I haven’t posted in a while, but life has been quite busy lately, especially in the job that pays the bills. But photography (and this blog) is never forgotten. Last weekend, The Significant Other any I headed to Hamburg for a dearly needed 5 day getaway. Obviously I took plenty of images during those 5 days on the snowy banks of the Elbe River. What I’m sharing today are a couple of monochrome photographs, a mix of street and other images (I have no clue what to call the three non-street photos). See the other images after the jump…
I just love black & white photography. All images are jpgs straight out of come, just some cropping. Three of those photographs were taken with my Nikon ZF, the other four with my iPhone 16 Pro Max. Can you tell which?
Have a great Thursday
Marcus

Monochromatic photography has always intrigued me. These photos are spectacular.
interesting
“Illusions” is particularly nice, Marcus. Great work, as usual
They are all impressive photographs. Thank you, Love, nia
Fine set; The 2nd one, with its spatial approach, is my favorite.
very nice
Thanks, Alice, so much appreciated!
Nope, I cannot tell the difference. Is the Nikon ZF your main camera?
4/5/7 are the images from the Nikon Zf, which is my main camera. Thanks for taking the time to visit and comment, so much appreciated!
Oh, interesting. I went back for another look at pics to compare. Thanks for the response.
Wow Marcus, the photos are wonderful! The staircase is amazing. How do you get the tone and ISO right like this? Grayscale as I call it ads a further dimension to photography. It’s good to see you back, I hope your family has been well. 🙏🏻😎
Thanks, John ,appreciate your kind words, as always. Thanks for asking, the family is doing well 😊. In the Staircase image, the iPhone did all the selections. I used one of the B&W styles (this is what I think its called in the camera menu. It sure does an amazing job. Jpg out of (phone)camera 👍
Thank you for this, Marcus. Have a great weekend. 😎
Fantastic images Marcus 👍🏻 I had to do a double take on the concert hall with a view image because of whatever transparent film or vinyl was applied to the window. The blind staircase image made me laugh because it looks like something an American contractor would do 😂
Thanks, Joe, love your contractor joke. You could tell the same over here. The concert hall as a special coating on the outside. Will do a post about the building, it is truly stunning architecture. Then you can see the exterior as well. The wedding picture was on the plaza halfway up the building, and the staircase in from the inside.
Not only do you make me miss Genoa, but also Hamburg! Thank you for sharing and lovely photos as always, Marcus!
Thanks, Cate, your kind words are always so much appreciated!
