June 2017

[Frank Fremerey]

Beautiful portrait. Great rendition -lens?- love the framing, light, conversion to monochrome, relaxed but expressive model.

The guy is about 13 years old, very intense, very determined, very his own style. Impressive personality

Details are in the EXIF: Nikkor 1.4/105E @f/1.4 on the D500. Natural light from a window on the left, large white wall on the right.

Falla Theater, Cádiz: "a theater with a ship´s soul"

I like the shot, Paco.  But does the Fisheye not hide it's real beauty?

Paco, great use of the fisheye to connect the spectators with the athletes.

Thank you Anthony. This image gave an idea for a further development. Will see. This is a detail of the same class with the 58mm 1.4. I went there to try the new lens and see how it performs in a real situation. Light was horrible -as usual - but the subjects didn´t move much being at the "barre". Will have investigate more before taking it to work. AF is slow for action and nailing the focus at full throttle is not easy at all.

I can only recommend to have it tested for AF-accuracy and centering. After test & treat by NPS mine wenmt from mediocre to as expected.

Current view from Bonn central station to the pedesteranian zone.

In short:
The city front is being rebuilt.
Old ugly buildings of the 1970ies fashion are torn down to make way for new ugly buildings of the 2010ies fashion.
The city has grown significantly and is still growing.
New buildings will house a Primark, an Electronic Superstore and a Supermarket.

Gosh!

Rain and wind, and cooler temperatures, nice

Great overview with 'room' for imagination.
