    Don't leave home without it!


    — "Don't leave home without it!" —

    So was their advertising slogan in those days. About the same days I was
    turning into a young fanatic photographer… having access to the university
    gear from the science photography department. I did not have credit cards,
    and did not care much for any then, but that slogan I grabbed for myself and
    my newly discovered passion.

    Thanks to that slogan, though I had free on that later day of March 2014, this
    old reflex made sure I left home for a medical appointment with at least a
    camera and a general purpose lens. I did well because once at the doctor's,
    over the fence of the property, this scene was waiting to be snapped!

    Don't leave home without it!

    C&C welcomed. SOOC.

    Nicely done, knowing this scene is nearby should make the next doctor appointment less stressful.

    Beautiful. Reminds me of images one would see in tourist brochures.

    In an other mood, I would be upset you mentioning HDR! (…but I am not!)

    It is all a question of "sweet spots"… To optimize a rendition, one should select,
    prior to shutter release, optimized setups. Then optimize the triangle, the
    composition and, back at the optimized computer in an optimized workflow!

    I know, it may sound a bit strange, but photography is full of sweet spots to
    be discovered. It seems I got a few of them… time does it.

    That's optimal. Thanks for the reply but the details were such I had to ask.
