaller" things that I have to ...

Re: Images of London in mono

I think the color rendition is much better for me. The modern buildings to the left and right (as I am looking at the photo) of the Gherkin offer the modernity and does not make the Gherkin look like a odd man out. Now it looks more like a blend of old and new. Perhaps, a commentary on how the archi...

One more to go...

Well, thanks to 25 years of marital bliss, I am enjoying another kind of bliss. I set about to acquire 70-400G, Zeiss 24f2 and Zeiss 24-70f2.8. So far got 2 out of 3 in the backpack. :D Received the 24f2 tonight. It was raining out and managed to get couple of backyard roses (posted in weather threa...

Re: Images of London in mono

I am with Mark. Great treatments on all of them.
The Ovoid structure in the third one is certainly
incongruous with the rest of the architecture.
I am curious if that incongruity persists even in the
color.

With best regards,

Great Duck "shooting". :)

Robbie,
Nice set of Kingfishers. Is that fish in the mouth of the Kingfisher in the first shot?

Re: Classique

Mark,
I think you hit upon a winning concept. I like the concept and the photos even more.
Look forward to more of those "Classics".

Yep. I agree. It is not something you see everyday. :) Someone who is big, big, big has a big, big, big bathtub

Doc, To the best of my knowledge, they do not have sugar free chocolates. Since I am a type II Diabetic, I indulge them once or twice a year, but what a treat. :D Sury Sury, there was a very interesting article on diabetes published lately where the authors were very strict on a hypothesis that acq...
