I tried street photography with my Droid and I tried it with my friend’s iPhone. Not my cup of tea (…yet), my favorite two cameras for street shooting are the Sony Nex-7 and the Fuji X Pro1. Both are considered “rangefinder style” cameras. Small-ish, lightweight, unobtrusive with a pleasant, relatively silent, shutter sound. Both cameras look harmless compared to DSLR’s. more after the break Read the rest of this page >>

David looked at his watch and realized he had about an hour until his bus arrived. He scanned his surroundings and observed passengers rushing across the platform, the scene was engulfed in yellow light from the setting sun. With a smile on his face he guessed the color temperature, ISO value, shutter speed, aperture value and reached into his backpack. He took pride in guessing the correct settings, a habit acquired back in the film days. He felt good, in the zone, or like his girlfriend used to say, he was in “modus invisibilis”. He instinctively surveyed the area as he slowly stood up, turned on the camera, set the shutter to 1/125, the aperture to 8 without ever taking his eyes off a target he spotted across the platform. Then he disappeared into the crowd. More after the break Read the rest of this page >>
From the hip: Nikon D800 with Tokina 16-28mm f2.8
The Nikon D800 and the Tokina 16-28mm f2.8 make a striking pair, even at a combined weight of approx 4.6lbs! Check back for my impressions from my upcoming shoot this weekend with the D800E, that’s right, decided it’s worth the risk to go AA filter-less
I am particularly curious about how the 800E handles video.
