As a little project, putting together a little Blurb book of pics taken on the boardwalk in Wildwood, NJ in 2010... Feel free - of course to add to this thread if you have boardwalk shots. These were taken on a stroll on the boards yesterday using the Nikon D5000 with 35mm 1.8DX lens... My new "digital rangefinder"... (It counts, right, if it has a "rangefinder stetting?")

Stick to your guns, baby. I'll get off the box now. Someone else probably wants to make a point.

Thank you, sir! Nice to see someone else "gets it" and by all means, stay on your soapbox as long as you wish... And great shot. Hope you can post more to this thread. Yes, the smaller DSLRs give you all the that's required, and I can't say this was always the case (I was a film hold-out until very recently - still love it too...) and big flash drives give you all the "film" you need. So you can walk around all day and snap away like HCB did without the constraints of dozens of rolls of film to process... Another advantage is that you can select your film stock "after the fact" and use one that's best suited. Above, digital "Velvia" was used, Tri-X, infrared, and Portra NC as appropriate to the subject. You can try out which one - see what works best. It matters.
 
Good stuff, Nick! Love the one of "Zoltar." As I say over and over, use the camera that *you* enjoy using, and use it well. That is, I hope, where we can agree.

By the way, you were not critical of a camera that *I* own. I've never had a m4/3 camera, and it's not on the "pending" list, either. (I do have an E-620, purchased specifically as a platform for the marvelous 12-60 SWD, in my opinion and for my purposes the best all-around zoom available for *any* platform. But that's another story.) For street work it's a Ricoh GR-1 and an M6, both of which I've had for over a decade.

Anyway, your camera is an excellent choice (as I've maintained all along), but more importantly I like your pictures, and that's what it's all about!

@remphoto - ahhh, OC. Nice pics. Boardwalk... 2nd next to Paris for street photography...
@Semilog - thanks! [Edit] I WANT that Zoltar machine!!!!
@mableshound - this weekend I brought one. Last year and years prior I brought: Iskra (if into taking medium format pics), Panny superzoom (kids on the beach...), Fujica Compact Deluxe (favorite rangefinder), sometimes the Lynx 14 (loaded with 1600 Neopan...), and a Fuji F20 (travel light...) Too many cameras! This time around the D5000 and the Compact Deluxe for shooting film.

Oh, sure, Zoltar wants you to think that you want his machine. Then you get it, and he starts using his mind control to make you do things -- terrible, terrible things -- that you'd never do otherwise. Like buying a m4/3 camera, and liking it ;-).

wildwood, unlike seaside, just goes on and on and on for miles. I was startled the first time I was there. someone -- nick, you're a good candidate -- needs to document all that neon before it disappears.

john robert lennon, what shore do you go to when you go? if you don't say "down the shore," we know it's not NJ.

Thank you... Yes, Seaside is as you describe. WW a little more less so, but not by much... 😉
