Real weard image indeed, I first thought about a reflexion in the Neva.
I went St Petersburg year 2000 and loved it, both the city and the inhabitants, eventhough very few people spoke english or french at this time. The city is simply one of the most magnificient I saw, cultural level, as being a highly rated student place, was exeptional and the ladies so gorgeous...
Hope you have nice weather over there, I remember having snow for the 1st of may, frédo

I think perhaps he enhanced the photo by providing a measure of perspective . . . great photo, though, either way -- with or without!

Thanks. I did take one when he got out of the scene.

645Z with 25mm DA lens

Australia Square, Sydney (one of the city's early high rise buildings, as held up by some as a masterpiece). I am no fan of such buildings, but it does make a nice modern image.

The security guard turned up after I had been shooting for nearly an hour and told me that "high powered" cameras like mine would require a permit. I kept him talking for ten mins (while the camera was still shooting) about how such permits could be obtained... The extra ten minutes made it work ;-)

Cool shot Ed. I guess camera discrimination is worldwide now. I've had the shake down from authorities on multiple occasions using my old film cameras just because they are big. I would have never been hassled if I was using a phone camera. And it was on public property too. The new justice system has changed to guilty until proven innocent around my parts.

I'm using that term from now on. "I got me a Hah-Paarrd cam-ruh! Yup. Dang-tootin'. We need a PentaxForums trucker's cap to go with 'em...

I don't call muh Z high-powered unless it has the 90mm attached.

I guess an 8 x 10 field camera would require licensing from the DoE; maybe one should use thorium lens glass to justify it.

As usual, youall* take impressively good photographs.
