Love those Richard - the castle one has got some great B&W tones, and the sky is very dramatic. The train sets off the sepia tones nicely in the second :) .
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.

Nice B&W shots Doc, Sury and Richard! I have to admit to living vicariously through Doc's photos of late!
Here are a couple from New Orleans. Dannelle and I went there for a quick getaway not too long ago.

Dr. Harout, love the vacation shots of the past months. Very inspiring and enjoyable. You visited some very authentic and attractive capitals and places.. : )

Caporip, great shots indeed. I love te second one for the inclusion of the train. Agree with all the lovely remarks from the other members.

John, always a pleasure to see your take on interesting places like New Orleans...and the abstract-like tries.


Thanks for sharing,

Yildiz

Thanks Sury and Yildiz! I can't wait until Dannelle and I go there again!
Here are three from a local park that opened recently.
I found the a77 difficult to use for long-exposure IR work, but I wanted to give it a shot.
Hopefully my NEX C3 that I just shipped off to be converted to IR gets back soon!


Cheers to all

John

The first one looked like a hat (Fedora type). Was that by design or my imagination?
It is interesting to notice that the image has certain coolness belying the heat evidenced
by the presence of Sun.

Thanks Sury- It does resemble a Fedora from some angles, maybe even a Sombrero. Some of that coolness you mention is related to IR itself, and the fact that most of the visible side is shaded from the sun.. I was hoping for some clouds, but alas, it has been a perfectly clear day here in McKinney..

Hi John, : )

The first and the second shots are very nice for the IF depiction making the scene more outworldly... That the trees turn white makes the architecture stand out.

Thanks for sharing,

This could be part of revenge of tiny sensors. With Dimage A1 (anyone remember that little gem?)

Sury, that A1 was an awesome little camera. Great shot.

At the other end of the camera spectrum here's one with an A900:-

Richard,
Thank you. Not too shabby for A900 compared to A1, eh!!! :lol: Just kidding.
That is a great shot. I love the reflections. Looks like an early morning shot, for
the water is so still.

So many good shots here!

This is a photo (scanned negative) I took at Meteora, Greece in 2001.
