Canon 5D Mark IV + Canon MP-E65 f/2.8 1-5x Macro
Recently also seen and captured the first Tree Frogs. At 15 degrees in the sun it works. This specimen was very relaxed, with its nose right against the large thorn.
Farther than the photo suggests. Zoomed in at 600mm and also cropped.
Handheld, as almost always. I find it inconvenient to fiddle with a tripod, especially with blackberry bushes. In addition, it can also have a disruptive effect if you get stuck in the branches with the tripod leg.
I have recently created a new group focusing on fully frontal images. I enjoy this frontal assault on whatever I am shooting and, inspired by Wes Anderson sets - birthed the group. Please feel feel to join - or just add your appropriate photos to the group, which you can add without joining from this link: www.flickr.com/groups/14834960@N20/
E18 047 at the Bochum-Dahlhausen Railroad Museum.
The E18 was built from 1935 till 1939 and was with a max. speed of 150kph one of the fastest electric locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn.
In the years 1954 and 1955 two E18 were new built for the DB. Later the E18 got the new classification BR118 in west germany and BR218 in east germany.
6 of 55 built units still exist.

Un Alfa Romeo GTV, tot un classic italià del món dels rallies.
Ferrotip en format 4x5 polzades, realitzat amb una Graflex Pacemaker Speed Graphic fabricada cap al 1949; objectiu Kodak Anastigmat f4.5; col·lodió Old Workhorse força vell; revelador Mammuth Power.
Les plaques de col·lodió es realitzen al moment, cobrint una placa de vidre o planxa metal·lica negra amb col·lodió i sals de cadmi i/o potassi, sensibilitzat amb nitrat de plata. Aleshores s'ha de fer la fotografia i revelar-la en uns 5 minuts, abans no s'assequi la emulsió. És un dels processos fotogràfics més antics del món, inventat el 1851, i que dominà fins el 1880. Però ara ha resorgit, ja que les imatges, molt treballades, que dona són úniques, màgiques i i irrepetibles.

==========================================
A classical Italian rally car: Alfa Romeo GTV.
Tintype in 4x5 format, made with a Graflex Pacemaker Speed Graphic (from 1949); objectiu Kodak Anastigmat f4.5; Old Workhorse aged collodion; Mammuth Power developer.
The collodion plates are made covering a glass plate or black metal plate with collodion and salts of cadmium and / or potassium, sensitized with silver nitrate. Then you have to take the photo and reveal it in about 5 minutes, before the emulsion dries. It is one of the oldest photographic processes in the World, invented in 1851, and which dominated photography until 1880. But now it has resurfaced, as the images, very elaborate to create, that it gives are unique, razor sharp, magical and unrepeatable.

Is quite a difficult thing to get away with for a T-Gal. Mainly because our body shapes are not conventionally feminine (well except for the very lucky ones). Still - even without any very perceptible curves other than nice little boobs and good pair of legs this to my mind still looks entirely feminine.
Palermo’s Palazzo delle Poste e Telegrafi (1929–1934)
Your frontal composition is perfect for this building because it was conceived as a demonstration of strict order and modular clarity. Designed by Angiolo Mazzoni in the language of Italian Rationalism, the post-and-telegraph headquarters asserts itself on Via Roma with a deep, temple-like portico of ten colossal columns and a heavy entablature. Behind that disciplined façade is a reinforced-concrete frame clad in locally quarried Billiemi stone, laid out with rigorous symmetry around two side courtyards. The frontality of your shot heightens the building’s serial rhythm—the equal intercolumniation, the stacked horizontal bands, and the measured void of the portico—which are all about efficiency, legibility, and civic monumentality. Even small details were designed for coherence, from the custom metalwork to the calibrated lighting, and the entrance sequence pivots around a large elliptical staircase that dramatizes movement within an otherwise tightly ordered plan.

The interiors extend this programmatic clarity into a visionary register: the Conference Room carries five Futurist panels by Benedetta Cappa Marinetti—a cycle on land, sea, air, telegraph and radio communications—made specifically for this building, with additional works by Tato and Piero Bevilacqua, plus a bronze Diana cacciatrice by Corrado Vigni. Reading the architecture through your frontal view, you’re foregrounding exactly what the project celebrates: communication, modern services, and a state-of-the-art public machine expressed through proportion, repetition, and an almost didactic symmetry—without needing any extra scenography.
