Didn’t that “no trousers” picture make you laugh? ..I laughed my socks off when I saw that!

Cheers, I am doing portrait work next week with the Df – god only knows what will come of that experience.

Ah: zooming in and out using your thumb and forefinger doesn’t bring up any greater detail: it just magnifies each bit of the screen so that as you enlarge it, it becomes more indistinct instead of showing more details!

Mike’s probably a bit busy with all his other articles in the works – and I haven’t finished my “..wide-aperture lenses ..the 50mm ‘Noctilux’, etcetera..” yet.

But maybe I’ll put a few Venice pics on my site – which is just odds and ends, and has no coherence and isn’t really maintained – and then I’ll send you an email and you can have a look at them. They’re nothing special ..I think the Mexican ones are better, actually!

Happy Df-ing!

So I came back and had another look – if I press on the image it blows up to a nearly full screen size, and then I just zoom in and out in using my thumb and fore finger in a similar fashion to an IPad, but using the glass surface thing on my Macbook Pro – works a treat, and I can get in close and enjoy those images.

I for one would love to see Venice, its a place that fascinates me, and one on the short list of places to go and see. In fairness, I wouldn’t knock seeing stuff on the other locations.

You’re welcome; my pleasure, Jean.

I think that pictures usually benefit from a few thoughts about them from the photographer.

“..a remarkable culture..” ..well, I find that pretty much everywhere has a remarkable culture ..if it’s not what I’m used to, day-by-day, then I find it remarkable, whether it’s New York, Istanbul, Athens, Jerusalem, Muscat, Munich, Harare, Cape Town or wherever. Every place is special ..to me.

Thanks, Farhiz: I’ll have a look on Amazon right this minute!

Thanks, Richard ..well, you were the inspiration!

“..what else do you have hidden up your sleeve?..” ..see my reply to Dave Seargeant, up above. Oh, and a few pictures of Greece, Germany, Italy. Enough to make an annual Blurb book of about 80 pages each!
