From an EP-1, which I had for a few days and returned. I'm now considering a GF1.

Everyone, great stuff! Hard to keep up.

Vivek, do you have a day job, or do you just roam the streets and canals? Good capture with the bicycle shot.

Cheers,

Bicycles are everywhere. If I step out of the house, there are people and bicycles. That simple.

Very rarely I roam the streets for making photos. Very rarely I step out of the house without a G1 with a Computar-TV 25/1.3 on it.:)

Unlike Seattle (for example), where it costs an arm and leg to park your car for an hour (and despite that most drive their SUVs), here (the Hague) it is down right impossible to drive even the tiniest of the cars in certain areas of the city. You can see people in 3 piece suits commuting by tram, buses or even bicycles.

Thanks, K. Apt. ;):)

Glad to see many folks.

Peter, You asked for a W/NW style thread on street, a while ago. Now, you have it. :)

Matt, Even special (illegal) parking signs do not work any more. :D

OK Vivek, you've got me interested... I'll get out and see if I can emulate my hero's here :)

Here are a couple I have to hand... more later!






By the way, the York Festival of Angels is a fantastic opportunity for street shooting in December.



Kind Regards

Brian

Brian, The first is a nice moment. While dealing with people and skin tones, sharp objects (like the lower right granite piller) create problems, depending on the light (well cars, shiny metal objects, bicycles, etc also pose a problem). Easiest thing to do would be to crop it off. Or you need to expose and process for the people.


This one was fairly flat lighting.



and this a bit more contrasty light but the shallower dof helped with the framing/emphasis.



Delightful spirit here.:thumbs: York fest photos would be swell. :)

Yes, I noticed that granite pillar immediately... I think I'm learning! these were from about 18 months ago - I hope I can do better now :D

Some outstanding pics! Vivek's "Kodak Moment" made me smile!

Promenade in Quebec City:



Street scene 'sans' people (much more typical of my photography):



One from the archives (not an m4/3 shot, but, like Vivek's shot, this one always makes me smile):

The last one, John, some very fine rendering. Silky. I like the capture as well.
