Hi Tim A shop like this is special for a small village in Switzerland. Honestly, I sometimes take pictures like that to give them as present to the shop owners as "appetizers" to let me later take the "really interesting" photos inside the shop. That trick worked with churches before ;-) He has some wonderful jukeboxes and petrol pumps and other colorful stuff I would like to photograph.
I understand your comment very well, "something" indeed seems to be missing here or maybe it is just a "static" shot as discussed recently ;-) I like photos of old cars somehow despite they do not really "move" me too, maybe one has to be a "car guy" like Paul for that? Maybe that comes from the fact that I drove a very nice race Mini Cooper S years ago... thanks for the comment and btw my "crappy lens competition bird photos" are far from good yet. greetings Markus >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Tim Øsleby [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Friday, April 07, 2006 2:54 AM >>To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net >>Subject: RE: PESO:Route 66 car and shop in Switzerland >> >> >>I don't know Markus. >>There is lot to like in this image.
