Cracking picture, Simon!

Muy profesional...like the Sunday Times magazine or an in-flight magazine picture.

Aha ....so you sneaked up to London then, to watch the Kate & Willie show "en vivo"?

cheers,

Ron

What happens if you lean on the doors?

Mind the Gap! Don't lean on the doors!

Such a dictatorial culture that London :)

wow that is great ...so clear ! and hd

i am just discovering the wonderful world of photoshop !!, i always had it but never played around with it...since i was designing a poster and trying to make a few different photos from diff cameras look similar to each other in color i discovered some cool cool functions in it, like the one where you can tune each color individually without effecting the others ...turning photos i used to hate into photos i like

You fall out

and don't say you weren't warned. Same as when you fall under a tube train.

I missed the Royal Wedding, too many crowds but London is a reasonable day out on a Sunday what with free parking at Notting Hill Gate, a quick whiz around the sights then dinner at my mate's restaurant. Trouble is, I have seen them all when I lived there, but the wife loves the place and she's the boss.

Thanks for your kind comments. I fully intend to sell my photos like a pro, one day!

The quality of the Zeiss lens is just amazing. For a 60 years old camera, I doubt that many of today's products are on the same level. That clarity reminds me of a big format Mamiya camera that I used for a while in the 80's, although it didn't seem to have quite the same depth that's present in your pictures.

Yeah, that would be me

Zeiss is my favourite lens and especially on the Rolleiflex - this one just wants to breathe again. I hear the Mamiya 6 and 7 are awesome too.

I am going to look at a Bessa II 6x9 folder from 1951 this week. You never know.
