Fun with the RX-1

[The Smoking Camera]

Joe, again great shots and what a lovely place to be, but the couple in the bunker really connected!

Thanks. I am fortunate to live here. Yes, I enjoyed meeting the couple. They did seem very fond of one another.

I hope they gave you an e-mail address or you exchanged business cards!
Definitely a vacation keeper!

Steve, you are off topic :OT:
This thread exists to show the abilities of the RX-1. As usual, you show that few if any cameras have limitations in your hands. Great photos :thumbs:

Jorgen...Too Kind! Much Obliged, Friend!

i can't tell you how much I am enjoying the weather. Here is some RX1 bokeh at f/2.2.

I Love This!!!:thumbs:

Here are some of my demo images with the camera. Was in NY and had just brought the camera. A fantastic walk around, great file size, I can push the images in post and the lens gives a great look to the image. Great little camera. Makes me yearn after my old Contax G2. In fact it has the same feel to me.

6x6, the color seems a little muted, but I assume that's your PP style, otherwise, NY looks a bit gloomy!

Joe, I am really liking your photos please keep them coming. Of the last set, I like the couple in the bunker and the shot from on top of the bunker with the 3 people and two islands the best. I am very envious of your location and weather.

6x6, I love the NYC photos. The selective focus works well (e.g., older gentleman in far background of first photo). Did you use manual focus to select the focal point? I also really like the last image as well. Your PP style is very different than my own and it is great to see different styles. It makes me think, which is a good thing.

Thanks Mark. I also enjoy the two photos you like. Quite a bit of detail in the couple image including some nice reflections in their glasses. Plus the graffiti colors just pop even though it was quite dark inside. As much as I enjoy living in Hawaii, I equally enjoy visiting New York and elsewhere for a completely different feel and look. More photos soon perhaps. Happy holidays.

Joe,

That 7th shot almost gives me vertigo as I feel like I am going to fall off the side of the mountain.

Hosermage, I deliberately mute the colour in a lot of my work. I like the look. However ny was very overcast when I was there.

Mark, the image of the man taking in he sun was using auto focus. I just worked very quickly. Zone focussing may have been the better option, but I didn't have any time to think.

Moonlight dog walk. ISO 25,600, f/2, 0.4 sec., 35mm lens, handheld. AF hunted a bit.

Joe,

I know you take great photos, I view them and think "WOW". You also have great cameras. How do you decide which the great camera you that you take on a photo shoot?

Great, great pictures posted here, congrats.
Just received mine and I am super happy...it is the quiet compact I was waiting for, for the ski, the bike and on the walk with the dogs ;-)
We had one day with blue sky...so I did a few pictures if you want to see them a bit large, they are on my server there:

If you see something unusual, let me know, I learn ;-)
Good pictures to all.
Thanks.

Mike, the variety in your Christmas Eve photos show the versatility of this little camera when coupled with a photographer with a good eye. Well done.

Joe,

Very nice of you - thanks. Which camera depends on the shoot. D800 is all around, D3s for low light action shots, H4d-40 for studio and daylight, Rx100 for fun and still evaluating the Rx1.

Went to a Christmas brunch and saw this Pink Cadillac in the parking lot.
Fortunately, I had the Sony Rx1 with me.
A few photos.
