I feel as though there is something I ought to be doing about now...

One from today.

Peeling

Taken with the K20D, 12-24mm lens.

Alone





While I was trying to set up this shot I had some unwanted visitors.

Not alone!




Best wishes, Kris.

Missed it. Oh well, I dare say there will be another one along soon...

I am so intrigued I have just bid on a Jupiter 11! Just what I need, another 135mm lens

I was amazed at how sharp I managed to get the "Asahi Pentax" on the filter given its position in the frame. Wacky bokeh in the lettering in the background though!

Lovely shot, and great BW conversion (as always!)

Some nice shots but I especially like the fifth one with the light catching the fence. Very nice.

One general comment though (and this might just be my shonky laptop monitor) but they all seem a bit too dark to me. In Lightroom I would use the fill light slider to try and give a fuller range of tones, or adjust the curves a bit.

Excellent shots all the same.

"Street photography" is a million miles outside my comfort zone as well. Give me a nice church any day! Anyway, for what is is worth, here are my comments.

The cheeky monk I really like. My only quibble is the annoying bin. Could you recolour it dark brown or green?

Young couple is less successful because the chap has a plant in this face, and the crossing is too busy for my taste.

Fashionable is superb. I love it. I might try and brighten the Pravda sign a little more to make it stand out.

The butchers is also super, I might crop it a little closer. The fancy meats is interesting, but somehow doesn't float my boat.

Looks like you are having lots of photographic fun in HK!

Best wishes, Kris.

I prefer the second one too as the trumpet is less OOF. In the first I find it too distracting. I'd be tempted to clone out some leaves, especially the large one to the right.

Best wishes, Kris.
