Encore heureux qu'on va vers l'été
« on: May 22, 2017, 22:39:49 »
A novel by Christiane Rochefort, 1975 - title is approximately, "fortunately, summer is coming" but I am not able to render the nuances.
50/2 AI on Df. That one, for reasons I cannot explain, remains my favourite old fifty (at times it is the 50/1.2, and of course the Noct, but the latter needed a day off).

Airy the second one is delicate and works for me but is the third one that I find more interesting: fresh and "no problem" atitutde, movement, happiness, all and all "l'été encore"... thanks!

Nice triptych...red, yellow and (even barely) blue, from left to right.

Thanks Golunvolo. Indeed, the third one is just one "lucky shot", but I do not try my luck very often. I saw the ladies coming from a distance and waited for them to overtake me (we were walking in the same direction). Pic was bound to get unsharp (f/2.8 to avoid picking up too much junk, and camera shake, unavoidably) but sometimes it's the right thing. Anyway I am (to a certain extent) fed up with still lives or posed portraits...

Akira, I guess in Tokyo they would already have burnt their feet soles. In fact, overhearing their conversation, it appears that they were looking for a foot massage experience, like walking on pebbles (Chinese style, possibly also Japanese ?) and were frustrated by flat tar.

Concerning the colors, you are right, I did not notice and at first, I found the blue car to be disturbing.
