Thanks, Mazor.
Years ago, I did a 20 roll Provia project with a Bessa L, C-V15/4.5 with a 5 mm extension ring. Very limited range of focus. Magnification, focus distance and such are defined. What was required was to implement a set of previsualized components that would fit the frame (sounds clinical and boring but it is hardly that) and snap away.
An old (digital) snap:

Hermann: Thanks. I just discovered that 'shoot' from last year on my computer. Like finding a lost roll of film!Matt: Particularly like the street portrait. And BTW: For my purposes the NEX first and foremost supports me to get closer to streetlife - poor man's (or dare I say sort of technically up to date) Leica substitute . Though, maybe in Mid-September my resistance once more will be put to an acid test ...
Two more from the "street":
"Passing By"
NEX-5N, 18-55mm/3.5-5.6 @ 33mm & f/7.1
"Still Waiting"
NEX-5N, 18-55mm/3.5-5.6 @ 55mm & f/7.1
Hope you like them and thank you for your interest.
Hermann, Thanks.
[FWIW, it is Vivek]
Kijkduin (Den Haag - The Dunes around The Hague) is a historic thing. One of these days, I will try to explore it and document it. This is hardly a series.
Shac: Thanks for the nice words and feedback!:salute:(...)
Especially like your "Passing by"
Matt: Congratulation on the new camera (and lenses). Especially considering, that we can expect more of your inspiring photography with each new gear! My acquisition manners inevitably are a bit more tempered, since I'm incapable of selling/trading in cameras and lenses, racing cycles, motorbikes etc. etc.Hermann: Thanks. I just discovered that 'shoot' from last year on my computer. Like finding a lost roll of film!
We're already out of synch. I traded in my Nex 5N, yesterday, to get a Fuji XPro-1
These are stunningly elegant photos! Geometry and color like Mondrian (if he did angles). :salute:
Cheers, Matt
Hermann. These are simply beautiful.:clap:It's a pity that it's so calm here (the Sony/NEX-related picture threads) lately. Maybe just too many different threads (Fun with the NEX cameras, the NEX-5, the NEX-7, plus fun with the NEX and different lenses, Fun with Sony, plus "Street" etc. etc.) - though first and foremost, what counts, are the pictures, aren't they?
Anyway, here are two, shot with the Sony NEX-5N, the 18-55mm/3.5-5.6 and for me they're "street" (photography of everyday-life in the public sphere); difficult lighting conditions as well ... :
"City Lights #2"
NEX-5N, 18-55mm/3.5-5.6 @ 18mm, f/6.3 ISO 3200
"Remember?"
NEX-5N, 18-55mm/3.5-5.6 @ 18mm, f/6.3 ISO 3200
Hope you like them and thanks for your interest.
Rayyan: Thank you for lookin' out "over the fence" - it's always a great pleasure to meet friends in "foreign territories"! .Hermann. These are simply beautiful.:clap:
:thumbs:A couple of photos from Swim Miami 2012. The first photo is of a Russian Olympian (his father was an Olympic gold medalist in 1980) who won the event. I cropped the shot to get a shot of his eyes through the goggles. The second shot is of an amazing swimmer who was injured years ago in an electrical accident.
Both shot with the a900 and Minolta 85/1.4.
