Uhooru Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Welcome Peeps! Friday and time to post new pics for the week. Lets see what you have for this week. I'll start with a pic from the infamous Taco Asylum in Costa Mesa with a X-Pro2 and 35mm Summicron I believe. Let see what you have. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur_mcculloch2 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 So, my contribution from the antipodes (We had 26 Jan as a holiday - officially called 'Australia Day', but a source of great contention. It 'celebrates' the arrival of the first convict fleet, but is seen as many as 'Invasion Day'. It is contentious). Nonetheless, people put idiotic flags on their cars, etc. These are early shots from my newly acquired debt, aka monochrom m. I'm still trying to work it out. I long for the ease of my (t)rusty bessa r. They are of bartenders at my local club - like many rural Oz communities, the bartenders are mature women of some standing in the local community.

A really fascinating history of the founding of the land of Oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur_mcculloch2 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Yes, I have, Uhooru. And Reynolds account of the frontier wars. I'm not sure where you live, but I suspect these same issues confront many now, though I think the North Americas seem to have resolved them. I suspect we have not. It's still a drama, or a bit of it, for us, at least for some. How to walk on stolen land. It's an issue for thinking Australians. I'm off focus here, so will end here. I'll post another photo, which I've probably posted before, as a celebration of diversity, we live here in a cultural mixing pot, We have since 'settlement'/'invasion' been a diverse community. This was with my (t)rusty bessa, and it reflects Oz's, I hope, inclusiveness. Regards, Arthur (apiarist1) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael_levy3 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Coffee with my Leica friends. 75mm Summicron. Taken to examine depth-of-field, but the shot captures the moment for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur_mcculloch2 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 That's a really poignant photo, Stric. We done (sometimes photos capture more than an image. I've seen such photos many times here - this is one. I envy such photographers). Greg, I like your photo. I've tended to go for very high contrast in landscape, but that shot enlivens me to the idea of graded and complex tonality. Looks like a relatively slow speed for the water - did you use a tripod?

Greg M Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Thanks Arthur. It was handheld at 1/125 second. I'm not s huge fan of carrying my tripod with this outfit, and they don't allow anyone to use them in the Japanese Garden. A couple others from a local memorial park yesterday, captured at f1.4 with the 35mm Summilux FLE. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
