Markus, interesting about the "neutral profile". Perhaps there is something similar in Aperture. I really need to sit down and go from good to expert with this program at some point. I also want to give Capture One another try, it is meant to be very good. Great shots, btw, but I prefer the first one, which is a very interesting and unusual angle of that building. The 17 TS-E is really a lens which makes me consider Canon (before I reject the idea  ). Maybe the next time we meet I can try it?
Philippe, we wouldn't *dream* of keeping you away, so start planning around 1 1/2 months from now. After a brief discussion here (I will get Bernhard to come along this time too), we could try to pick a date early, so that plans may be made. What about the weekend of September 18/19. Is there anyone here who would like to come, but cannot come on that weekend? (The following weekend I cannot, btw).
Anyway, Philippe, I agree about the first shot. It is even missing a ground, and feels like it is floating a bit. But the second and third shots are both excellent! I prefer the third one because of the girl, but without, I would prefer the second one. Both great. I think you are too hard on yourself. You are a busy man, and fitting photography in between all this, with the distractions which come from thoughts of work, I am amazed at what you produce. The best photography is IMO made when the mind cup is empty, and the time cup is full I try to produce such situations every week or two, just for 6-8 hours, but only succeed sometimes. Then I can work very nicely.
Vincent, I think I like this version of the first shot better. I won't comment on the second one as it isn't alt  Don't cancel your 25/2 order! If you don't want it, I will buy it! Your 25+24TS-E plan is interesting, but wouldn't it make more sense to go 21+24TS-E in that case? That would give you one lens with a bit more width. Or maybe you don't even need that. 24TS-E shifted left for one shot, then right for another, and wham, perfect panorama with almost no effort. No alt glass though = no posts here. I realized recently that a significant part of my enjoyment of photography comes from posting and discussing it here.
Here is a shot which I don't think anyone else managed to get That good ole fisheye. Interesting that the venetian blinds appear to be on the outside of the building. I am surprised they have not been vandalized, but then again, this is Berlin.
