SANTA PAULI MARKET in the REEPERBAHN
we're going to the naughty german SANTA PAULI MARKET Christmas fair in HAMBURG's red light district, the REEPERBAHN.......the fair is a 'spoof' of the numerous Christmas fairs in Germany...
there are lots of silly naughty items for sale...including Marzipan candy shaped like a penis....my mom said, she doesn't want one, 'soft penises are no good'.
----------------------------------
the naughty section is a tad smaller now ....at least the bump and grinding part...it is now closed off...with no women allowed and no photos...so, why should i bother...lol
.the larger street is just a regular street...though there were lots of 'hourly' Hotels and one could see Folks in their windows up high. not that i looked...
...the fair was fun, very very tame...yes, a tad snore zzzzzzzzzz. well, after one has been to all folsom street fairs like i have for so many years...maybe i-m a tad jaded...
i did see the Lady who was in the newspaper who was selling naughty shaped candies.....she looked great and had a great smile. i told her so. 'thanks, i haven't seen my photo in the paper. How did the chocolate penis-pops look? They are SO hard to photograph..', said the 71 year old seller...ohmygawd....lol
Ta-da! Yolanda is standing on top of the brick wall also so we both completed our playful high heel challenge. Well, she's kneeling in fact but I did that little cheat too so that's only fair. It's quite difficult to get on top of the wall on your high heels and find your balance, yet once you get that it's really easy and relaxed; just don't move your feet and you're alright. Yolanda and I are proud to have completed the girlie challenge and we both enjoy the playful fun with big smiles on our faces. We may be a bit older but are still young at heart!

Late Christmas present from one of my nephews picked it up yesterday ...she is supposed to wave in the sunlight.....today she hasn't moved
Best seen on black - press L or click image above. Also, best viewed on a color-aware browser like Firefox, on a color corrected monitor that can fully support at least the sRGB color gamut.
Test shot with Nikon D4 + Nikon AF DC-Nikkor 135mm f/2D. The primary goal was to test the sharpness of the older 130/2 lens with the 16MP sensor in the D4.
At a distance of 1m, the DoF with this lens at f/2 is only 5.7mm, much less than even some of the famous shallow DoF lenses such as the Nikkor 85/1.4G, Nikkor NOCT 58/1.2, or even Leica Noctilux 50/0.95. At a distance of 3m (~10 feet), the DoF increases to 5.7cm or 2.25 inches.
So it is easy to see large areas of the image apparently OOF, but the reality is, sharpness is highly contained to the area of focus, unless the lens is stopped down.
For anyone interested in the image quality from this camera/lens, I have uploaded the full 16.2MP high-res version of the image at 90% JPEG quality.

A BUNCH OF FUN
Here are the steps...
1. Wet paper
2. Throw/spatter in some paint, one color at a time, and spray with misty sprayer.
3. Tip paper and blow on it to get it to send out shapes
4. Drag a fingernail, or reverse end of brush, or stick, through wet areas.
KEEPING IN MIND ALL THE TIME THAT YOU WANT TO LEAVE A LOT OF WHITE SPACES WITHIN YOUR FOCUS AREA AND AROUND THE EDGES AS YOU SEE HERE.
5. Let dry
6. Add more color as needed, using spray and brush to help make shapes. LEAVE WHITE SPACES!
7. Look for forming shapes to help them along. LEAVE WHITE SPACES.
8. Let dry
9. Find the shapes with pen and ink....you might need to turn the paper upside down even.
10. Add more colors/shading as needed.
ONE MORE TIP.....STOP before you think you are done!...:) :) :)
See what ''quirkyartist'' did....:)
