Hi Peter!
I think the best photo is the last one, with the two figures and the flags in the background.
It conveys volume and air very well, thanks to the tonal perspective.

[beatescheffler]

Thank you for the idea! I prefer the last picture.

[homecareful]

I enjoyed it, Peter. BTW, I agree with you on the Best Shot.

[mattisulanto]

Thanks for the tips. I have shot in that same location many times but never climbed up on top of those cones. Next time I'm going to do that.

Photo #19 is my clear winner. I would frame it and hang it to the wall. I imagine this is located in the movie "Bladerunner 2049". Amazing shot!

[drdmouse]

Will practice such project this weekend, thanks Peter

[nigelalexander]

Thanks Peter I’ll checkout Saul Leiter .

[MichaelPittaway]

I like the photograph with the lady in a pink jacket.

[JamesMeeks-lj]

Saul Leiter is one of my favorite photographers as well. He had a great eye for color. There is a documentary about him called In No Great Hurry - 13 Lessons in Life. We had a great commercial printer (recently retired) here in OKC that used to print for Saul back in NYC.

On being alert, do you find using the rear screen rather than an EVF to compose images gives more spacial awareness? Going to try the one hour project tomorrow.

I went to detestation mall in Los Angles today ( Farmer's Market, The Grove) i took my DSLR & 18 -50 mm 2.8 lens i did street and architecture photography. There is always interesting people at The Grove in fact they film a entertainment program from the Grove festuring Mario Lopez the actor.

[beatescheffler]

Yes, there is a little town in Normandie (Gavray). I will go there and take pics for an hour tomorrow eve during an 80years event😂

If you really want to challenge yourself, then use the om-5 with oly 8mm for street/city photos 😊 I love it for landscape 📸 especially here in the Faroe Islands 🇫🇴

[PitoSalas]

When you choose the keepers in the first scan how do you mark them for later?

[Rohanish]

Hello Peter,
Can you please tell, in which year was Olympus System OM-5 camera launched?

[Swampdogg]

i think the photo of a woman with phone with statue behind her was brilliant. Hands were close enough in my opinion.

[stonewheel]

What size jpeg to you generally select?

[aRitsos]

17, 23, 5, is my choice. Probably BW can be a nice option

[fatihersoy]

I need some help with something. I use a sandisk sd card on my Olympus machine. Although not at first, my mac computer is now giving a warning that it can't read the sd card. How can I solve this problem
