Dpedraza - Nice images. Thanks for posting these I have been thinking about getting the CV15 or CV 12 for my MM and lately have been reminding myself how wide 15mm is. Even though cropped on an M8 I get a better feel what it will look like on a RF instead of on my Canikons.
Joakim - The 50 lux my favorite and my most used lens. Cool classic rail buses. Is it part of a museum collection or still used? Looks in excellent shape. I noticed the pop cans in the window of your 2nd shot. My guess it is still used. Thanks for showing some 24s. This is the other focal length I am thinking about which I feel would complete my kit. Though probably not the Lux.
Gary - Very nice when I first started looking at the shots not knowing the meaning behind it, I was reminded of a tree on the road west of Amboy California on Route 66 where there is a tree on the side of the road covered in shoes and many on the ground next to it. Nice captures it is always neat when one can look at an image and be reminded of things from our own past.
Bruniroquai - very nice I like the first shot nice effect and the eye grabs my attention right away. The 2nd I love the patterns of the roof.
Zhangyue - Trains all aboard. The tunnel shot makes me think of trains in Europe though the wodden platforms and riveted train cars remind me of days gone of the old West. Makes me wonder if some of those riveted cars have panel wood in behind. Here at Heritage Park in Calgary we have a car the was riveted with metal but in behind is the old wood that once adorned railcars for all to see. Nice to see these older styles still in use. Great shots.
Adam - Hope you feel better now that you posted. Love the colors on the 1st two, sort of a monochramatic feel to then but not greys but rather pinks and greens.
I'm still inspired but all my shooting as of late has required me to use my Canon and Nikon, though I did purposely do some shooting using 15mm and 24mm to remind me what the focal length looks like to help me in decide if I should add those to my kit. My mind is also preoccupied as I have decided to go for my certificate in Photography and Videography at a local school as well as continue to train for my upcoming 1/2 marathon at the end of September in Banff. I have only registered for the videography course thus far as I needed them to waive te prerequisite but I am thinking for the Photography course(s)once I decide which to take the MM will be useful for some assignment shots.
burningheart, I didn't do any research but there was two guys working with the engine so my guess from that and some stuff in the station house is that it is in action during the summer as some sort of tourist attraction.
Edward, Somehow, I just have a strong feeling that Leica will face trouble. I am not sure T or X will sell well, and they expand so much that there is simply no such a market to swallow such high ticket lens or body. The MILC market is getting bloody tough which is far from the situation at the time M9 0r M8 come...and the real problem I see is Leica seems chasing Japanese company for the feature and electronic gadget etc..., but we all know those Japanese MILC are disposable...
Anyway, who care, as long as I still love my Leica M and know what I need
Force myself back to pace, a few from today, Stanford Museum, more to come.
35cron Summicron V1, 8 element
The old friends feeling What a relief, I almost sold it

Thanks, that's what I was intending to do. But hard to get like colours. I have a few other images that I think might fit with that "like colours" series, but they're not desert plants, so kinda don't fit with the plant type. And if I do that, then I might be shooting flowers and all sorts of things, and then it gets easy.
Most photo courses I've taken in university have been darkroom centric. Guess that was a while ago, maybe now everyone has gone digital?
zhangyue - Third shot is good. And don't sell your Leica. Who cares what they do, use the M system until Leica dies out and goes bankrupt. Then just adapt your lenses to something like Sony when and only when you absolutely have to

Glad to see all the shots on here and also know I'm not the only one who's busy and/or uninspired. Have been missing you guys zhangyue, Adam and Allen... And Edward and the others.
In the past 6 years we have had 2 mega-fires within a few miles or even less, both unprecedented for thousands of years in size and impact. Here is a set showing the most recent fire last fall: Beaver Creek Fire
interesting views do open: L1018399 by unoh7, 28cron
even in crisis, the backcountry is beautiful: L1018587 by unoh7, 50 cron
The last three shots show whitebark pines, cornerstone of protein and shelter above 8500ft in central Idaho. We have lost 90% in the last decade, as the old hard "20 below for two weeks" winters warm and many more Mountain Pine beetles survive and reach up to the whitebarks.

Oh, thank you, that was actually more useful than I thought. I decided the smaller one would be more appropriate (more comfortable).
So... I have a lens, card, case, soft release, strap. No camera yet though
Hah! . I already have bags (but don't intend to use one), have a tripod (but don't intend on using one), the lens came with a ND filter (might be handy for bright days and wider aperture, although never bothered with this myself, so we shall see if I ever use it), and flash... Well, no I don't have one for that fitting but I am a natural light lover, so won't buy one.
Yeah, you can go a far way without tripod, flash filter and such.
A b&w selfie. The serious look is because I had to concentrate a lot to position myself and the camera for this to work with the slightly curved surface. M9 and 35 Lux
Thank you Charlie and Zhangyue for the nice comments!
Lovely shots on this page.
Bruno, nice portraits as usual.
Charlie, great landscapes and colors. Your recent work is outstanding!
Joan, cute jail shot
Joakim, that's a dramatic selfie there!
Allen, fantastic street work as usual.
Zhangyue, well done with sharp sunstars and human element.
Love the colors on the 1st two, sort of a monochramatic feel to then but not greys but rather pinks and greens.
