Today with your Pentax

Back in Ingelheim, I took two trips out today. First time, I spotted this.

Second time shooting wide open with my big 135mm, I captured this minimally cooperative portrait of my trusted companion.

And just for Dino, here's a shot I also took today from the streets of Ingelheim. This guy is always playing on Saturdays in the town square.

Great set Jason.
The Blister Beetle shot is really good and the city shot is very interesting. Someone else saw you through a window on right and the reflections on the left. BUT HOLD ON. That is not someone smiling through a window. It is an advert on the window?? Underneath people sat around a table having lunch or something. SEE WHAT I MEAN. I still do not even understand what exactly is going on at that window on the right. Is it an advert ? All these things combined means it is a great street shot or at least I like it a lot. Opinions differ on Street Photography so you will always get someone that hates them too.

Dino, on the right of the accordionist is a pastry and ice cream shop, and the smiling lady is only an advert or wall art of some kind. I was across the street from inside another grocery store eating area, so there are probably some more reflections from that window too.

Taking more time to really view this image, I find I really like it. The color and rendition from that old 35mm lens is nice. Perspective, well, the left building leans in a bit more than I think would happen with a modern optic. Maybe not, and easily corrected. The red car oncoming adds interest and almost makes me miss the most intriguing part. Wait! What' are those in the sky? A sky train? Sky rail? Where does it begin? Where does it end. Fascinating to this Californian where nothing like this exists in any cities, maybe just ski areas in the Sierras.

Great shot!
