A detail of a rooftop bar, next to a classic facade, in Belgrade. Serbia. Taken with a 13mm iPhone camera.

Thanks to John and Russ.

When out and about in India I see many promising subjects against indifferent backgrounds and many promising backgrounds with indifferent subjects: the camera stays by my side. Occasionally I see the best of both worlds...

These days I see few promising subjects or promising locations; I tend to see the wrong side of stable doors.

A simple security measure, such as implemented on the rhinestone substitute below, had it been in place some weeks ago, would have saved me a lot of time, stress and dismay. Knotted around the bracelet and then the wrist, the arm would have had to be removed first in order to remove the timepiece.

Mea culpa! Dammit!

Back to the manual 1.8/50mm on this shot. I think I prefer the look of this lens to the modern alternative.

Rob, you're a distinguished looking guy. If I spotted you on the ghats of Varanasi in saffron garb I'd certainly lift camera to eye!

I would love to see that!

Hahaha. But in colour please 

[RSL]

Man, look at that watch!

You gotta be joking!!! Please say you are joking.

In the days when I could let the Sun play all over me, I was "distinguished" when I went back to Scotland in winter after trips, and wore less than I should just to flaunt the tan; I used to tan quickly without much of a red period - that made me think I was naturally protected. Today, I pay the penalty for too much sunlight. As my doc once told me: skin has memory. Keith knows what I'm talking about, as I'm sure do too many other northerners. Nope, never used a sunbed; this is natural disaster of which we speak. What are you gonna do?

;-(

[Rob C]

Man, look at that watch!

Yeah, advertising photography... enough seen, not enough to read the logo, but just enough to see what it's not.

This could depress me again.

It's the Bruce Weber bandanna fooled you.

If I spotted myself there I'd shoot a selfie! Well, I would if I had replaced my cellphone which has decided it no longer wants to trawl in the exciting world of art photography. Or any other photography.

Dusk falls on Belgrade:

[John R]

These are excellent Slobodan. Is this your phone?

JR

[Slobodan Blagojevic]

Thanks, John. Yes, iPhone 11 Pro Max.

[Rob C]

Nick Knight was right.

Nick Knight was right.

Yes he was, and still is right!

You two speak in the secret language of the Illuminati?

LOL, yes it does seem that way.
