Description
Catching my breath,
Enough with the running
This city has boxed me in
Giving me the illusion of freedom

I've been running for days
Escaping the walls of my sanity
The city wants me to call it a home
Giving me the illusion of freedom

I look at the clouds forming above
Little power lines cross my mind
Trees are reaching out from the pavement
Giving me the illusion of freedom

All the cars, shops, buildings, crowd
Can't all of us open our eyes and see?
We are all boxed in this city
And we can't break free


****

This is my first submittion with my new camera. The Canon 5D. I'm really exited about it, and I think it will be a love story. I will still keep using my Nikon D70 for Infra Red shots, and for a back up camera, but The "Full frame" monster is something I'be been planning on for a long time, and I finally did it.

Canon 5D
Canon 17-40 lens
Tel Aviv, Israel.

The angle is amazing
And the shot is as well
You can barely tell which way is up
I like how the sky is on the puddle end..
At least I think it is O.o :giggles:

Great shot as usual Gilad. I think you will use that 5D a lot since you love wide angles Good luck with it, happy shooting in this new year.

And the 17-40 is an amazing lens.

Good job mate.

Okay, I like everything you do , so maybe it is just because I see your name and think that it has to be great, maybe my opinions have become biased! Either way I really like it, this, and everything else you do. OR maybe you are just that good. The later, right?

richardlai [2007-01-06 23:25:22 +0000 UTC]

I've heard a lot about your work on reflections. This one is stunning too. Many people might have already asked you this, but did this picture require a lot of post-processing/photoshopping?

Seems to be "the" camera. You certainly are "the" photographer. Great work as always. This shot is awesome and I know I can't really tell from looking at this but I bet a print would be stunning. I just read a quote from another great photographer that started working with a 5d and says it produces results on par with medium format film cameras.

Wow, I love this. Took me a while to figure out which way was "right" side up. From the thumbnail, it looked as if the texture in the road was actually cloud coverage. Very cool. I love the extreme angle... really emphasizes the corners of the buildings. And, the colors are just so nice. Great work. Can't wait to see what else you can do with your new 5D.
