As usual, there's been a continuous stream of beautiful imagery flowing into this thread of late. Here are a couple of efforts at dreamy monochrome. The first was taken at Englishman River Falls with the 55 f/1.2 SC, and the second was shot at Rosewall Provincial Park with the 16 f/3.5 Ai.

Phillippe, I wonder where she is hitchhiking to. The sign doesn't help me much
I like the 180mm f2,8. You use it's strengths well in that photograph. It does look like the image was skewed in post processing though. Gives the whole a nice surreal quality
Thanks Buddy for your comment.
I don't know where she's hitchhiking either... I bet she will ultimately arrive in Rome given that "all roads lead to Rome"...
I agree that the pic looks a bit skewed but I don't know why - I don't think it comes from PP since that shot is pratically straight out of the camera.
I thought too at first glance that it was a wider angle. Maybe that was just her.
Philippe, there was a 180 3.4 Leica Apo-Telyt street photograph you took a few years ago that was absolutely amazing, made me actually get hold of that lens, although I can't reproduce that magic you have
Thank you Laura, Ken, ..... we are taking my mother to her home from the hospital today. We are lucky to be able to have all the in-home care she needs. Although the stroke was serious she retains all function, is in no pain,and will have good quality of life. She is 91 so it is all about that. Good quality of life. One of the advantages of being from a small Latin country is that she has to daughters and a large extended family nearby.
Here I am down in the French Alps again .... approx 150 clicks from Phillipe (nice Romans Phillipe)
so chilling out and shooting a few with the 105mm f2.8 micro
Very near to le Alps d'Huez where they had a crazy Dutch charity event up the mountain the other day.
Some people went up it 6 times .... wowser 13 kilometres of hard climbing, some on bikes some running and some walking ..... those Dutch are nutz
