Same for me Markus. I have taken images that have blown me away only to have
others fail to see it as I do, I guess it has something to do with being in
the moment.
Unless you're on assignment, you only have to please yourself.

Hi Kenneth
Thanks for looking at both PESO and your honest answer.
I really would like to see if your opinion is shared by most here, I could
easily imagine that this photo leaves most cold.
Honestly, sometimes I'm not sure about (the quality) of my photographic
taste or what really "made" me take it
but I start to like the "aesthetics of ugliness" of industrial
surroundings"
if you know what I mean and liked the graphical and simple style of the
sign
here ;-)
greetings
Markus

Subject: PESO:Sullana cigar factory sign
Hi Pentaxians
lately on a stroll in the "ugly" industrial quarters of Zurich I tested
the
SP Tamron 70-150mm 2.8 soft focus portrait lens.
I have no "soft focus" test shots so far but will soon make some. Soft
focus
only works at apertures from 2.8-4 so I have to look for a good
subject. I
forgot that when I took a photo of a bottle of wine and a glass
both dated
1959 last week but with an aperture of F8.
This former cigarette factory sign attracted me somehow and I
would love
to
hear from you whether I works for you and if it evokes some emotions in
you
or just leaves you cold. It could be a good candidate for a b/w
conversion,
what do you think?
Made with the SP Tamron at 150mm.
