Ripper! Rarely see this orientation!

I'd be very happy with this one. The subject has beautiful clarity and you've already got a grand swirl. Lovely processing too.

yeah i like it more too.. just was trying to see how far i could go in the other one.. that's too funny, Mr POD. there are plenty of examples of you masquerading as a HOL on flickr!

haha you'd no doubt be doing so in person too. She can be rather shy.

everyone is already doing it here.. they put a tip screen on the payment interfaces and make you select your tip amount right there. it's often a nuisance actually. some places I don't want to tip because I'm not getting any actual human service other than the person standing there collecting my money, so why does that deserve a tip?

haha yes. it promptly jumped out of cart and went running through the street moments later but I wasn't paying attention and missed it until it was too late for a snap.

Wondrous! Applause!

I just like this for the juxtaposition of the big bright bokehgons and the unlit lamp.

This is the sort of thing I was hoping to do with my Helios 44 and Biotar in Hawai'i. You're working that bokeh like a trooper.
Ben Hur nutmeg ?????

The Prince of Darkness approves strongly.
