A Few R-D1 Snaps

[Guy Mancuso]

Alright great news and glad to hear that. Keep us posted . BTW some really nice stuff too.
I like the last one a lot of the news stand.

Helen question was it a load sound or was it silent when it went down. Reason I ask load may mean broken and silent may mean just jammed

 

[helenhill]

Thank You Guy!!
SILENT....the Quiet Killer

 

[Guy Mancuso]

Actually this time it might be the good killer. It maybe just jammed.

An old phrase we use around the house Silent but deadly. No need to explain further. LOL

I really liked my R-D1. Every now and then I would get a weird artifact around a bright highlight but that was about it. I was always scared of the shutter jamming so I sold it. Below are a handful of snaps I took with it.

Thanks! I'll try to dig up some of my other shots when I get home this weekend. I used the ZM 35/2 on the first shot and the Canon 50/1.4 on the second. That Canon was REALLY creamy but the ZM 35/2 was probably my favorite lens for the camera. It was pin sharp wide open and had a wonderful 3d'ness about it.

Helen, that second 90mm shot is just awesome! It is a quintessential "street" photograph!

 

[Guy Mancuso]

Ah one of the Epson girls is out on the street. Looking good too!!!!!

Way to go, Helen, you're startin' to get your groove with the RD1 already! Agree with Jack, really like the 'smokin' and talkin'' shot, and the last one is a hoot, I'm imagining the dog wrapping its leash all around the poor guy with his hands full next.
Splat waiting to happen. lol.

[Cindy Flood]

Way to go, Helen. Awesome. The R-D1s suits you.:clap:

Helen, that last one is a terrific image. It's my favorite of the group. It's well composed and balanced. Also, sharply focused with deep tones. Best of all, it evokes a story -- or possible stories -- about why the lamp, man, and woman are there for that instant of time. Nicely done.

 

[Jack]

Espressogeek, I love both those B&W's --- the processing treatment is excellent and the compositions spot on.
