Foggy winter trees Leica X1 photo collection from my hard hike near to city Banska Bystrica in Slovakia. Remember winter is nice but for good photos you must long waiting, Blue Sky,white snow good place and many others…..

My holiday shots with Leica X1 camera from Mahmutlar beach in Turkey. Mahmutlar is little city near to Alanya. I looked for Norwegian tourists but I found only Russians people – For me it was a disaster…, Norwegian peoples lived in appartmans and appeared in the evening.

Hamburg City Photogallery created with Leica D Lux 4 Digital camera from my girlfriend little travel in Germany in 2011.

My lovely Leica X1 is at home and i must get to village Spania Dolina in Slovakia for autumn scenery

My Leica X1 is in repair and I take pictures with SONY NEX 5 and Nikkor 50 mm F1.8D. Here is pictures of short trips to the hill Krizna in centre Slovakia. I must us manual focus, but with new firmware V4 from SONY for Nex cameras amazing peaking function assist with more precise manual focusing.

The NEX-5 and 3 might well win an award for the lowest number of external controls of any camera. The scarcity of buttons seen on the mock-ups shown at the PMA 2010 exhibition were interpreted by many people to mean the cameras would have a touch screen, but this isn’t the case.

In fact, Sony has taken an unconventional approach, and three of the six buttons on the body do not have a fixed function. Instead their functions are context-sensitive – changing in relation to which mode you’re in and what you’ve just done. It’s an interesting idea and one that particularly suits the NEX cameras’ unintimidating, easy-to-use philosophy.

The effect is initially impressive, particularly in the camera’s automated modes. Sony has added the ability to manually configure the actions of the central and lower buttons when shooting in the manually controlled PASM modes, allowing the assignment of up to four key shooting parameters. This, along with the features already offered on the four-way controller, gives a high degree of rapid access to key functions, despite the small button-count.
The Alpha NEX-5 features an all-new, 100% electronic E-mount. Sony has managed to reduce the flange-back distance (the distance from the front of the mount back to the sensor), to an incredible 18mm – 2mm shorter even than the Micro Four Thirds system. This allows the camera to be extremely narrow.

Side (Turkey), is a beautiful coastal resort on the Mediterranean. It is approximately 15kms east of Antalya (one of Turkey`s largest cities) and is located on a small peninsula only 800m in length. In this pretty town, modern architecture, chic shops and late night bars stand in juxtaposition with the ruins of an ancient city. Flanked by two stretches of golden beach, surrounded by the sparkling waters of Mediterranean on both sides and bestowed with the endless archeological wonders – Side has aptly prospered as one of the most popular resorts for holidaymakers from across the globe.

Side city is located on the eastern part of the Pamphylian coast, which lies about 20 km east of the mouth of the Eurymedon River. Today, as in antiquity, the ancient city is situated on a small north-south peninsula about 1 km long and 400 m across.
The great ruins are among the most notable in Asia Minor. They cover a large promontory where a wall and a moat separate it from the mainland. During medieval times, the wall and moat were repaired and the promontory houses a wealth of structures.

There are colossal ruins of a theatre complex, the largest of Pamphylia, built much like a Roman amphitheatre that relies on arches to support the sheer verticals. The Roman style was adopted because Side lacked a convenient hillside that could be hollowed out in the usual Greek fashion more typical of Asia Minor. The theatre is less preserved than the theatre at Aspendos, but it is almost as large, seating 15,000 – 20,000 people. With time and the shifting of the earth, the scena wall has collapsed over the stage and the proscenium is in a cataract of loose blocks. It was converted into an open-air sanctuary with two chapels during Byzantine times

The original station building was constructed between 1895 and 1905 as a replacement for the original terminus of the Brussels-Mechelen-Antwerp Railway. The stone clad terminus buildings, with a vast dome above the waiting room hall were designed by Louis Delacenserie and the vast (185 metres long and 44 metres high) iron and glass trainshed by Clement van Bogaert. The viaduct into the station is also a notable structure designed by local architect Jan Van Asperen.

The station is now widely regarded as the finest example of railway architecture in Belgium[citation needed], although the extraordinary eclecticism of the influences on Delacenserie’s design had led to a difficulty in assigning it to a particular architectural style. In W. G. Sebald’s novel Austerlitz an ability to appreciate the full range of the styles that might have influenced Delacensiere is used to demonstrate the brilliance of the fictional architectural historian who is the novel’s protagonist.
