I had decided to enter this week’s Dyxum Photo C)and looking to enter another photo I played around with the original color photo of this. I liked the end result so much that I decided to post it here as well as enter it into the contest!

As the exif data suggests this is from a little while back. I haven’t shot anything over this weekend so I raided the archives and came up with this! There is something about the way he is looking at something, equal parts melancholia and plain curiosity that caught my eye.

On a slightly technical note I thought of cropping out the leg peeping into the shot on the left but in the end decided to leave it as the resultant crop was looking a bit abrupt.

This is my lab colleague up to his usual clowning with me! Inspite of horribly overexposing a part of his left ear and the wall behind him I put this up as it is the first decent pic from any of my newly bought Minolta prime lenses. This was taken by the 50mm/f1.7. It is so sharp and fast! I’m beginning to love the quality prime lenses give even though they are not as convenient as zooms. Once the other two primes I’ve bought are delivered I’ll be in business!

Staying with Berlin, something that caught my eye. No longer remember where exactly this was taken.

Another shot from the same place as the one posted yesterday. Flipped and inverted it to lend it a more dramatic tone. What do you think? Does it work?

I finally made my way to a neighborhood park today. So expect to see some park photos over the next few days. Unfortunately, I shot everything with the ISO set on 1600 (didn’t realize that until I got home) so the noise levels, in what otherwise should have been clean images, are rather high. Oh well mistakes do happen!

Taken at the same time as this.

I fell in love with this sculpture the moment I saw it. A beautiful emotion conveyed in a simple and elegant way. Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of the artist. This was on display at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Brussels.

An art piece in front of the new Town Hall in Mainz, Germany. Very interesting form.
