The long weekend has arrived, with public holidays stretching until next Tuesday. Waking up early morning, I was excited and brought along my gear to my usual street hunting ground to do some shutter therapy. It has been quite some time since I last shot on the streets alone. It was rather refreshing being all by myself, focusing on the shots that I wanted to make happen without worrying if I was walking too fast or having the need to wait for others. I did not have to entertain anyone, hence I have my full concentration to shoot. No conversations, more brain power dedicated to making photography happen.
All images were taken with Olympus DSLR E-5 and Zuiko Digital lenses: 11-22mm F2.8-3.5, 25mm F2.8 pancake and 50mm F2 macro.

More photographs shall come soon. The weekend is still young, and I have lots of things planned out. Nonetheless, do give me some feedback on the photographs !! Cheers.
Hi Robin,
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful series. I can see your into the "Black and White phase." Visually its more powerful than taking pics in colour. Great job mate!
Have you seen the new OM-D aka EM5 from Olympus? The pic is at 43rumors.com. Looks like it a great camera to behold. It's the E5's little brother. Hopefully as good if not better. Can't wait for you to review it.

What a fine example of street photography.
ReplyDeleteHello Eric,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words !!
Indeed the E-M5 looks very sexy. Cant wait to see it happen, and hopefully I get to reveal it. So far everything in the rumor site is making it look great.
Thanks Vladimir.
Still learning and improving here

ReplyDeletejust letting you know, waiting to receive a used OM zuiko f/1.8 50mm from b&h :)
Hello Richard,
ReplyDeleteThanks !!
Wow, OM 50mm F1.8, you will surely love what the lens can do for you !!
Particularly liked the first one and the two with the cats. There must be a lot of cats in KL lol.
ReplyDeletehello Jan,
ReplyDeleteThanks !! There are many cats in KL, you were right. And I love cats.
A fantastic series of photographs. How did you get the cats to pose ;-) . You must have been working very fast! Speed variance is amazing also. I love your blog! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marco,
ReplyDeleteSometimes, it is about luck, and sometimes, it is about how fast you respond when you see something. I was lucky to capture the cat shot. The next second the cat moved away.
@jan and robin, lots of rats too, when are we gonna see some rat shots?
ReplyDeleteRichard,
ReplyDeleteTrue, but the rats are usually too fast and I don't use long lens usually on the streets ahaha
