Stroll Seen while strolling...walking and wandering outside

[BBW]

Thanks so much, Milan. I do understand what you're saying and agree it's good to keep this thread alive. Maybe I'll create a separate set for myself on Flickr to help me reflect on a more personal basis. I know some have their own websites, but that's beyond my scope at this stage of things. I can barely keep up here and with some of the good photo friends on Flickr (some of which are here and there).

A view I can pass by everyday if I want to, though it will never look the same, as seen by me with my Fuji X100.

Glorious blue once again, love the shadows and the contrast of the fence

While out taking cemetery pictures with my Graflex folder and my wife this afternoon I realized that my hand held light meter was dead. So I grabbed the D-Lux 5, handed it to my wife and asked her to use it as a spot meter for my light readings. I had it set to 100 ISO and black and white the same as the film I was using, gave her some basic camera function instructions and away we went. Not only did she give me the light readings I needed but took about 30 pretty amazing images which I was jealous of. Here's a few that I just had to share even though they're not mine. Oh, to make things worse she's a talented painter to boot...now I'm really jealous.

Yesterday's Dog Walk - EP3 17mm

Police dirt bikers. I was surprised to see them although they are presumably in training but then again, it's army land.

Foreign cigarettes?

A dog that isn't mine! He stopped resolutely and sat in front of me as he could smell the dog treats in my pocket (I gave him one).

Love the one with the dog, the colour and texture of the background really adds to the entire photo.

Tried to compress some 15 minutes of walk along the river into a triptych:

I like that, especially in "original" size on Flickr. Good choice of PP, it really suits the mood of these shots.

This is quickly becoming my all-time favourite genre. Here's one from a recent walk...

Julien,
thank you.

Christilou,
the last two from your series have fabulous pastel colors. What are these shot with? They have a medium format "gentle look" to them.

 

[christilou]

Pictogramax, I'm trialling Camera Bag App for my iMac (it's not very expensive at all!). I think this setting looks quite film like.

 

[pictogramax]

Damn, I'm on Android
And yes, you got a wonderful film like look. I'm sure it helps to have a good photo in the first place, though

 

[BBW]

I love your triptych, Milan - this is with your cell phone, yes? The color tones remind me so much of some very old color prints from long ago that my father took.

Christina, I like the looks of your Camera Bag effects - especially love the happy Golden Retriever and those foreign ciggies.

Stunning image, Mark - those "dozers" of yours look as though they're in clover. Beautiful black and white.

There are some really great photos in this thread!
Most of my photography is strolling and shooting. I usually get teased by my coworkers as I am usually spotted at lunchtime walking through the city where I work, looking for things to photograph. I've also recently started taking German classes on Saturday mornings in downtown San Francisco and try to get there early so I can wander the streets looking for subject material. Here is a shot I took with a recently acquired LX5.
