Yes, we like manual lenses and manual rockets
P.S. not to make a point but to give reward to the hard work of the people who deserves it: several advanced electronic and optical components in the two space telescopes (the Hubble, and the other one whose name I can't recall now) were designed and built here.

Well, I was very happy of the abstract quality of the flag shot, but perhaps I have overrated it, as most comments do not seem to even notice it. This shows perhaps how highly subjective our evaluation is. What seems out of ordinary to someone, seems average or not worth noticing for others.

Hi, Orio!
This happens to me often. I am amazed by a picture and then everybody comments on some other ones.
Often, I guess, the photographer connects a special feeling to a shot that hardly can be conveyed by a picture.
You're right, there is something special to it, but I really think there is something special to the second one!
The way she is placed in the picture, the fact that she looks away from the beholder and her posture expresses a kind of longing, as if she yearns for somebody...
Nice, very nice!

Orio,
In the picture of the wistful, longing, lady...are those artifacts or is it
starting to rain?
Carsten, it's "nice, nice, very nice" if you're quoting Kurt Vonnegut jr

Yes, in this case I immediately thought of Magritte. Even when I was shooting. It was intentional.

Yes, the shot as is is rather ambiguous, when you will see the whole sequence it will be clear what she is doing - this is a show they held in the piazza d'armi (weapons square - does it make any sense in English?) of the castle. It was a large theater company from Milano, the show was a sort of postmodern, tolkienized-hollywoodianized version of the mythical Ragnarok.
BTW the young lady is the virgin in white and she is bringing the sword of the power that the forces of Good (who won the fight the previous year) are giving back before the new battle against the forces of the Evil.
(As you can understand, there is not much left of the original Ragnarok concept - but we are living in the age of the Big Brother so this is the level of culture that we must expect from popular shows today...)

It was raining!
The show was delayed for a little. Here the rain is almost ending so they restarted.
Amazing how good the rain may look in photograph when you use the right exposure time eh?
It must be not too slow to blur, and not too fast to make the trace too small.
EDIT:
I wanted to add that I am amazed more and more by my little Jupiter-37s.
Look at how it saturates the color even when the image is all in the shade - I underexposed intentionally because of the rain, I wanted the rain to show and the tone to be dark, to transmit the feeling of the cool raindrops - but it's the performance of the lens that is amazing! The best underexposed picture I shot in a long time.

Yes, color saturation is superb in this one. Perhaps the magic of the
CMOS sensor potentiates this effect as well. Although I am
impressed by the color def when using the lens with a 35mm film cam.

yes, shoot this with my Canon 100mm and it will be nowhere near this density.

Oh Orio, you mustn't think that! In my case I think I know when I see something I like, but I don't feel at all qualified to comment on the artistic merits of a picture, so I generally stay silent.
Frankly I don't understand some of the posts that go into raptures about a B&W picture of some rusty nuts and bolts, for example, but I'm trying to learn. I don't personally see much artistic merit in your picture of the flag flying through the air but, taken with a manual lens, it is technically magnificent in my opinion. |

Well to tell the truth the first photo caught my attention. How did he do that? Luck, skill, all of the above. Any way a great capture.
