On my way to White Sands NM.

Taken with Zeiss Lens on my Sony A7.

The full size is somewhat too large for here.

This beast crossed my way in my home graden last summer in munich.

Who know it's name? Or what it will become?

No Message. Just a flower.

Have fun.

Another Hailstone. The initial grain is nicely visible. The outer

shells have grown in ups and downs in the athmosphere. I kept it in

the deep freeze for some monthes before taking the image, so its a

little bit distorted.

I thougt a lot how to put this in scene, but had no better idea than

this. Honestly, I believe there must be a better way, but who can tell

me how?

(Scanning quality is also poor, but this is due to high speed B&W

film, doesn't work well with my LS2000).

Who knows how to scan better quality out of B&W negatives (Ilford HP5

plus, 400ASA) using a Nikon LS2000? Are newer scanners batter for B&W?

This is the proof that a Contax also works without a Zeiss lens and

even a Tokina AT-X 80-200 zoom can take great pictures.

Scanning B&W with a Nikon LS2000 is tedious. Any suggestions to

Improve? Any trick to have less grain?

Incredible! Impressing!

Was the shot like this or - how was the raw image and how did you post process this?

Would be quite interesting for me to learn how to get to such a photo.

Anybody can take this picture.I'ts a duct cover on

the east side  of the Golden Gate Bridge.

In 1997/98 I lived in the States for six months and took

quite a bunch of pictures there. But this particular one

like no other symbolizes America to me.

Its tough.

Its steel.

Its pride.

Here in Germany nobody would even think of

casting "BRD" on a duct cover.

That's the difference.
