That's not Madrid... Nice photos!

In fact it is Madrid. Madrid has four skyscrapers in the north, built just a few years ago. They're very modern in design and I think they look very nice, but I've never photographed them before. I've been up to the British consulate which is on one of the higher floors of one of them - the view is spectacular but they don't allow any kind of electronic or photographic items through security.

The first one is awesome!
I'm guessing it's Bonsai?

It struck me when I looked through the viewfinder that without anything to add scale the shot could appear to be normal trees with very thin DoF. The white line through the middle spoils it a bit, it must be some kind of wire, at first I though it was due to bad development but it's not.

I might go back with my 645 and extension tubes (and a tripod) and get some higher quality photos.

I went for the same thing here but the wires supporting some of the branches are visible.

And here's a Bonsai with a more normal perspective.

Ha! Colton wins that prize; I was completely taken in.

Same here! Great shot Jonathan and great eye Colton.

It is actually very well done.
I did a few double takes when I first looked at it.
I knew that to get that bokeh with the M50/1.7, you'd need to basically be at minimum focus distance, so the trees couldn't be full size trees

It looked so much like NYC... And then I thought, another miss with someone from the Forum! I love the trees, and the effect is wonderful, makes them like a forest.

How are you finding the Lomography 400? It looks very saturated. I think the Lomo 400 is an old Kodak film.

Nice alternate kind of spring photo. Love this!

It seems like decent film. It does remind a bit of Kodak film. I've researched the edge markings and the only thing I've come up with is Kodak 400.
It is pretty saturated, definitely more so than Superia 400.
That could just be the way I'm scanning and processing though.

Glad you like the pic, unfortunately the car is a little esoteric for the American audience, perhaps this one is easier to guess:

Thanks friend.

It's Kodacolor VR 400 Plus, though I've never heard of that and I don't think that Kodak sell it as a Kodak product any more.

It's Kodacolor VR 400 Plus, though I've never heard of that and I don't think that Kodak sell it as a Kodak product any more.

the Kodacolor VR serie is the first color film with T-grain. The next serie was the Kodacolor VR G wich was rename in the kodak gold serie we all know.

I've scanned a serie of family picture with it, it's decent, not too grainy when exposed even for 400 iso film. Color rendition is good, the blue are really saturated.

I can really say that since, Kodak really step up the fim grain quality with the portra though.
