Bar Linda outside Golders Green with my Laowa 12mm
Golders Green Station with my Laowa 12mm. Shutter speed of 1/5s is fun. It's not #icm yet blurs some bits and leaves others clean.
Also, I'm playing with Photoscape X which has a free version that produced this mess.

A selection of pictures taken with my new Laowa 12mm. Frankly, this is a very hard lens to work with, as it exaggerates whatever is nearby. Duh!
Through the window of a guitar shop, the statue of George Peabody, the Queen Anne statue in front of St Paul's and a diaphanous bus to Golders Green.

I just received this superwide lens.
It's a Laowa 12mm f/2.8, which has three things I like, because it:
1) is full frame
2) is not a fisheye
3) has Autofocus
4) didn't cost me an arm and a leg
OK, that's four...

A recent visit to the Grand Palais in Paris to see an exhibition of works by Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely, Pontus Hulten. As always, I like seeing how people react to the works they are seeing, as they so often rhyme. De Saint Phalle's universe is extraordinary.

A sunset from a few weeks ago with all the elements I like: Broken clouds, "Jesus" beams and electricity pylons.

In Notre-Dame Cathedral, I was drawn to the votive candles not just as a source of light but as an opportunity to photograph people. This picture is an #icm in order to disguise the faces of those during an intimate moment. I hope this works.

This pic tries to capture the central heart of Notre-Dame, the crossing, looking toward the choir and apse. I wanted to catch the chandeliers washing the pillars and stonework with warm light, while also revealing the stained-glass windows across the apse lit with cool daylight. #icm

This is a detail of Nicolas Coustou’s Pietà (1725) on the high altar of Notre-Dame Cathedral seen from behind. It seems to tell a different story than if seen from the Choir.

Cité des Fleurs on Île de la Cité, Paris, I saw this woman with flowers the colour of the clothes she was wearing.
I approached. She didn't speak French or English; I didn't speak Portuguese. She signed that it was OK for me to take her picture.
My camera chose her flowers over her face. Obrigado!

Tonight there is a supermoon!
This happens when the moon is at its perigee or closest to us in its egg-shaped orbit around the Earth. During a supermoon, it looks bigger and brighter than normal.
If you usually grow hair on your back and howl at the full moon, tonight should be a biggie for you!
