      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

              @Marc2706 amazing. A place that feels exotic and otherworldly to me.

                @pechelman lol I’ve always been an early riser. Just finding ways to take advantage of this curse that has been bestowed upon me.

                    @SKT this is easily the third try I’ve taken for this scene. The first two were from a different angle, and the light was not nearly as good. I’m with you, there’s definitely something about doorways. Getting close to liminal space territory.

                              @Jett129 I really enjoyed the B/W photos that you did a while back (Gypsy teller). Maybe some more of those?

                                @Jett129 oh definitely! Creativity and inspiration for sure comes in waves. This has been an on-off personal project for a couple of years. I’ll definitely share more as I work on it. Maybe one day, I’ll be happy enough with shots to do a zine or something.

                                  @Marc2706 spectacular!! I love the close up portraits. My favorite type of photography.

                                          @pechelman thanks mate. I think the Leica is out of question then. the 1 series is nice but a very much out of the price bracket between those 3.. seems like all is pointing towards the x100vi
