Schlimm ist auch das optische Chaos mancher Supermärkte und Kaufhäuser, deren schlecht platziertes Angebot einen schon am Eingang mit seiner Überfülle erschlägt - wenigstens mich ... oder die Einkaufs-Strassen großer Städte, die scheinbar nur für die Leuchtreklamen der Nacht gestaltet wenden und am Tage sehr häufig mein "optisches Chaos" bieten. Falsche Städteplanung, schlechte Architektur, die das Auge beleidigt. Negativ-Beispiele wären aber dann auch Portraits mit viel zu unruhigem, zu deutlichem Hintergrund; falsche Ausschnitte bei Vergrösserungen mit nichtssagenden, viel zu grossen Flächen rund um das eigene Motiv; schlimm störende Schrift an Häusern als Teil der Werbung. Dass man mit dem Gehirn und nicht mit den Augen sieht, zeigen Aufnahmen von Schaufensterpuppen, bei denen man erst zuhause die Spiegelung der anderen Strassenseite, des Himmels und der Passanten bemerkt ... wenn man bewußt darauf geachtet hatte, dann nämlich sieht man das auch an Ort und Stelle und die eigentlich mit der Aufnahme gemeinten Modepuppen, das sogenannte "Strassen-Theater" tritt in der Wahrnehmung etwas zurück.

In my photographic PENTAX-life since 1963 I used B, 1/4 - 1/250 and shorter times only to test cameras, never, never in real picture-productions for journals or clients. 1/4 sekonds handheld, head pressed on a wall an and ten takes, two were good in a islamic moshee at Usbekistan, no flash allowed and useless with f = 20 mm.

Re: Spotmatic batteries

Hallo Wieland, habe selbst noch zwei SPOTMATICS, eine fest eingebaut in einer Reproduktionsanlage, da brauche ich keine Belichtungsmessung, aber für das zweite Gehäuse, mit dem ich gelegentlich noch Makro-Aufnahmen mache (wegen dem Schraubgewinde am Balgengerät) , steht leider der Kauf Batterien an. Solltest Du eine Lösung finden, bitte ich Dich herzlich, mir entweder eine Nachricht zukommen zu lassen oder mich an einer Bestellaktion zu beteiligen. Kürzlich in Strasbourg existierten alle vier Photogeschäfte, die ich dort am Münster und im Zentrum gekannt habe, nicht mehr - mussten Mode, Souvenirs oder Restaurants weichen. MfG Kristian-H.
