I am partial to Saturday meetings over Sundays, and I cannot say that I have been overexcited by the company's images?. I have sse pics of decommissionned hospitals/asylums/prisons which were spectacular, but apparently not this one. Am I missing something?
Philippe, there are lots of these buildings around Berlin. Most people enter them without a guided tour and without permission.
But this often (sometimes) ends with a not so friendly contact to a private security firm or the German police. There are many reports about such experiences in the links I posted above.

Boris
Boris, I wasn't thinking of going AWOL. Just, I thought the advertising pictures showed a building that I didn't find as "appealing" as some others. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't come...
After having arrived in Berlin the first establishment I visited was Café Pause at Dahlmannstraße. I had a cup of tea together with a big ham- and cheese-sandwich. What a nice start of a very nice weekend. I would like to thank Carsten (and Boris I believe) for the arrangements including the nice welcoming, the shooting locations and finally the dinner in the evening. I don't forget the rest of you, or us?, who made up the nice little group.) It seems as there never is time enough at meetings like this.
Thank you, all of you. I look forward to the next time, perhaps during the spring 2012?! (And may Cafe Pause excuse me the somewhat altered painting.)
Jonas: brilliant image of the coffee shop. Love it. The portrait of Philippe was quite easy. First of all he's an excellent model and second I own V1 of that lens and it's not so much different, so I know how to use it.
Carsten: hm, not too much magenta on my calibrated screen, colors are perfect here.
Carsten: in my eyes this is the best set you posted so far from our meeting. 2 + 3 are amazing in every aspect, I really love them!
Very nice Philippe! I wonder how you captured the colours in #3. I remember that they are accurate in your image, but I took the same scene and WB is way of in my shots.
Thanks, Heinz! I actually also got a 'strange" WB. So I used the white patch on the left wall as a base, and just tweaked it a bit from there. Whew! For once that my PP is not far behind yours...
The first one there I like a lot. It's not often a dark thing in the foreground works that well.

Technically they aren't that different at all, using them in good light certainly is the same. But, you got a nice capture, in to time, well done.

I have to agree with Carsten. Now it partly is a matter of taste but fwiw, I think there is a littleof magenta cast.

Carsten, a feww shots, including with the 21, so that you feell less lonesome...
Philippe, these are very nice. I like the one with the blue and yellow colours. Chaotic indeed, but certainly nice and a lot to look at. The last one is a very good choice of vantage point.
Btw, it isn't that the colours in general are too magenta, just that I know from having met Philippe that his skin tone is more neutral than that. Something happened to the skin. Does the camera have too-weak IR filtering? Or was there a sunset in progress?
Very nice!
