*** This Week Through Your Eyes 2024.12.14 ***

Thanks, no it isn't.

Lovely "dark" atmosphere in these two shots. I think I like the second the most.

Quite a daring composition, with that grill in the foreground. My eye flicks between that and the background.

Thanks.
No, it's the Olympus 40-150 R - under £100 new, and weighs nothing. 😀

These are all rather nice. Well done!

My picks. I love the subtle colours you capture in the late autumn woods.

Thanks, that's why I uploaded it full res.

I like snow when it stays as snow. Nice geometry in your photo.

Very peaceful. mFT has wonderful, lightweight, small inexpensive lenses.

One of my favourite cities. I'd love to see it like this in winter. There's a warmth coming through these shots that is very appealing. As I remember Simonis, there are signs asking that photos not be taken. I assumed they meant inside so I sneaked some outside too.
I like the angle you managed of the tower with the famous colonnaded walks included. The illumination picks up the internal features and the arches. My shots were in the daylight and didn't get those internal details.
I respectfully disagree with your "nothing artistic" disclaimer.

You have a number of absolutely amazing shots and it's very difficult to select just one, but...

This one is truly "forest bathing " type, particularly with a human figures at the end.

Great atmosphere here.

Interesting colour chosen to light up this tower, looks like it's molten hot.

I envy such locations, all we get is some snow, then it half-melts and turns into bone-breaking ice... I miss proper winters.'
4th shot is my favorite, blue sky and fresh snow with some powder tracks, perfect.

I have tried similar shots but had not much success, you managed to keep both moon and trees in reasonable focus, that what seems to fail for me most of the time.
I almost can hear howl of wolf or hoot of owl.

Love this shot, tree nicely framed with branches from other trees.

Yeah, I tried back home to crop it but it didn't seem to work, I should have framed it better when I took the shot. But for my defense I can say that by that time when I took that shot I was hammered 5 hours with most extreme rock music such as goregrind and black metal, so I was quite exhausted. On Saturday it was repeated, this time for 6 hours, so today I'm trying recovery mode :D But I tried to be more operative for this fest event and took my laptop with me, so between bands I uploaded shots to computer, selected handful, made basic processing and put them out to facebook. All I learned is that it's hard to compete with cell phones on publishing speed front nowadays, if I ever want to do it again I need to hire assistant...

Nice PP. It's become a dark and dramatic image, with the huge buildings towering above that little bike.
