Not completely sharp as there was hardly any light but I’m satisfied with the way this turned out.

Cologne’s carnival ended today after five days of high camp and drunken craziness. Coming to the photo, I was torn between posting a color version or this b&w version. As you can see, in the end, I went with the b&w version but if in case you are interested the color version is here.

I recently bought a Minolta 28-70/2.8 G zoom, the first and only ‘G’ glass so far in my arsenal! Minolta’s (or now Sony’s) ‘G’ series consists of top of the line lenses that are made using the highest quality optics and materials. This zoom carries with it a legendary reputation for image sharpness and bokeh so I took it out for a spin yesterday along the Rhine here. Here is one result from that shoot. I wish I had taken a tripod along as this shot would have been so much better with it. As it is there is some camera shake. I wish I could have avoided the distraction of those bright lights on the lower left but I wanted to include the human element on the lower right and therefore was forced to include the lights as well.
