Other photography besides aviation


Recommended Posts

Sorry for flooding this thread... but I do think it's worth it....'cos of being interesting...

Cologne/Germany.... Anti-Demonstration against a right wing demo , Demonstrations against right wing radicalism, for tolerance and all those things.

I thought it'll be interesting to see so many people, (plus 5500 policemen), chaos, maybe escalations..... and it was interesting.

First two posts show the work of the police, last two of people in/from Cologne & demonstrants.

Thank you for posting them....

Hey HOLMES :D

Thank you, nice to hear that you like these photos ! =)

Those were demonstrations of the church, political parties, unions, normal people and some left wing members against right wing radicalism/ against a right wing extremists party demonstration. It was really interesting and impressing.

Well, some new pics.

Wow there's some impressive photography on this thread. And what a beautiful Redstart! Wish I could photograph one of those.

I've been into photography for years (as a complete amateur only!) starting my 35mm run with a Zenith 'E' then progressing to a Pentax (that broke) and ending up with a lovely fully-manual Ricoh KR-5 with 28mm, 35-135mm and 70-300mm lenses.

Today I am using digital - I spent a few years using a lovely Fuji S5000, but recently I have bought a Fuji S8000FD and have just started to take some photos with it. Below are a few of my digital photos with the S5000 and S8000FD.

Some lovely old diesel locos at the Eastleigh 100 event

Went to my favorite place to shoot, a barber shop. Slowly dying piece of "Americana", the last bastion of manliness. Did some B&W and color work.

EDIT - my "Flickr" account was hacked and deleted, it's restored now, I'll have to re-post a bit later.
