how did I know those were pics of Minneapolis before even seeing who had posted them Wow, you all got hammered.

A somewhat less cold day in Paris, while walking to Gran Palais, this Parisienne surely warmed it up a bit. Sure wish I had brought my 50MP or that I had the 85/1.4. My first attempt using LR 4.3 Well, next year

We had a 12-18" here in the Twin Cities! It wreaked havoc on commuters for several days. Fortunately for me, I walk to work.

Nice shots Bob. #1 got a lot of noise from pushed shadows. You could crank out much higher ISO from the 5D2 to get less than that.

And congrats to the lens. I have it too, a MMG which I use too little. But it has that wonderful CY color signature. Looking forward to see more.

Bob - Those BW are just gorgeous. LOVE THEM

Thanks guys!

A few more, this time evening on the way home. Both color and B&W

Hm, I like them both, but BW just stands out more. I probably like the composition of #2 more, but the 3 dimentionality of the depiction of bus is quite attractive on the #1.

Luka, I tend to agree but I like the overall composition with the bus. I prefer black and white but I loved how the colors pop.

Another stitch with the 100 f2 CY

Great shot Bob

nibutto, love your shots + pp. are you adding heavy vignetting?

Yes, a lot of:
contrast
sharpness
vignetting
saturation
added to these wide open shots with the 100 macro.
Probably too much....I lose a lot of info on the shadows

Nibutto, great set. Love #1, looks like the statue has been cut out with a razor blade!

Very nice, great use of vertical for a different feeling than the classic sunset photo.
