Very inspirational Thorsten! Thank you for taking the time to post this. Hope to see you again soon.

[@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard]

Thank you, Bill 🙂

[@mikaelwerner1]

My favourite camera is my Voigtländer Vito II from 1950. Folded up it is the same size as the camerabody of my Sony ZV-E10 and is as easy to bring along as an iphone. The beauty of that old camera and the geniune process of using it is a great inspiration for my photography. I would not say it slows me down, but it gives every photograph a meaning, to me myself at least.

My wife has gotten used to me always carrying a camera everywhere we go. Wonderful talk Thorsten.. Thank you

[@RS-Amsterdam]

I can almost distinguish a Thorsten Overgaard shot among many others. They always look a bit out of focus in the most pleasant way. With the shallow depth of field you complete a vintage look which is of unheard beauty. You always hit my personal taste of composition, well done. Thanks for sharing and carry on

"a bit out of focus in the most pleasant way" will be a t-shirt 🙂

[@RS-Amsterdam]

Wear it with pride, like your Leica 🎉

[@Gravitys-NOT-a-force]

Regarding your question "what should I do with them (your photographs)?" Consider buying a "smart" TV with a USB port and a "slide show" capability. Download your photographs to a SanDisk thumb drive, insert the drive in your new TV, and hang the TV where - with some effort - your neighbors will be able to see it (perhaps through a knothole in the closely-spaced slats of your backyard fence). Leave just a slight gap in your living room curtains.

[@peetje28021970]

Repetition is key.

[@reludennis]

Hello! Great work at sharing and teaching photography! I recently bought some old zeiss lenses. Can you share your opinion on how zeiss lenses compare to leica lenses? I am curios what you think of zeiss lenses. Thank you

[@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard]

I don't have a lot of experience with Zeiss lenses. New ones are 'precise, sharp and cold' but I think the older ones have more soul. But that's my experience from relatively little use in real life.

[@mortenthesbl5535]

thx!

[@pierrecrampagne6826]

Paris, est une ville que l'on photographie dans n'importe quel lieu, la belle photo viendra d'un endroit où on ne l'attend pas ( de son hôtel, d'un commerce ou d'un grand ensemble ou tout simplement les endroits que l'on photographie. Dans un endroit où c'est interdit,faire des photos au grand-angle, à la dérobée, et recadrer avec l'ordinateur, on fera aussi des très bonnes photos.

[@strikkflypilot927]

I read You👍

😊 moin

[@RonK]

"and then when you see something you take a picture." Yep, agree. But what's next with these pictures? Not enough walls to print and hang, so putting on a website which nobody in the world ever cares about, or adding to Social Media to be scrolled through in 0.4 secs? Just "to have it on your PC disk" is not really all to satisfying an option...

[@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard]

Yes, that is the next. Hence my slogan "Everything has to go Somewhere" which is part of The "Workflow Masterclass" online class, and also in this video: "Everything has to go Somewhere" kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp-2oYOYgNiceLMsi=_sEOSYTqt6jUxao8 and this one, "The Artist Life" kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYOnoqRqrMhnnMUsi=iT-gYMu95epD3yqG

[@thorsrensen3162]

I live in a neighbourhood which is very ordinary so I dont have anything to photograph and I dont have time and money to travel to all those beautiful places.

[@RumoHasIt]

The point of photography is to take what is ordinary around you, use your camera, and find a way to frame it in a beautiful way

[@Bhupinder2024]

You need to smile laugh and chill man , you like chronically constipated 😂
