Very aesthetically pleasing! Love hearing the cicadas in the park! The guy was definitely scared away by the footballer! BTW, I like you with a little more scruff!

Great pictures with 85 mm!! I am once again amazed at the variety of photos you have taken and the choices you have made for the presentation. I can't get enough of it, I could actually comment on every picture. Your almost poetic view of things, people and generally “the things behind” immediately catches my eye. Figuratively speaking, your individual point of view is crystallized in the reflections you capture (oh - I don't know if I phrased that correctly in English - but I'm sure you know what I mean). You will recognize color moods and compositions in the optimal context as well as motifs that go well in black & white. I can see how much fun you have (especially with 85 mm!) concentrating on capturing the right moment, for example here 8:22 - which puts a smile on my face. "Bon appetit" has become one of my favorite images in this video ;-) I also like the moving shot from 9:05 - how you calmly wait for the traffic light to turn red. And then the picture 9:17 - that's great too! 10:27 - Wow! And 11:37 - another photo that makes me smile at the situation. Thanks for showing and greetings from Germany.

Always appreciate your positive feedback :) Yeah, I definitely had a lot of fun on this photo walk. 85 mm is the focal length that I learned to do a lot of my photography with (it was the first lens I ever bought aside from the kit lens that came with my original camera), so I always feel most at home shooting with it. Cheers, and have a great weekend 😁

I found the focus on reflections very interesting, especially with this focal length. I've dabbled but usually with wider lenses so it's been more about capturing the reflection in addition to the actual world around it. Focusing in on the reflection gives it all a more abstract feel and allowed for some really clever framing. 10:03 and 10:50 really exemplify what I'm getting at. Keep up the good work!

Wide angles can also be fun, but I've always found longer focal lengths to be more interesting when it comes to capturing reflections. It's always been the details of the reflections that have drawn my attention, so I want to cut everything else out and focus entirely on them. Thank you 😁
