Post some pictures

These are from the precious 24 hours I had with my R-D1s before I dropped it on concrete.

Yesterday, a mate and I took the DSLRs and big lenses to capture some kite surfing at Nobbys Beach Newcastle, Australia. It was about 3.00pm and a fair North easterly was blowing onshore, perfect for this sport.

Had the RD-1 over the shoulder as well and took some quick snaps inbetween the action. All with 40mm Nokton.

If you want to see the action shots, they can be found here

Those with an aversion to DSLR's please look away :)

New to this forum, rangefinders, and the R-D1 (just bought it last week in Tokyo)! Really loving every moment of it!

Thanks for the great forum, and for sharing your photos!

Picked up some new lenses this weekend (R-D1 user for almost a year now..)



A great exhibit of Capa's wartime photos @ ICP just ended on Sunday.

And further along my walk through midtown..

Steve,

That exhibition would have been fantastic. Did you get to see it?

I have a book on all the great TIME photogs. Apparently he shot 4 rolls during the D-Day landings but a photo assistant ruined all but 11 shots. Talk about a career move...

Just waiting on an adapter to try out 2 new Russian lenses. A I61 L/D and Jup 8. Can't wait.

Saw it Saturday, 2nd to last day it was open. Fantastic.

One strange thing I have noticed with ICP is very small prints at both of the exhibits I specifically went to see (Capa and an HCB one).
I suppose its all in what prints are donated/lent to them.
This exhibit had a lot of prints in the 5"x7" size range.
The HCB exhbit had prints as small as 3"x5".

Certainly does make for MANY more prints to spend time observing...

Amazing colors by my r-d1 and summicron 35 mm

Very foggy this morning, and this was shot at f/2, 1 sec. handheld.

Here's a couple of my friends kitty that i took last year when i first got the zeiss 50mm f/2. Having never used a rangefinder prior to last year, I find it very easy to use. I have been using my beloved R-D1 95% of the time since buying it. It's so much more fun to use than my dSLRs.

Both using the ZM 35/2.

The first was taken during a studio shoot in Fukuoka, Japan. Not my studio, I was just taking advantage of the setup :) Flash would certainly have been appropriate though I quite like the soft lighting.

And another from the Japan trip:

imho the dim lighting is what makes the image so special! awesome, magical shot. And such a great commentary on the paradoxical nature of Japanese society...
 
Mani, you will have a lot of fun...

Thanks Mani.
 
I got out for the first time yesterday to give the R-D1s a tryout. I didn't have much time to spend with it, but here is one shot. Taken with a CV Color-Skopar 35 and processed in Silkypix. SP gives me better colors than Lightroom.
