A 24MP RAW photo of a mundane scene featuring utility wires and other thin straight lines, tree detail, and a bit of chrome. Via the Kolari OLPF installed in my S5iiX, and a 7Artisans AF 24mm f1.8 lens at f8. Hopefully tomorrow I'll bring my camera somewhere more interesting.

I was out taking my daughter for a walk with my camera, and some local kids piled around to get their pictures taken.

I would think the geometry of the structure deserves more exploration and tighter frames…very interesting.

ZIL on gas. The era of the USSR

ZIL on gas. The era of the USSR

Yes sir. Most of the working trucks here are older than me, and I just turned 40. I love the USSR vehicles (and vintage cars from the west ) so much character. I'd love to see Cuba one day for the same reason.

Shot with the Panasonic 20–60mm and the Panasonic 50mm f/1.8. I never thought I would like the 50mm f/1.8 lens this much. Porsche Museum, Stuttgart.

I love auto museums, and love old Porches. So will keep it in mind if I'm in the neighbourhood (not likely though)

Thank you for the kind words — I truly appreciate it
To be honest, I’m absolutely indifferent to Porsche’s car design — it’s simply not my thing. But I genuinely respect the engineering mindset and the persistence behind the brand. Even if the design doesn’t appeal to me personally, it is undeniably recognizable and has a strong identity — and that deserves respect.
The Porsche Museum building itself is a powerful architectural statement — sharp geometric lines, dynamic form, and an impressive interior structure. You can really feel the engineering philosophy reflected in the architecture.
Both the Porsche and the Mercedes-Benz Museum are located in Stuttgart. In terms of size and the breadth of exhibits, the Mercedes museum is the largest and most extensive of them all.
In Bavaria, you can also visit the BMW Museum and the Audi Museum — each offering its own unique perspective

 

[DMhalamaha]

The Stuttgart City Library is a monumental cube defined by strict geometric forms. From the outside, it appears restrained and almost minimalistic.
But once you step inside, everything changes. The interior design, with its clean symmetry and the central staircase rising through the heart of the building, creates a powerful sense of depth and vertical movement.
It doesn’t seem enormous from the outside, yet inside you suddenly feel surrounded by an almost boundless scale. The space opens up in a way that feels both architectural and emotional — structured, precise, yet surprisingly inspiring.
Photographed with the Panasonic Lumix S 20–60mm f/3.5–5.6 and the Panasonic Lumix S 50mm f/1.8.

It actually loos a lot like the Ferrari museum in Modena where I was last year, but more yellow and less white

Aliasing, what aliasing? ...

I now it's not easy but if you could take some of these with and without the OLPF filter it would so useful.
