Lovely shots, Roger. The one of the Dom's dome brought back memories. I'd
bought my first non-normal lens, a Hektor 135/f4.5 for my M3 in Salzburg and
we had gone up the hill to shoot the town probably from the same place as
yourself. That was in 1960, dare say there's been some changes since. I must
dig out the Kodachrome and compare.
John.

Subject: [OM] A few photos from Austria
Dear all,
I sent a mail about this yesterday but haven't seen it get through to
the list. Apologies if the first one gets through after all.
I took a brief trip to Salzburg two weeks ago, flying with my favourite
airline Ryanair for just 25 pounds. I was there for just over 24 hours
but managed to take a fair number of photos, some of which I've added to
my website at http://www.worldtraveller.f9.co.uk/travel/austria
Salzburg's a wonderful place, full of beautiful buildings, narrow
streets and courtyards, surrounded by forest-covered hills and
mountains, small enough to explore thoroughly on foot, and full of nice
restaurants and coffee houses. I highly recommend a visit for anyone on
European travels.
I took the photos with an OM-1n + Tokina 28/2.8 and Zuiko 135/2.5, and
they're on Fuji Sensia 100. The camera battery appeared to be dead on
arrival in Salzburg, and foolishly I didn't have a spare. Couldn't find
any on sale and so had to guess all my exposures. I was very pleased to
find that most of them came out OK, and I'm thankful that I've got a
camera that a) is fully functional without batteries and b) has taught
me enough about metering over the years that I know what the exposure
should be.
Any comments and critique of the photos most welcome.
Cheers,
Roger
