Impressive photo's Aleksandra.
I especially like the nearly empty Vrijthof and the 'love'-couple


John, I see you made good use of that 105mm. Both shots from the Vrijthof and the earlier B&W you showed us are proof of how well this lens can perform in the hands of a capable photographer. I really like how the subtly unsharp background still clearly shows the buildings but seperates them from the main subjects. I also like how you included the classic Vrijthof streetlight in the first shop and the disturbed balance/gravity between the guy on the bike measuring up against the huge steel pavillion. The sandals and cellphone really make that image work, as funny as it may sound to pay attention to such details
Thanks, Buddy.  I like the lens a lot. It was not shot fully open, by the way. My EXIF says f/2.8, not sure if that is correct.

 Martine. Dennis. Hans. Joost.

looking foward to more perspectives from all.

I still got lots of shots I did not even look at.

esp those taken with the X100T

Jakov is not afraid of Frank's shooting technique...

He shouldn't as he is closer than the near limit of the 300 PF Frank is using. Thus Jakov can at best be depicted as a big blur ...

He is not in the picture. I was watching people buying waffles...

Akira, I believe that it’s a permanent book store. Thanks
Nicole and Thomas caught the church tower majestically between the branches!
Werner, Frank and I are very close friends as clearly depicted in your photos :)
Werner, the yellow mini and umbrella are fantastic! Peter is a model!
Thomas is a talented photographer, he can use any lens and create a great image just like the portrait of Denis.
Thomas, I like the way you photographed my coffee with the bandits in the background!
Aleksandra’s shots of the square, the globe in the bookstore, the invito feet and the romantic couple are great!
John always knows how to capture a great moment. Frank showing of his skills and my sceptic face :)
Frank, I barely see Buddy, but I like the glowing effect of the photo ;)
There must be more photos, my dear bandits...

Jakov: the glow is from the X100T wide open.
I contemplated to cut out the remains of B.
yet K. Is clearly referring to him via body
language while Lumi is on guard as always.

After about half a day, I decided to replace the circular fish-eye with my newly acquired sympathy 135 DC.

During lunch I tried out the 135 DC for what it's meant for and that is taking portraits!

Allow me to present you:

Bandit Konstantin (Frank's son who claims that he is the opposite of his father)
Bandit Joost (my new friend from Leuven who may organise an NG get together in Belgium)
Bandit Hans (the host in Maastricht)
Bandit Bruno (possible future host with Joost)
Bandit John (the one and only Tilburg street photographer)
