Wow! Pg1-13, I sure hope I did not bore you.
Thanks for your compliment.
Really appreciate it.
One year on and the photos are still good. Not boring at all.
Thanks for the kind support.
Ok..
Something special for you.....
:bigeyes::bigeyes:
Wanted to go here when I was there but don't think my bazooka can make it inside. You shot this with a smaller cam bro?
They do allow photos but serious cams are not allowed.
Also no taking photos of body parts and closeups.
I never thought of doing the latter anyway
Luckily, I only had my just purchased Q7 and Dp1m with me.
Took most shots with the Q7.
This one is with the Dp1m.
I am using a white colored K30, maybe it does not count as a 'serious' camera too

Haha yeah. This DP1m is sharp sharp sharp.
Am on the look out for a small compact or mirrorless camera that can give good ISO performance at least up to ISO3200. Will check out the Q also

hello! i love your street photography! very interesting angles and nice bokeh!
you mentioned that you use prime lens for some photos.
i am using prime lens most of the time, but i don't have much courage to take photos of random people on the street

Too bad when using high iso, its not sharp enough for this.... I can't crop enough to check that photo at 100% :devil::bsmilie:
Compact cams, are pretty decent for most stuff nowadays, but need to be more realistic on their IQ vs larger sensors.
Lots of choices to choose from nowadays.
I love the Q7.
Fast AF; fast 'normal' lens; option of various lenses for versatility.
I left my impressions of using it here.

Thanks for the kind comment.
This thread started off for me as an exploration of street/people/candid photography.
So many things to try, be it focal lengths of lenses, camera types/sensor size, techniques.
Still a big work/learning in progress for me.
I use primes most of the time.
Just start with more touristy and crowded places where you will not be noticed or paid attention to much.
Maybe start off with a bit longer lens like a 85mm, 50mm, 40mm on aps-c and then move down to a more 'normal' or wide lens like a 35mm or 24mm, etc.
Along the way, find out what you prefer too.
Some days I like long fast lenses for isolation, other days, I prefer just a 'normal' like a Q7+47mm with deep DOF for more context, so nothing is fixed.
Shoot more.... cheers.
travelling....
Great series on Japan.
Thanks for the encouragement.
