Where the streets have no name

Prague is such a beautiful place, with lots of history and stories to tell. Here are some from my initial set.

Just found this post...the first image is a stunner! Beautiful conversion and complex composition. It would look magnificent blown up to 6mtr x 4 mtr and covering a wall in high class restaurant.

Wow - awesome the feel of the first is great, and the B&W conversion for all of these is so 'rich'. Are you converting them to black and white in a particular way ? Or is that Leica goodness I'm experiencing ?

Awesome B&W images, some of the best streetscape I have seen in a while.

The second image is the standout for me simply because of the beautiful lighting and the perspective created by the vast, closed entry and front wall with the diminutive people at the front. The lighting gives the indication of late afternoon/early morning with heavy cloud immediately overhead.

I agree with Matt regarding the first, and can see this image on the wall of a trendy McDonalds

Thanks all. Greatly appreciate the feedback.

I haven't changed my b&w conversion techniques and the Leica did make a difference. This was taken at ISO80, f2.4, 1/2000s.

The photo was taken in the early afternoon, just a touch before 3pm. This is why the light here is just to die for, especially the winter light

I was tempted to write up a review and show differences between the D700 and the Leica, but at the end of the day, it's still a camera (albeit one that requires substantial outlay).
