I recently bought a Minolta 28-70/2.8 G zoom, the first and only ‘G’ glass so far in my arsenal! Minolta’s (or now Sony’s) ‘G’ series consists of top of the line lenses that are made using the highest quality optics and materials. This zoom carries with it a legendary reputation for image sharpness and bokeh so I took it out for a spin yesterday along the Rhine here. Here is one result from that shoot. I wish I had taken a tripod along as this shot would have been so much better with it. As it is there is some camera shake. I wish I could have avoided the distraction of those bright lights on the lower left but I wanted to include the human element on the lower right and therefore was forced to include the lights as well.

Day 5 in the People’s Week theme running here. A candid I captured behind the Cologne cathedral. It is one great area for capturing nice candids here. I love the calculating look on the guy’s face. I never did ask his permission to shoot (he did not even notice if I remember correctly) so I’m not sure if this shot is 100% ethical or not. What do you think?

Moving on to other things, I made some subtle changes to the site. Among other things, I streamlined the top bar above the image, removed the styleswitcher and consolidated everything into one theme. I hope this makes the process of navigation through the site smoother. As always, I value your feedback a lot so please feel free to drop me a line if something is not working well or you think needs improvement. There are a few more things that I’d like to add but since I know zilch about php, css or html it entails a painful and lengthy process of trial of error if I need to implement something new! I hope I’ll be able to figure out things by the end of this week.
