Something is going wrong when the camera with its impressive algorithms and countless AF options forces itself into the centre and, hence, between photographer and object. Ideally, I would think, we photographers ought to use the camera as if it was not there. Just focussing on the composition and the 'essence' of the object and having the settings run in the background. I am not advocating 'point and shoot', I am saying that a camera should be built in such a way that we can 'forget' about it and focus on taking the picture. I think my older cameras do that. My newer ones are much more sophisticated and what they are increasingly trying to do is take over decisions I could make myself. What is my reaction? Number one, I prefer using my older cameras. And two, when using my sophisticated ones, I turn off a lot of their computer-powered procedures. I wonder what you think.
Seen in the Oldtimer Museum, Amerang, Bavaria, Germany. Shot with Sony A7 MII and Leitz/Leica SUMMILUX 75mm, F1.4 and NOVOFLEX Adapter.

There's some irony here, I think, in the way this sign is crumbling and littering the small patch of nature below it...
...taken at the site of a college that focuses its curriculum on environmental sustainability.
The biggest security risk in any system is the user.
"Hundreds of Westminster insiders were added to - and then deleted from - a WhatsApp group set up by shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick to promote his London Marathon run".
In this day and age there should be minimum level of competence with technology to gain access to any position of power or trust, (especially after the U.S "signal app" fiasco).
(As we old techies used to say the problem is "BTKAC" between the keyboard and chair).
The BBC has been told Jenrick is not referring himself to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which investigates data breaches. (What a surprise!).

Exoplanet Orbiting Two Stars
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
A sea of clouds surrounding me on the exoplanet. And the blue planet rising above it. That planet also had two suns. Everything was quite suitable for life on this planet with double suns. Its correct position to the sun made this planet highly habitable. However, unfortunately, this planet was also recorded as another planet that they left after being chosen as a habitat by the plutonians for a while. The dark force that followed them and made them leave the planets had not left them on this planet either. I was very curious about this dark force that frightens a civilization with technology advanced enough to migrate between planets. On the other hand, I had a growing fear of this dark power. However, this fear also increased my curiosity towards this dark power. I wanted to find the Plutonian civilization and the dark force that frightened them and was so terrifying that it would push them to abandon their planet. When I found the Plutonian civilization, I did not know how they would welcome me. Perhaps they would be hostile. Perhaps they would accept me and make me a member of civilization. The only thing I am sure of is the fact that I am traveling into the unknown in the depths of space.

Location: Outer space (space)
Sunset in the Allgäu and view directed to Germany's highest mountain, Zugspitze, while a regional train passed the scene.
Sitting on the window-sill and enjoying the low afternoon sun. Illuminated and in sharp focus is the "good" eye, the one I use for photography. The other one plays second fiddle. However, none of them was really involved in taking this self-portrait. It was the artificial eye of the camera in connection with a clever algorithm (automatic eye recognition) that kicked in when I pressed the shutter release (via a long cable). This is one of the situations where camera technology enables me to do things with ease that, if done manually, would have been quite difficult to achieve.
Crazy Tuesday - Vintage Technology
A set of heavy metal scales (I borrowed) and imperial weights ranging from 2lb down to 1/4oz !!
Like Most Men my age, I grew Up in an Era where Comic Books where the daily digest in my town. In those days a graphic novel was a mere 25cents and you could buy 12 books for $3.00 I think thats about the average price of one magazine these days. LOL Anyway.....I Thrived on reading Marvel & DC Comics by the time I was 13 I had well over 2,500 or more. and I kept mine in the protective plastic bags and boxed according to hero or the group that they were in*
I even learned how to draw from reading these things and wanting to emulate what I saw everyday. Boy Stan Lee really had a major Impact on my childhood! Dark Knight/Detective Comics & The X-Men were always my favorite comics. And like most "Wolverine & Batman" were my fav. characters. It wasnt until much, much later on in life that these Superheroes were made into major motion picture Idols.
With the rise of technology and special effects Hollywood has been able to produce what I read for so many years on the silver screen. I think if I had to choose being one of these Superheroes in "real life" it would Most Def. have to be
"THE DARK KNIGHT"..........:))
He's a Millionaire playboy and he gets to drive around in The Batmobile

Absolutely love the way this turned out. It's inspired by this concept art from Elysium. Something I've wanted to do for quite a while now. Not quite done yet as I need to add to the interior cargo area and make some actual cargo for it, but I wanted to get this photo before the decals aged or something happened to them. This is also the first time I've been able to get a white background to look good in a long time! XD
