    I like the depth in this shot. It's slightly tilted, but it shows the detail in the buildings and takes you down the street. Nice shot, it overcomes the camera's tendency to flatten things out.

    So you didn't find Vienna's orderliness to be a bit antiseptic and lifeless? ear.gif

    Thanks so much Humumgus for this whole series. I might print them out to be able to look at the again and again.
    Question, do you take most of your cityshots with a very small aperture?
    They all look so utterly crisp and sharp. They are so even in color and/or shadow. You never seem to have an unwanted shadow... Your pics are sharp from the first pixel to the last...
    Is it possible for you to tell me some more about your working methods?
    (Even with your working methouds I will still be not able to take shots like you, I am sure...)
    I am enjoying this worldtrip with you so so much

    I have family in Vienna and had the luck of visiting a couple times. I always thought it was the most beautiful place in Europe... until I went to Western Austria.

    :D

    A friend from Graz (of Arnold Schwarzenegger fame), in the east, told me that Vienna was a dump compared to the west. He was right. Much smaller cities, but man, talk about clean and beautiful! Did you get a chance to head out that way? to the "hills" ???

    Got them now. Those olives look to die for.
    We call that a flea market in Belgium... Lots of stalls, with lots of old things that some people just get off their attic. Nice atmosphere in places like that. It is gettin getting boring I suppose, but I love your pics. I am looking forward to the next batch.

    Thats about it...filled the bags with clothes (good place to shop for big stuff)

    Great to hear your yarn, Gus. Hang around and we will pick your brain about your travels.
    I gather you didn't get dinner with Andy either?
    You're still using your Olympus camera? It certainly does yoemans's work for you.

    I certainly don't want to be the reason of early curvature. Grin.

    Great travel shots!
    Thanks for sharing your wonderful travelog with us, Humungus. I enjoyed every minute of it. I just got back from my Thanksgiving holiday and spent all afternoon enjoying Africa and beyond. Glad to have you back.

    First time I've ever read 15 pages straight in any forum. A record for me :D

    Thanks for the brutal honesty and the good laughs. I can truly say I felt your panic in the back of the truck and out on the camping trip. That must have been hectic indeed.

    You've got some great stories for the grandkids! Congrats :)

    (why wont this link box work like ADV)

    You have two times http in there... that is probably why it won't work...
    And I don't think it would be swines for the pearls... If you do this with a little camera, what can we expect if you would use a DSLR???
