Joined the gang for a few hours, here's a few snapshots taken of some of the participants. Really enjoyed catching up with the familiar faces and meeting a couple of new ones :)
For those whom joined, feel free to post your images of today in this topic.
Used gear is easy as it was a one lens day for me; Sony a7RII & 35/1.4 FE all @ f/1.4
Jakovic and Frank

I echo JA's feelings.
It was fantastic to catch up with well known faces and to meet new ones!
Here is a photo taken in the morning (when it was still sunny) while I was waiting for the tram.
-
OK, in that case this one needs to be posted as well ;D ;D
(https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1571/25845909951_d0b295a174_c.jpg)
-
JA, you are getting there 8)
I love it :)
Here I am still waiting for the tram, this time IR + 8mm fish-eye.
-
I managed to reach the central train station eventually...
-
I had a great day too!
Jakov infected me with the the Siggy virus (and Heligon too :D)
Df + Siggy 8/3.5
-
Once I reached Utrecht, I simply had to hug my one and only Frank. I asked him if he would do me the honor and take a selfie with me :)
-
Hans, was kind enough to lend me his 135/2.0, a lens that I am really eager to buy...
I must say that it is really good!!!
This photo depicts Chris :)
-
Here we are bunched up together.
-
Ok, a few portraits from me with the Df + Nikkor-PC 105/2.5
Jakov, Bruno and Frank
-
It was a fantastic meeting, with the new members and the well known one's!
Great stuff already here.
Well Utrecht is famous for the Dom - Church - with 112 meter the highest Church tower in the Netherlands
Df-80/2.8
-
Dom
D600 - 45P
-
something to eat, something to drink and a bunch of people I met today...
-
Yes, I did a few double exposures today :)
-
Checking out the thread with M-U-C-H interest! Keep 'em comin'!
-
Inspired by Thomas.
Structures and patterns or should I say the peephole :)
-
some people I met today:
-
some more pictures and then I go to bed:
-
Df + 105/2.5
-
and a last one before tomorrow:
-
Chris - Jakov - Thomas
D600-45P
-
I really like the way the 135/2.0 handles my kind of photos ::)
The colors and the creaminess of the out of focus areas are impressive!
Thank you Hans for cementing my desire to own this lens ;D
-
Chris - Jakov - Thomas
D600-45P
We are so handsome 8)
-
Of course I had to do a side by side non-scientific comparison with the Zenit 85/1.5 ::)
It's difficult to pick a winner :)
-
Jakov, which 135/2.0 are you trying? Ais, DC or Zeiss?
-
The colours of the 45P are nice too ;)
-
Akira, it was a Nikon AI or AIS.
Hans can confirm.
I will probably buy the DC because I can hardly wait to experiment with the DC feature :)
-
Thanks, Jakov. Either way, I'm sure you will enjoy the 135!
-
Today we even encountered a street race - marathon.
Luckily I was present with a Zenit 85/1.5 to report the event ::)
If I were to work for a news agency, imagine the face of the editor after I were to deliver such a gem...
-
Beauties of sharpness, Jakov ;)
A spectator of the Street race - marathon, I guess ...
-
Looks like you had a lot of fun.
Keep 'em coming!
-
My editor rejected the first one so I obliged him with another :D
-
Checking out the thread with M-U-C-H interest! Keep 'em comin'!
I'm on the same boat with Akira. :)
Jakov - beautiful multi exposure shots. They have your signature all over them :) I thinks been a while you have posted double exposure. Nice to see them and keep them coming.
-
Looks like an interesting event. Would like to attend sonmetime, if I can find time :)
Thanks for posting the multy exposures, jakov. (i had almost forgotten about that possibility, although I have got some old ones myselfJ
-
love that last runner pic :)
-
Akira, Anthony, Anirban, Terje and especially Elsa are wonderful people :)
You haven't seen anything yet, wait till you see the photos of other wonderful people that were roaming in Utrecht!
-
Great Utrecht was a success! ;) Very creative images and lots of happy faces ;)
-
So here is the "making of" featuring Jakov & the Zenit 1.5/85mm:
-
And as I cannot compete with Jakov, here are my "runners up", taken with the perfect action gear: D600 & Ai-S 1.4/35mm
(next time I go for 1/350th instead of 1/125th):
-
Once I reached Utrecht, I simply had to hug my one and only Frank. I asked him if he would do me the honor and take a selfie with me :)
That is a wonderful evidence of a friendly encounter
-
Here we are bunched up together.
Names & Faces:
Wow 3000 posts.... ;-)
-
I also had a D3 on my, but the AF of the 1.8/85G is nearly unusable. There is a 90% loss rate at least
-
It seems that the Df is very popular among NG'ers; at least 5 were present ?? :)
-
the first picture in this post is the former champion speedskater Erben Wennemars
-
Welcome to Utrecht:
-
Eddie, yes there were a lot of Df bodies :)
But there were other bodies too: D200, D600, D750, D810 etc.
And of course, the mirror-less ones Sony, Fuji, Nikon, and iPhone :)
We shared our lenses and stories and I believe we will do another walk-trough in the future.
I think Hans will suggest a walk-through in Maastricht sometime in June...
-
Frank and I in search of something...
Guess what it was :)
-
Frank and I in search of something...
Guess what it was :)
I sure it was the Organn in the back, the pictures of which are awaiting development.
BTW: Much bettter with the flash!
-
Some quick impressions. :) My favorite is Frank talking about biodiversity on stones. I could not catch his middle finger. :D
-
Ah yes, the organ :)
-
the first picture in this post is the former champion speedskater Erben Wennemars
thank you Fons
-
Gorgeous church! Is that Domkerk?
-
Ah yes, I saw an Organ too ;)
Dom - Church
Df 80/2.8
-
We met a pioneer ... encouraging a little dance break for the group ...
D600 & Ai-S 35/1.4@1.4, focus on his right hand which he used like a conductor ...
-
Chris: Your from the floor siggy roundshot is wonderful!
-
The organ in Domkerk is very nice, also a nice object to show the difference in tonal response between D600 & D3. D3 is precise, dry, clean ... D600 is still the best in the Nikon park ... only beaten by the D5 and only above ISO3200 ... yes, the D810 has 12 more megapixels and is nearly as good in tonality as the D600 ... and yes, I will buy the D850 if she can beat the D600 ... yes, the D750 and D610 and alpha 7 and alpha 7 II and alpha 99 and several other cameras feature the same chip ... OK? Everybody happy?
Post Scriptum:: The Df is also very good & chart attached ... to be precise: between ISO800 and ISO25.600, she is just as good as the D600. Below ISO800 the D600 beats them all. Above ISO25.600 the D600 has no setting.
1) D600 & Ai-S 1.4/35mm @f=4 (@1.4 to follow ... it really glows!)
2) Different perspective with D3 and AF-S 1.8/85mm @f=4
-
Did I ever mention I love the D600 for her tonal response?
-
Photographer in action: Thomas. Nicole: Thank you! :) And Jakov as supporter for good mood. ;)
-
The Organ with the combination
D600 - 45P/2.8 at f/4
-
John: Touching rendition.
-
I played a bit with long exposures in the church :)
-
The church gathering 8)
You can see JA with his small, portable and unobtrusive Sony :D
-
Welcome to Utrecht:
Nice overview Harald.
The same 'Statue' but with the 80/2.8 wide open
-
John and Harald have an eye for women 8)
Here is the famous "platform canal" of Utrecht.
-
Nice Jakov .
Some detail from of the top-windows in the Dom. It's heavily cropped and corrected for perspective ;)
-
You can see JA with his small, portable and unobtrusive Sony :D
The Sony Zeiss 35/1.4 FE might be big in size its also big in performance, here's your moustache at 100% crop of an OOC JPG shot at f/1.4 8)
Now you can count your greys hairs Jakovic, or at least some of them ;D ;D

Sony a7RII with 35/1.4 FE
i see more purple hair than grey hair :D
so i guess i am still young enough 8)
-
The lens has axial colour (longitudinal chromatic aberration) despite being a Zeiss ...
Youth is a mental state.
The Utrecht event apparently was enjoyable. This is promising in view of the Scotland meeting coming up in May.
-
First one with the Df + Nikkor-N 35/1.4 (exif is wrong, forgot to change it >:()
Other two with Jakov's Heligon and PN1 (same subject)
-
I am disappointed ;-)
I thought your day would be a lot less enjoyable without me. But it was wrong. You seemed to have a blast!
Great, great, great set of photos. I wish I could have been there.
Another time.
thank you for sharing!
-
Peter. Maastricht is set for me. Again I prefer to start late and end early in a Hotel bar. Then sleep and
move home sloooowwwly. Can we do that?
Start in Maasricht at Coffeelovers in the church turned into a book store?
Get Alaun to join us? Share a car with me from Bonn?
-
It was nice to meet you all yesterday.
I'm now an "official" member :)
-
Hmm...I wonder why you guys weren't kicked out of the church... :o :o :o
-
Welcome on board, Nicole. Nice to also meet you here :)
-
It was nice to meet you all yesterday.
I'm now an "official" member :)
Ha, nice ! Welcome Nicole !
-
Akira, it was a Nikon AI or AIS.
Hans can confirm.
I will probably buy the DC because I can hardly wait to experiment with the DC feature :)
I bought it a long time ago, but i think it's the AIS.
-
Welcome, Nicole. It was a joy having you around on a great day :-)
-
Hmm...I wonder why you guys weren't kicked out of the church... :o :o :o
We behaved very decently with the large Candle holder watching over us ;)
-
I bought it a long time ago, but i think it's the AIS.
Hans, it's easy to descern. If the 16 (blue) and 22 (orange) are the only colored numbers on the aperture ring, it is Ais.
-
tricolore female accesoires - (not a choice,- you want them all!)
-
A few others with the Df and Heligon (with PN1)
-
Road Runner (50/1.2)
-
I was just taking pictures of nice door(step)s with lamps and suddenly a door went open and someone drove by. :D
-
Haha - that second one is a great take away! Love it! What a snap.
-
gravely serious
-
Haha - that second one is a great take away! Love it! What a snap.
That's what you can call a lucky shot. :D
-
gravely serious
Wow, I totally mist that one!
-
Remember Christine?
-
Distorted negativism
-
Remember Christine?
Didn't missed that one, just another angle. :-)
-
People
-
boing... liked that perspective as well, a little different, some emphasis on a little impact
-
People
Bruno, you really make the crowd look partying on... which obviously was not so much true ::)
-
Distorted negativism
On the contrary, these people care about nature by refusing printed folders (the first No) and papers not addressed to them personally (the second No).
Thanks for the reminder to get one btw for my new place, a big pile of unwanted mail goes straight into the paper dumpster which doesn't feel right as a nature lover :-\
-

Wonderful Glow on that car mister Yarnbuyer!

Agree, I have the same at home :). The collection was amusing.
-
gravely serious
That is a cool piece of artwork I completely missed. You took your time for a reasoin, while I was chatting with the others. Supershot!
-
Haha - that second one is a great take away! Love it! What a snap.
Super. I saw the man undirting his shoes and the two children, but the bike was gone.
What a catch!
-
It was nice to meet you all yesterday.
I'm now an "official" member :)
Welcome Home!!!!
-
Welcome Nicole!
Do show us your images :)
There are some lovely images from all participants as evidence of a wonderful time we had together!
The open door and bicycle passing by is amazing! 8)
(I have some more for my marathon editor, he gave me a 3rd chance to produce something worth printing)
-
Distorted negativism
Took another perspective ;)
-
The marathon - take 3.
-
makes me dizzy too much color and movement....
-
postboxes and marathon - both very nice!
one last beer and quit for today? having lunch at that bar was a good idea!
-
The City-marathon...
-
The Buddah-shop
-
Frank, my editor :)
Here is the final take of the marathon - #4 :)
-
Great one. Looks like they're on bikes :)
-
Great stuff :D
There was a bakery as well
-
Bruno, you really make the crowd look partying on... which obviously was not so much true ::)
Some are full of energy, others are more contemplative ;)
-
And the marathon
-
I did some window shopping too
with the Ai-S 1.4/35@1.4
1) If you want to pump up you GPS use that pump and if you do not want to be caught use this umbrella.
2) The Vintage Design confused my geometric senses. I had to change a lot in post. Am I skewed?
3) The Buddha and the other stuff are a great show off for this lens which is a mixture of precision instrument and effect filter.
4) The sweeties came in different flavours. In the picture: chocolate and lemon.
5) & 6) communicating display dummies
7) Café front
-
What kind of shop is this that sells Buddhistic items?
-
Some more Stuff.
-
I am disappointed ;-)
I thought your day would be a lot less enjoyable without me. But it was wrong. You seemed to have a blast!
Great, great, great set of photos. I wish I could have been there.
Another time.
thank you for sharing!
It would have been better with you in the picture. Sure.
Thank you for sending us Nicole as the perfect host!!!
-
Peter, we are all sorry you haven't joined us, but we are grateful that you have organised all this fun for us.
Hopefully, we will meet you soon...
-
Bruno, my editor want to use your photo. He was screaming and shouting at me for not being able to get a shot like yours :)
Frank and Harald posted the mood of Utrecht beautifully.
I wonder why we didn't have beer with those nice girls that Bruno shot and the DJ that Frank shot.
I enjoyed lunch at the bar with Harald, Thomas and Frank.
It's amazing what a nice feeling it is when you connect the names with the faces and personalities. A simple day out opens the horizons so much :)
Thank you all for the lovely time!
-
You can get in close with the 8/3.5 Sigma circular fish-eye.
I could have stopped down the lens a few stops past f/5.6 to get more depth of field...
-
The dancing ghosts of the background probably never get sharp no matter what aperture is selected :D
Remember Scotland will be all about fishing with fisheyes, thus exercise the one(s) you have well in the mean time. I'm retrieving fisheyes from all over my place at present.
-
I only have a few fish-eye lenses but I am exercising them all the time 8)
I can hardly wait for Scotland!
-
Doesn't Hans look handsome when photographed with a fish-eye 8)
-
From Utrecht to Brussels with love <3
Df + Zenit 85/1.5
-
A few flowers with the Heligon and the last one is with the Nikkor-PC 105/2.5
Tulip, Narcissus, Crocus and Violets
-
Chris the first three are just perfect!
-
Chris the first three are just perfect!
Thanks Erik.

I do !!
I'll show it to my wife, she'll like it :P :P
-
Some of mine:
1 I do what Jakov do, but sharp 8)
2 Mr. Jakovic himself. Greatness at work
3 One of the towers window reflection
4 Again, just because i can
5 Dom tower, straight up
-
I do !!
I'll show it to my wife, she'll like it :P :P
I am sure that she will fall in love with you all over again!
-
Iphone ;)
-
Bikes and canal
-
Nicole has a beautiful and capable iPhone :)
-
Nicole, the canal image is extra special because I like minimalism :)
-
Nicole, lovely shot of the canal!
-
Nicole, lovely shot of the canal!
+1, very well seen and executed!
-
Bikes and canal
Nicole, the canal frame is a very nice rendered minimal!
-
There was a tendency towards sharing lenses 8) based on trust which evolved through the day.
Every one seemed to be very cautious about the precious lenses and the owners feelings when handing them over and trying them.
A very favorable atmosphere.
-
Luckily, we knew where we were going thanks to intelligent comrades among us :)
-
Some things were veiled
-
I stole Hans' idea for this one ;D
-
Harald carefully weighting alternatives
-
Looking for the next stop
-
Hans spotted the photographer
-
From Utrecht to Brussels with love <3
Df + Zenit 85/1.5
Thank you Jakov, Brussels needs a bit of love today
-
the freshly fixed 105/2.5 does it's job on John
-
Bruno, my editor want to use your photo. He was screaming and shouting at me for not being able to get a shot like yours :)
Jakov, please thank your editor for me. I'm pleased he likes it despite its evident lack of unsharpness :)
-
Hans and bikes
-
no wonder - these bikes look almost dead
-
the freshly fixed 105/2.5 does it's job on John
John looks like Alain Delon :o
-
Hans spotted the photographer
And John is showing off :o
-
while it has structural elements of order it is an ambigious teaser for Alain?
-
no wonder - these bikes look almost dead
Hehe, those are my bikes, i saw them first, you stole my shot (and all that) ;D ;D ;D
-
Keep them coming. I see here many things I did not see.
Hope I could show you some things I did not see.
-
Some things found by looking at the ground.
-
I like that there are some things shot differently by serveral of us - I have to admit that I was second on the dead looking bikes.
I think it was this guy:
-
That is a great catch Thomas!
-
Sharing some more people shots. 1st one (Chris) by Jakov, 'cause he was trying my 135 (and borrowed it after that). 2nd one Frank, 3rd one Thomas
-
Great look at the ground, Hans.
-
The centre of Utrecht is about churches and towers. Here the towers.
-
That is a great catch Thomas!
Thank you, Hans!
-
The centre of Utrecht is about churches and towers. Here the towers.
And arches, plenty of those
-
Some strange animals: a happy chicken, a bull and a snail
-
one of the many boutiques, and Christines cousin
-
Hans. I love the color matching of my clothes and the lichen! Thank you.
-
I like the ground shots Hans made and of course the monster that kills bikes by Thomas :)
I was too quick with my response and now I have to praise Bruno with his intelligent triptych of chicken, bull and snail :D
-
Well, great stuff.
Me, Alain Delon, jakov hahahaha. Great shot Thomas.
Thomas and Frank
-
Red, green, blue and 3 tiny spots of yellow
-
Nicole, Hans, Frank, Harald, Thomas, Jakov, John, Jackie, Jan Anne, Chris, meeting you all in Utrecht was a real pleasure. Thanks a lot to Peter for the set up, it's a pity you could not join, and to Nicole for welcoming us. Waiting for the next opportunity to meet you again.
-
reality bites
-
Early in the morning I went on a photowalk near my Hotel in Utrecht-Papendorp ... huge series. Here are 2 comparing the 35/f=1.4 Ai-S @1.4 and @5.6, bot same perspective, I did not even take my eye from the finder
quite revealing.
On the left the Holiday Inn, on the right kpn Head Office
-
Same idea, but I did not match the frames so well:

Frank, you must have sucked up all the nice light then. Almost nothing was left in the afternoon... instead of a few moments.
-
Thomas: Do not blame me. Early breakfast, rain, some sunny patches.... The early worm ...
-
Red, green, blue and 3 tiny spots of yellow
I like the blue bike element.

You earned it. The early bird catches the worm. I'm not to blame you, I was just kidding and a bit jeallous ...
We had nice light on the way down, particulary a northern like wide blue sky with sparkled clouds.
Unfortunately that was while we were making kilometers on the highway.
And it was gone too soon.
-
I think we all took this picture, one way or the other :D
haha, ja! ;D Different lenses though.

Yes :D

another f=1.4 vs. f=5.6:

Close to the entrance of Hoog Catharijne
-
Park & Ride Utrecht-Papendorp:
-
John: coool! I only saw this in daytime / lights switched off.
-
The four Evangelists facing South and a crop of same (bed time, good night!)
-
John: coool! I only saw this in daytime / lights switched off.
Thanks. Yes, this was in the evening on the road to the car park. I assume Hans has a version as well, probably with the 135mm.
-
Aaron, David, Moses and Ezechiel on the North side of the Cathedral. The original glass was sold off in the Ikonoclasm, but in the 1920ies and 1930ies Utrecht was very rich and people donated the windows above the choir the Northern and Sothern Panels created by a renown glass artist as an ensemble. North ... where we come from: bad people, bad habits, bloddy god of vengence ... South ... where we go to: light
-
Close to the statue of the 'famous' market-woman ;)
-
Catharijnenconvent
-
Thanks. Yes, this was in the evening on the road to the car park. I assume Hans has a version as well, probably with the 135mm.
I do have a version, but not with the 135 i believe. I'll dig it up later (have to go to work now).
-
Chris. Your take on the house with the red shades is unique.
-
Near the train station.
-
I think we all took this picture, one way or the other :D
Indeed :)
-
I have no picture of the tower and I did not shoot the GMC car...
-
Frank and I have some similarities :)
John, I like the entrance to the train station on top of this page very much!
The rest are nice too :)
-
Harald: You did take this building on the way back? When I passed by there entering the city I was so overwhelmed by the constuction sites around this end of the station and still chatting with some marathon fan who accompained me on the trip from Hotel to Station.
-
Hi Frank,
yes, directly at the station for park&ride.
Harald
-
Peter. Maastricht is set for me. Again I prefer to start late and end early in a Hotel bar. Then sleep and
move home sloooowwwly. Can we do that?
Start in Maasricht at Coffeelovers in the church turned into a book store?
Get Alaun to join us? Share a car with me from Bonn?
A nice and inspiring thread. It is always fun to see, what others see being at the same place at the same time.
Yes, Frank, if time allows, I am open to that. Is there a date set? Or, as Thomas proposed somewhere else, the LaPaDu would be a nice option as well?
-
I still have some more to share in this thread (but am away from my main computer now). After that, i'll open the anticipated Maastricht event thread. :)
-
Not LaPaDu. Please not.
If industrial we should go for one of the impressive holes of
Braunkohletagebau and some abandoned villages. LaPaDu
is too touristic. Or we should go for something special. A place
where we get rare access rights and a guided tour and property
release.
Maastricht is super for photo tours and culinary tours too.
Date? June.
-
I'm open to any of the suggestions for June so far.
Each has pros and cons and will provide aa experience of some flavor.
Not offended by tourists as well.
-
Thomas. I am not offended by tourist. I love people of any kind.
I am more offended by the presentation of the place.
-
Sorry Frank. I did not want to suggest anything.
I just wanted to express my purely own impression that tourists are the spice of this
(and many other great) places which made a progression into broad public acceptance.
On these crowded days it has additionally a lot of street opportunities now, like a park in a city.
Living in and on the area I appreciate this a lot.
-
Yes. Probably the way I like a walk by the Rhine or Sieg. Very nice and near by.
-
So, everyone sold out so quickly with the pictures from Utrecht? Here are some of mine not posted yet. Some of these are of course of the same subjects as we've seen before.
#1 at the train station
#2 bike at speed
#3 two heads
#4 nice sunset light
#5 red & blue
#6 Harald
#7 closing of the outing (Hoog Catharijne)
#8 construction works
-
(not so) golden days
-
I still got plenty up my sleeve...
Yet so much to do, only 24 hours per day...

Thanks Thomas.
Nicole, the last one is really nice. Other than that, i also like all of the pictures.
-
Your are welcome, Hans.
And there is room for more.
Some may know my liking for graphical structures (elements of order), fantasy and story telling.
Here is one:
-
closing my long Easter weekend contributions with: 'bunnies to the left'. The NG event was ahead it's time.

Mmmmm, well seen, Thomas. I like it.
-
Great stuff !
I found some 'portraits' ;)

Love the portraits. They express the vibe we had ...
-
one more portrait, showing Jacky
-
Thanks Thomas.
Had very little time for processing...
On the way back to Central Station....
-
nice night lights... did take too few. Usually keen of getting some.
Revisiting the early hour instead.

-
John and Thomas are continuing to treat us with their lovely images. Thank you!
-
Jakov,
I'm happy to do so and currently have the time.
I also strongly believe that you all must have some more...
-
as I work on the takes... 'illuminate'
-
I still have lots of files.
Here is one taken with the D600 & Jakov's 1.5/85 Zenit which requires a lot of PP. Here is the JPEG ooc and an edit to my liking.
Title: We all got tired at the end of the day.

Funny. I did percieve this house as quite well renovated before I saw you shot...
-
This shot was about the bookstore until Thomas entered the Frame (X100T):
-
And here are some shots from a folder I did not touch yet.
1) bike in alley
2) lichen
3) translucence in construction
4) xenos ... phobia?

para ... xenos
Frank, although it did need processing, I like the portrait of Hans you made with the Zenit. It's sharp and smooth at the same time.
-
Thomas, thank you for making go through the photos again. There are indeed more of them that might be worthwhile posting.
For instance this one made on the road to Utrecht.
D200 IR and Sigma 8 mm fish-eye.
-
Impressive one's Thomas, Frank and Jakov
I shall have a look again too ;)
Some unsharp stuff....

Frank,
the bike in the alley (1) shot is really nice.

buy me a roses garden

non NG event participants please turn left and follow #7

there is darkness in there

a portal
-
and, if you missed it, a detail crop - wearing a cross tatoo in a cloister
-
Please forgive me for posting this image twice.
The immediate synergy of newly acquainted friends makes this photo very special to me.
Bruno and I taking a selfie, Thomas carefully listening to Frank's wisdom :)
-
Jakov: I was talking to Jackie and wisdom does not leave my mouth *rotfl*
-
Jakov, thank you for lending me this nice lens allowing me my first fisheye impressions
-
Frank, every word you say is wise. It's just that you are modest guy and you don't see it.
Thomas, it was a pleasure. I see you mastering the fish-eye immediately. Is that romantic Harald in the corner :)
Here is an IR inversion of the Church that has been presented here a few times...
D200 and 8mm fish-eye.

Very appealing color set! like the red outlines.
Seems you have your own romantic mood today? (l wasn't aware of mine which you suggested in another posting, but who knows)
-
proudly worn off
-
Thomas, is that Alain Delon's jacket?
-
Yes, Alain's.
'to be worn with pride'. (The light later the day had some gorgeous moments)
-
And here are some shots from a folder I did not touch yet.
2) lichen
So Lichen ... that was what I wanted to say but my brain refusued to release that information at the time ... are symbiotic life forms formed by fungi and cyanocacteria or algae or both cyanobacteria and algae.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichen
Love the shot by HCS with me and the Lichen and the green Jacket too.
-
Frank, you are so sexy 8)
-
No, Jakov, I am 10 Kilos too much currently due to medication and this Jacket does not look nice if I stuff all the pockets full of equipment. You should see me in better shape, possibly in a year...
-
That's a cool photo of a nice jacket, Thomas. ;)
I forgot my version of your Lichen-Speech, Frank :)
-
I am so ugly...
-
ah que. This is the group, securing the scene while Frank is holding the speach.
-
Frank, you're not ugly and you are dear.
I must have a similar one.
-
The most photographed gentleman in Utrecht. Frank and his love for lichens.
-
Apparently Frank's love for the lichen is reflected on his nice color coordination of the lichen and the jacket.
-
#255 is really nice. Thank you, lovely Jakov. I see that I do not give a damn about my outer appearence.
Just the opposite to my wife who spends hours to appear perfect every day. You were teasing me about
my tendency to talk long and broad about topics I am interested in and I played along. I love to make fun
of myself and others as you know. #255 represents that. Thank you.
-
always unsharp
-
Found something.... ;)
-
Thomas, you know I love that image!
John, I think you managed to capture those windows best :)

Hehe. Well, I only slowly get accustomed to this technique. But trying.
-
Found something.... ;)
John,
this is a strong version.
You managed to get all the disturbing surroundings out of the frame without damaging the impression of the red shutter house.
'red shutter tattoos'
-
Thanks Jakov and Thomas. There are many good views on those red shuttered windows ;)
Well, I had to crop a bit and with 80mm at the beginning of the street a nice angle, I guess.
