Makoto from Sapporo, Japan
Great contrast. I want to use that camera someday. Very nice photo!

@Makoto: i don't use it often - it's so big and heavy. but, it is a good one to look through (with the waist level finder).
@Paul van der Meer: thanks paul

I like the lines they create a wonderful surface and angles. A bold, effective composition.

Love the abstractness of the image..the lines..the forms. Excellent processing. The black sky is incredible!!!

Stovepipe from Ames, Iowa, United States
Dramatic presentation. How many red filters did you stack to do that?!

@Stovepipe: :) came with the camera - never know what you'll get in an ebay package
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
The black sky contradicts the brightness of the building. It's a great abstract view of the theater.

Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States
I think this is the first time seeing a Kiev 60 shot. I had a Kiev 35a before but the meter went dead. Crazy shot.

@Howard F.: thanks howard. is the 35a a minox copy? i think i've seen them - olive drab? i was probably the losing bidder on one on ebay at some point. it's funny (to me at least) to think of them next to each other. the 60 is such a huge beast.
Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
I like these signs. I think there is also some great potential for close-ups if you can get up there or have the right lens.
31 Aug 2008 5:54pm
@Twelvebit: that's an interesting idea. a longer lens might work well. this place is just a short walk from my house.
Reiner from Brensbach, Germany
