12/5.6 + R-D1s: My New Favorite Street Setup

[deepwhite]

The 12/5.6, like the old 15/4.5, is not RF coupled.

After I got used to it, I love the fact that it's not RF coupled. Just set it to 1m and fire away.

Also, I'm currently very into the "Daido style". So I shot RAW and abused the shots with Exposure 2. Too heavy I know, but I'm having fun right now.

A few night shots on the Taipei streets:

Pic 5 is great.
The view up at night shows an non-endless space, transforms the space between the houses as an part of the livingrooms.
Seems I´ve to get an 12 or 15 very soon.

I'm also digging #5. I love moody, semi-abstract architecture shots.

Another vote for #5. At first glance it looked like a reflection of itself. I like #1 as well.

I too got myself a 12mm for the R-D1. Just got the camera back, time to play!

They're all fun shots. Proof that photography isn't about MTF curves and endless drivel, but about the composition, atmosphere, and impact. Show more!

Cheers,

Yes....please show more. The shots are great. I agree with #5 standing out. I love the style and processing. A perfect example of 6mp working perfectly for some situations.

#1 and #5 for me !! I like this series a lot, too. Post some more ! 🙂

In addition to the buildings, that last one is really nice too
Keep up the good work, nice processing here

Thanks guys.

One of the interesting thing about shooting along the street with an ultra wide, is that I have to get much closer than I used to.

That's why most of them are stealth-shots. I almost never looked at the view finder when I took them.

There's one unique shot. A black cat under the roof in the dark corner. This is what I have do to see the cat:

Wow the white one with the cat is really nice composing! looks a little bit upside down confusing. well done!

@ Fligor - thanks.

One recent shot taken in the elevator.
