tony_lockerbie Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Luis, your city is just made for B&W! More good work from the master, and the shot of the man and child with the small dog is my favourite. Keep them coming. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustys pics Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Thanks Luis for beautiful pictures of a lovely city. I like your photo of the older woman about to walk in front of the bar. The painting of the young woman on the building adds a touch of melancholy. Wonderful work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralf_j. Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Great shots Luis. I admired your second batch of shots as much as I admired your first batch. Take advantange of that little Tessar. Over 100 years later, it is still the lens to beat when combining simplicity and quality of output.<p> PS - I did not know Starbucks had made its debut in Spain. They are spreading like mushrooms after the rain, just like McDonalds. I am one of the addicted Starbucks consumers, you will find me in one every morning getting a small iced coffe in hot days, or a caramel latte on cold days ;-).

Rob_the_waste Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Luis, I can see that in the last picture it was important to use a 1/300 second shutter speed. All those people in the Starbucks must have had the shakes, and you froze the motion. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subbarayan_prasanna Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Lovely tones and depth Luis! Kudos! The picture with the kid and puppy dog is a classic! Keep 'em coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User_503771 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 As always, Luis, you leave me speechless. Terrific work. Just one advice! Keep your hands steady! (I never see any camera shake in your photos!) Don't go to Starbucks too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_foreman1 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Luis, You'Re the master! I really like your photos. The Starbucks is an intersting juxtaposition of reflected and interior stuff. Cool Idea. The Metropolis is so neat but that other large ornamental building (City Hall?) is such an amazing architecture and you fit it in the photo so well! I'm inspired! Thanks Luis post more!!

luis triguez Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 Patrick, Thank you. The building was constructed in 1901 up to 1906 en its name was The Fenix. I used to have coffee every Sunday when I was younger in the ground floor (Cafeteria Dolar) until 1967, when the cafeteria closed and an insurances company (Metropolis) bought it. They changed the name on the facade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luis triguez Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 Tony, Very kind but I am not a master but a poor teacher. I teach all my mistakes to my young pupils, so they don't need to repeat them. I love shooting in that pedestrianized narrow street but I find no much light for candid, neither in summer time. The left building of bricks is the place where lived our poet <a href=" http://www.poetry-portal.com/poets9.html" >Lope de Vega</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luis triguez Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 Russ, As a citizen from Madrid I have to thank you for calling it "lovely city" but it is too noisy to my taste. The old districts are nice for shooting pictures in b & w, like in any other old city. I think that without the old lady the picture is futile and you are right about the contraposition of the tavern girls. Greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luis triguez Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 Ralf, Thanks so much. I think that after get "poisoned" for Cliff's beautiful Ikonta pictures, my addiction to her is unstoppable. That Starbucks is new. Years ago it was a shoe shop. I remember that when I was a child they use to gift, for any purchase, a balloon with the name of the shop (Calzados Segarra) this was in the 50s. Those days, to have a nice balloon fill up with gas was an exceptional toy for any of us. I don't think you'll find me in places with so watered coffee. I prefer a nice Italian "espresso constretto". I’m afraid my veins need litres of caffeine :-) it’s a joke, I never get in jet. I'll tell you how the coffee is in a few days time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve salmons Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I like your "slice of life" pictures Luis. I think unposed pictures of people going about their everyday activities will always be a source of fascination for future generations.<br> Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
