GailAnthonyHarmer 6 Posted January 25, 2016 another fine capture Jamie. The lovely quality of light and reflections is very pleasing. Link to comment
hstelljes 41 Posted January 25, 2016 I like this kind of image Jamie. The composition and lines and light make it very interesting and eye catching. Good stuff.BR, Holger Link to comment
JamieK 1 Posted January 25, 2016 Gail - Throughout recorded human history, Leica produced four storied 35-mm Summicrons, their name for an f/2.0 lens. I took this picture with the first Leica lens I owned, which was the second version. Among geeky Leica aficionados, the fourth version is famously way way way the best version, so I later bought one of those and sold my bad old second version. Years later, I saw comparison images from all four versions, and guess what - I strongly preferred the second version. Accordingly, I have rescanned a few rolls taken eight or nine years ago with the Version Two. Quite a different me that long ago. Glad you like them. Thanks. best, j Holger - Yes. I just don't work this way any more (see above). Perhaps I should indulge in this kind of image again. Thanks. best, j Link to comment
JamieK 1 Posted January 27, 2016 Before Leica started making aspherical lenses, there were four versions of the 35-mm f/2.0. I took this picture with a Version Two. Version Four is almost universally celebrated as the best, so I later bought one of those and sold my Version Two. Much later, I saw the same picture taken with all four versions. I thought Version Two was the best, so I rescanned some negatives I took long ago with my Version Two. Link to comment

JamieK 1 Posted January 28, 2016 Shakespearean idiomatic expression to refer to a youthful time, accompanied by the inexperience, enthusiasm, idealism, innocence, or indiscretion that one associates with a young person. (Wikipedia) an impressive picture from a long time ago. illustrates my fourth rule of aesthetic construction, formalised in response to your comment of 23 january, 2016 (now sadly consigned to photonet flames, but yet electronically preserved): 4. large areas differing in brightness or colour are conducive to long-lasting artistic creations, whereas small-scale, intricate patterns tend to create more impressive but rapidly consumed images - visual junk food. Thanks Pierre. best, j Link to comment
