from tomorrow on i'm going to spend some days at the sea on a small, but not so lonely island. if the signal strength will allow me to access the internet from my mobile phone, i'll publish my daily pics directly from the htc one again. have a nice weekend!
up and down
time and space
two things are infinite: the universe and human beauty in old age; and I'm not sure about the universe. [albert einstein, modified by me]
twisted branches
broken legs
fortunately without broken arms or legs a great trip came to an end. journeys like that should been done more often.
a last sample with the fujian and high contrast b/w sooc for now. switch back to sony lenses and raw processing.
sight-seeing
well, yes, i'd understate, if i call the fujian a not so sharp lens. it's rather appropriate to declare it as a blur-machine. but hey, who cares, if you choose the right subjects? photographing the wonderful dome would have surely given me non-satisfying results, distortion and sharpness are horrible. even stopping down does not affect corner sharpness effectively, you just transform the ring-shaped spot of sharpness to a circle... however taking a subject with a small relevant area uses the weaknesses of the fujian as a strength.
the nex 7 attached with the little toy lens is the smallest package i'm able to set up with my current equipment. for that reason and because of the matter of our stay here in milan - a bachelor trip - i chose this combination. sooc, toy camera mode.

metro colours
in milan it's very easy to find out, in which metro you are currently sitting: each of the lines has its own colour, that can be found not only on the map, but also on the walls and even on the rails of the stations.

begging
poverty doesn't stop at borders of cities or countries. you will find this phenomenon in every corner of the world, especially in extraordinary expensive areas like here in milan.
once again the image was shot in jpg mode and processed in snapseed.
pharaoh in 2013
today one has to lead the people by writing dozens of whatsapp messages. unfortunately in the very same moment the nsa knows your intentions. and as i can imagine the presence of a head of state in the heart of a metropole might have caused bigger stirs in the past ;)
good old days, why haven't you been able to preserve your norms and values?
