Birmingham Artsfest

A good opportunity to give my new K135mm f2.5 a spin on Saturday, as the city centre was overtaken with performances and art related shenanigans. And the usual street preachers

All images with the K135mm wide-open with the camera in Av mode, exept one which was taken with the DA15mm Ltd.

I'm really pleased with what the 135mm delivered. Next time I will go into machine gun mode a bit more, as focussing was a bit tricky and a lot of shots were a bit out.

No it's the SMC one.

Ah did wonder...

Number 10 is excellent

fantastic sharp images open wide.
love the last image

I love the depth shooting wid3e open gives. Works great with these pics!


I wish someone would make a 135/1.4

Thanks Smeggy, Gary and Iqbal. Gary, coming from a gig-photography expert such as yourself, that comment has made my day!

Cool ))

I managed to track down the band in the last few pics, and offered them the free use of the shots so long as they credit me. Very pleased to say they really liked the shots, and have said they will contact me for a paid shoot next time they're performing in town.

Nice shots, the first one is my favourite, #10 is great as well. Well done on getting the gig to photograph their next gig!
