Just downloaded a test shot done Tuesday morning. I thought it hadn't turned out too well and was only a test for the idea. Now that I came round to downloading it I think it isn't bad at all. What do you think?

*istD, Sigma 105/2.8 Macro, 1/20, A2.8, hand held, ambient morning light + torch

Quite stylish, like the shallow DOF and the warm light.

I like it.
Not sure about the German text mind...have to get DIL no 1 on to it!

Gwyn,

the text is nothing special. It describes Argentina (if I make it out all right). It's a book about the Meteor-Expedition in the Atlantic that took place from 1925 to 1927 (Meteor being the name of the research vessel). Apart from being a big scientific undertaking it also was used to rebuild a bit of the reputation that Germany had before World War I. So it was a diplomatic mission as much (or even more than) a scientific mission. The book is authored by the captain of the Meteor and quite interesting reading.

If only my fellow countrymen of the time (and especially the decades after this cruise) would have stuck to diplomatic missions...
Well, how did a wise man once say: "Don't mention the war!"
