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!

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.

Okay I know you have the eye and skill but how did you get that beautiful tone?

[PaulRJennings]

Thanks John, no worry… t'was my "eye doctor" and she had only the best possible
news for me: 20/20! …at 63!

My sons say I am cheating cause I had the time to learn the charts by heart!) ;-)

Ain't that what's the game's all about? Thanks David.

Yes indeed. Looking at the image the colours look a tad hdr hence my question.

…the colours look a tad hdr hence my question.

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.

[Kodiak]

…the colours are beautiful
