Nicola, nice!! I love the set and I miss that little 28mm Skopar, another one of the many lenses I should not have sold.
I had M8 and 28 color skopar with me during "Walk to Santiago"
Good combo

Hi all, indulge me with a bunch of image spam...
So a couple days ago, I was dropping off Christmas goodies to clients at the local university where I do some work, when I walked around the corner of the hospital complex and heard running water. A lot of running water. And saw this:
It had been cold for a couple days and it caused a water main break (turned out to be a 50cm/2' diameter pipe). Other than cars driving through it, a reason I heard a lot of running water was because it was draining to the lowest point in the area.... the hospital's basement parking garage.
I must have arrived shortly after it started because emergency personnel hadn't yet arrived, nor had many spectators. People were driving through the intersection, but most turned around (though the Audi above did not - even with my now somewhat beat up A4, I wouldn't have risked it).
Later I heard the hospital had announced a 'Code Aqua' alert. People I spoke to said their initial reaction was WTF is Code Aqua?
Anyway, with the announcement came the rush by those parked in the garage (patients, doctors, staff, etc.) to get their cars out...
The garage has two exits. Initially cars were only allowed out of the one away from the water... but I guess at some point the decision was made to also let cars out the flooded ramp. While watching through the skylight, as soon as they opened the second exit, it was like a panic rush to get out as quickly as possible. Kind of like what you see in 'end of the world' movies, but to a lesser extent.
So, now that cars were also exiting out the flooded area, instead of letting them drive straight onto the main street, officials made them turn left and pass through somewhat deeper water onto a minor street.
. Of course, it being a small street, it backed up and slowed the evacuation. But as a spectator, it was golden for photo opportunities of cars in water.
After a while it got repetitive, so I tried experimenting a bit panning at slow shutter speeds (1/30 and 1/25).
There were a bunch of angles to the story, like the student rental housing along that street where at least one house was flooded... Instead I went down into the parking garage to see what was going on, hoping not to get kicked out...
Turns out the firemen down there were just making sure no one was stuck in the water, which never got more than around a foot deep. The maintenance guys I spoke to said there are pumps down there for this reason. The firemen were mostly wandering around and helping ferry people to their cars in wheelchairs so they wouldn't get wet feet...
As a spectator it was a fun 'disaster' to observe that wasn't all too serious and no one was injured, though I did overhear a few people complaining about their ruined cars (first world problems, eh?). That said, I've parked down there many times and I'm sure I'd also be complaining if it happened to me.
Moral of the story, as a photographer: bring along the camera as often as possible because you never know what might be waiting for you around the corner. Not as important or dramatic an event as the Russian ambassador's assassination, for example, but it was front page local news.
Equipment used: M240, 21SEM, 28 Lux, CV35/1.7M, 50 Lux ASPH, 90ME (kind of wish I had the 90AA along instead... but the 90ME worked out OK). For the images above: 2x 21SEM, 11x CV35, 9x 50 Lux ASPH, 3x 90ME. There were some shots/angles I didn't pursue for the lack of a longer lens, i.e. a 70-200, such as a tight, compressed shot of cars plowing through water... but on the whole, I think it worked out OK.
Thanks for indulging me with this long post. Hopefully you enjoyed the story.

Ron, Thank you for sharing the story and nice set of reportage images. It is funny you managed use so many different lenses for shooting under this condition, respect!
All by 50lux from DC, should be WO other than first one maybe f2.8.

These are two "pretties" on a break outside a department store. A "pretty" — the English adjective is used in Thai as a noun — is a young woman, usually a college student or a recent graduate, who works, occasionally, presenting brand-name products at a department store or tradeshow. Apart from being pretty they speak Thai in a well articulated and educated accent.
