Birmingham with K7

Another good series. I'm not sure which is my favorite, maybe the last one despite the chopped off feet, but #2 is also good as is the first one, although that first one I wish the guys were a little more centered in the frame. Have you considered leaving off the 1.4x converter? You might have a little too much focal length and would include more whole body shots (ie, not cut off the feet) if you did. Cheers!

Hi Jason. They are what they are, that is , some are cropped weird and many people will not like the crops. The set up currently is back to the old K7 and Samyang 135mm F2. There is no 1.4 converter on these.

HELLO if you are still watching this crazy circus that is still pumping out ordinary after-work Street Photography in my beautiful city of Birmingham in the UK. Very Hot today which affected my motivation but I got something.

HOPE you like one.

I had some problems with this one of them displaying from Today's shots so here it is again . Hopefully this works. It is the best shot or at least my favourite from Today.

I like number 3, hand gestures from one, and perhaps holding a cell phone in the other person? Good timing.
 
These are all really good. Maybe the heat did something good for you? I'm noticing the huge number of cell phones here. Almost literally everyone's got one.
 
Another Hot day in Birmingham trying Street Shots and mostly losing and very ordinary today. I actually rate these as one of weakest days so far but the 5 chosen may hopefully hide this fact.

Hope you like something.

Hope to do better tomorrow. Certainly a lot of the shots that I have not shown were pretty boring today.

Regards to all and I will try better and harder tomorrow.

You have used the K7 now for some.time. Can you tell something about the haptics compared to other DSLRs?

From the product images on the internet, it looks very large an bulky compared i.e. to a Nikon D600 or D7100. What is your impression with handling etc.

(I might move this later to a specific K7 thread)

Really? The K7 is smaller and lighter than both those Nikon bodies. It also has fantastic ergonomics.
