Great shots @pechelman

I like the first and last ones best

One of my favorite spots on earth. Terlingua, TX. Just outside of Big Bend National Park. This is a yurt the wife and I enjoy staying at when we need to unplug. This area has one of, if not the, darkest sky in the US. I happened to catch this shooting star one night.

These are amazing @Go-For-Chill
We had similar skies back in 2018 in Lassen Volcanic NP but I was nowhere near having the skills let alone the equipment as you to catch it properly haha

@pechelman The bridge shot is amazing! Definitely stands out.

@pechelman

Love these aesthetic. The rocking chairs really did it for me.

[pechelman]

Thanks for the kind words y'all and glad they were enjoyed. We had a bunch of fun there and would definitely go back.

@Go-For-Chill really beautiful shots

@pechelman All really great,but gravitate towards the three empty chair shots.

[weftyarn]

Three more from Chicago.

And a couple from Detroit.
I fell in love with this city!
So much character.

@Go-For-Chill incredible shots. I’ve always regretted not visiting the Big Bend area when I lived in TX.

@weftyarn are you shooting with the x100vi ?

@louisbosco said in Photograph and Camera talk:

@weftyarn are you shooting with the x100vi ?

Wish I had one for such trips but no, it’s my trusty X-T4.
But my most used lens is by far the 23mm 1.4,
so you had the right gut feeling!

[louisbosco]

@weftyarn have you got any thoughts on that cs Ricoh or the Leica D-lux 8??

Was in japan and was pondering getting a camera again. Last used was Sigma 50 art with a canon 6d. But somehow I feel like I’m sick of interchangeable lenses and want something that’s easy to bring about. The R5 is still very high on the temptation list

[pechelman]

If you want a leica fixed lens, skip the dlux which I've always thought were rebranded Panasonic Lumix series. The q series is the only fixed lens from them I'd consider. The Ricoh used to be a good option compared to the x100 series but I don't know these days. I'd certainly look there before the leica even despite my affinity for their m cameras.

@weftyarn great images!!!

[alexxedge]

Started up my sunrise walks working on a on-going personal project called 6am in Greensboro.

It’s favorite time to be out in the city. Quiet. Great light. Nobody bothering me.

All shot with my Leica M5, Voigtlander 35mm Ultron on Fuji 400 (US made)

[pechelman]

im still convinced you never sleep @alexxedge

Great shots

[tody]

@alexxedge the light is great indeed!

[Marc2706]

@pechelman M cameras are pure beauty!

[pechelman]

completely agree @Marc2706 but they're also so much fun to use.

Last week I was in Iran, one of my favorite countries. I don‘t mean the politicians which are really very bad, but the Iranian people are wonderful. Their hospitality is legendary. They always take care of you and I never felt unsafe. Let me show you some photos of this country, I start with the island of Qschm, deep in the south of Iran, near the street of Hormuz. Breathtaking landscapes, beautiful sea.

City of Laft with beautiful wind towers

Traditional Lenji wooden boats which are still in use for the trades with the UAE and other countries in the Gulf area.

Qeschm feels like a small „hippie“ island, no hijab, nobody cares. It was the first place in Iran where I saw men with short trousers and women with tops. At the beginning my wife had a scarf around her hair, but they said „you don‘t need it here, Teheran is far away“

Boat trip to the Dolphins

We were lucky to find some dolphins

Older people still wear traditional clothes

But if you are lucky, you also can find a „Persian princess“ in the mountains
