My favourite is the second one of your portraits. The old men in cap could tell a lot of stories, but he was just walking.

Perhaps as many stories that have been told over the years by countless others in letters stored in the mail distribution box next to him?

I was thinking about the next one, but you are right. The post box has a story too.

A visit to Leuven (Belgium) last week. Mostly very grey days, but this was a nice sunset. S5 with 20-60 at 20. I'm from the Netherlands and think they bike like crazy there, but in Leuven its just absurd haha.

Thanks for the Leuven time lapse. I've been there now and then - my company has a facility there. About bicycles, one of our guys from the States was there, he had taken the train from Brussels to the hotel, and from the hotel he couldn't get a cab to pick him up to go to work. So finally he rented a bike and rode over to the plant. He fit right in.

I'm curious where this bird lives. Somewhere warm I hope?

Today, my family and I went to the Huniverzum exhibition in Budapest. It was about space exploration. I took some usable photos both inside and outside.
I used my Panasonic S5D with Panasonic 18-40mm lens.

Our little friend came back to the yard. We suspect it's an elk calf. Looks like the poor thing had an encounter with barbed wire or a predator.

Just before Christmas, a friend moved into a new, previously-occupied home. Yesterday she hosted an open house for everyone who helped her move.

We haven't had time yet to replace the awful compact florescent bulbs with higher-quality bulbs, ones with better color temperatures to properly light her art collection (and people). So ... I needed to do a lot of color correction in post on this mixed-lighting image. A "fun" challenge.

I show a few photos today at the abandon golf course in Göd, Hungary using my Panasonic S5D and Panasonic 18-40mm. My son and I went here to fly kites.

This dog attacked the kite. It was very funny to see it running up and down.

Great photos, and that Sigma 45mm is a great lens.

Thank you. Yes, the more I use it, the more I enjoy its results!
