Oops, that´s actually the 105 2.5.

 It is a night shot and I still like the 58 a lot

The pride of the city are the special bike routes through out the entire city, usually also bike-only, so the fastest way for transportation.

Was just focussing on the 'geraniums' with the 10mm wide of the Sigma 10-20 and didn't see any bikers, until I heard something and pushed the shutter...

I heard the mum ask her daughter 'Did you smile for the photo'?   

Very cool, this one! Excellent capture.

Thanks Akira and Thomas.

Every day I clean up the kitchen, empty the dishwasher, refill it start it and empty it again. Only to see the full chaos reinstated after family returns from school, work and Kindergarten. Sisiphos is my hero!!!

You should ask the guy up in the corner to help you out with your daily chores.

Great portrait

Thanks Armando. 

Sometimes you must be lucky with a press-conference. City Bulding is in renovation; you never can guess what will be the location, the positions and the light source. The conference was mainly for the written press and luckily a very informal setting.

85/1.8K is a great lens by the way. This was shot at f/2.0

It looks very nice John.

You are not alone! While we are both excellent cooks, my wife takes those duties in exchange for me doing the cleanup chores. 2 loads for the dishwasher is not an uncommon daily occurrence here for the 2 of us, and if we have guests 4 loads is to be expected. Rarely, do I face just 1 dishwasher load per day.
