narrowness, functionality, dissoluteness, togetherness.
lisbon, for life.
touching tram
it's absolutely great to notice, that one, who apparently drives the tram a fairly petty route 300 meters up and down the hill since years now, is still so dedicated to his equipment and overall job. this must be the thing called devotion!

(not yet) worthy of being numbered among history.
high contrast b/w, sooc.

the biggest advantage of joining your girl with shopping is the fact that you can finally read all the stuff you have kicked down the road all the time. alternatively you can observe and track other husbands while doing exactly this, right?

not everyone lives the life from which i'd showed snippets yesterday. hard contrasts, once again. stiff subject...
lisbon life
as promised i'm coming back to my perception of yesterday's, detailed image. it's common that colour is a central design medium in southern europe. one and even f.e. the portuguese themselves might accept that their cities can be characterised by organised mess. additionally, as i already mentioned a few postings back, the many and apparently never disappearing building sites take the same line and produce lots of textures, spread all over the city, marking the historic cityscape. moreover very special circumstances - like narrow and steep alleys - can make for hard contrasts that amplify all the effects and highlight the different peculiarities, i've listed so far.
last but not least only people provide vitality and link all the characteristic elements to an authentic system. for that reason i dedicate today's posting solely to lisbon's wonderful people.
preserver of lisbon's colour
the last four days of our holidays were spent in lisbon. unfortunately i'm in a rush today, so i'll come back to story and background of this imho again very characteristic image and its relation to the city tomorrow.

new era?
so today was this one big, special announcement day? everyone of you might have realised the incredible news about the sony a7, a7r and rx10...
well, actually i for one have rather longed for a camera with, let's say, at least the same iq than my nex7, but smaller dimensions; than for one with even better (full frame) features and therefor a noticeably more bulky design.
how do you think about a completely, actually more to be expected rx10 scenario: the same or an improved version of the nex7 sensor, an extendable 35 or 50 mm (ff äquivalent) lens, like the nikon coolpix a, and all this together with the mandatory rest packed into the smallest possible body (maybe with the size of a rx100)? how do you, sony? some other time, perhaps. by the look of things my nex7 will stay with me for at least another year, which is anything but sad...
cut! another topic: the image above is my first photograph processed on my new (mega, mega cool) ultrabook machine, first time with lightroom 5.2, too. everything works like charm so much that i don't ever want to stop processing my vacation snaps. i'll give all the features (and windows 8.1 from tomorrow on) a try and report at the latest in a few days.
so for me a new era is beginning right now, if not necessarily concerning photography itself. therewith i first of all have to improve my own artistical skills, instead of enhancing the specs of my equipment more and more. like i said, just my 2 cents!

perfect match... but i wonder, how the tiny little renault 4 will look in late autumn?
