Some architecture shots, showing an urban district in my hometown, which will be demolished in the next few years. This type of building (and living...) do no longer meet the requirements of modern urban people, so new (bigger) buildings will arise. No doubt these new buildings will offer more space and more convenience but however I regret the disappearance of these idyllic living environment...

Pentax 645D with 2.8/55mm

I can feel the pain. Where is this? The buildings would not look small in London....

It's in Zurich, Switzerland. The problem is the "wasted" space between the buildings. With modern architecture you can make living at least twice as much people on the same ground. The keyword is "cost-effectiveness"...

Just messing around with my Pentax 67 mounted to a bicycle. I use colored filters to get the targeted 1/30th shutter speed.

P67, 45mm f4, 400TMY, Pentax 056 (O2) Orange Filter

P67, 45mm f4, 400TMY, Pentax Y48 (Y2) Yellow Filter

Stunning results, I was doing this with DSLR but on film and P67 :-), great pictures, especially one with the dog.

Thanks. I tested for shutter speed effect with my DSLR first. I also have a wider 43mm lens on my Mamiya 7II I wanted to use but close focusing with a rangefinder is not so good.

Very interesting! How did you fix the camera to the bike?

Thanks. I built a jig to hold it. The rear view was mounted to that bike rack. And the front view I picked up the fastener provisions in the dropouts and front fork.

Great shots. You must have been surprised when you deveolped the film to find you were being chased by a German Sheperd! 

Wow! Very impressive, Tuco! Is that your dog? If not, s/he seems friendly enough.

I think you Sir need to be hired by Google for the new and improved "street view" on their maps!!
