Thanks Bondo.

Sorry guys, I couldn't resist. Here are two more :wtf:

S5 with Tamron 17-50 @ 38mm and f/4.0



S5 with Tamron 17-50 @ 48mm and f/5.6



The Tamron 17-50 deserves special mention here. For a lens that cost around $350 new, the sharpness and bokeh is simply outstanding. Apart for the need for a larger aperture now and then, and possibly build quality long term, I can't see any weaknesses at all.

Tired? It's a new day today, and one more tomorrow. Endless possibilities of getting even more tired :sleep006:

Thanks again, David :)

I'll give it some serious consideration once I get my head above the stacks of paper that are threatening to crush my cameras :cussing:

Happy that you like this one, David. While most motives just pop up in front of me, this one is a result of concentration and effort (and a lens that wasn't really up to it).

It's difficult to live in Asia as a Westerner without developing a changing view on people's value in society. If I could afford the time needed, that would be an obvious book project. Showing the dramatic social relations without the need for exposing the obvious cases like beggars, drug addicts and prostitutes (that we have in the west anyway, very much for the same reasons as in this part of the world), would give a window into this world that is hardly ever obvious to visitors.

Oh well.... dreams, dreams :rolleyes:
