Birmingham with K7

Now here's a challenge Dino. When that foal grows up a bit, you'll have to take him into downtown Birmingham.
I bet you'd get hundreds of amazing images that way (ha ha) o_O :cry:
 
Here's my ones for today Pentaxions ( and anyone else curious to the crazy thing going on here. )
The sun is now quite high in the sky when I take these shots these days. It gets dark like 9.30pm or something these days. That does affect my spirit because when the sun is lower everything looks so beautiful. The results are not affected too badly though. The light is often reflected around and is still interesting sometimes. That means I can carry on for now and hope to make it all the way until the camera monochrome is in stock in Birmingham.

Hope you like something.

Thank you for looking. Nothing that great. Just people leaving work again captured with my DA* 200mm onto my 1.4 converter with K5.

Hello
The light was awful today, that is, it was flat as a pancake. Sun was completely covered by clouds. Not just the shots are affected. My inspiration was also very low because there was nothing interesting really with the light. I did not do very well. I am posting these but TBH they are poor below average. Infact I am going to cut it down to 2 or 3 shots things were so bad because the 5 in the folder are poor really. BAD DAY THEN ?? No actually. I will explain later after this post.

Sorry but these not great. Dino26323
 
A bad day turned out to be a very very good day.
Some people want to have some photos done. I will not say too much. Let's see what happens. Could be the start of something different for me at least in terms of the way i will shoot with this person. A willing model. Fantastic shots already considering how unprepared I was for this. The potential is massive.

Kindest of Regards Dino26323
 
I dunno... I think the man pushing the baby stroller is one of your better images. :)
You may be right i suppose. Who knows what other people make of your shots. It possibly helps that you did not see them all. The standard was way down until something special came along. A willing model. Things could get interesting indeed. The possibilities for composing shots with a willing model. Massive exciting what may appear on my screen with this person.

I am a lot happier with what I got today. There are tons that I like and the light was good and I shot evening light. However, it seems from earlier comments that often everyone else is bored to death when I post so many. Here are 5 faves but there were a lot that were similar grade pictures but that is just my opinin.
As always. If you hate Street Photography then dismiss these. They are just Birmingham ordinary shots. Nothing amazin.

Hope you liked something. The set were far better than yesterday but lucky yesterday the pushchair shot saved the day maybe.

Best Regards Dino26323
 
#4 is the winner today. Nice collection. Which 200mm lens are you using?
I have the current 200mm DA* F2.8. I only bought it last year even though I was very attracted to the size and weight many yrs ago when I tried it at a photo show.

Sorry for the late reply. Was obviously not paying attention to this thread when I had nothing to post and it was on the long 3 day weekend.

Regards Dino26323
