Some more super smooth Tair-11a bokeh

In the spirit of continuing the candid trend, this is an interesting candid I got recently. Again this was shot using the K200D and the Tair-11a. For this one I had pre-focused on the walkway area between 2 buildings on either side of the alley. Then just waited for someone interesting to walk through (ok maybe I just took shots of everyone that walked through…). I noticed this guy’s awesome face pulling skills later when I was reviewing.

Here is another Tair-11a candid shot. This is a very well known busker in Brisbane. He is mostly blind, and used to have a very old guide dog as his companion. Unfortunately the guide dog isnt around anymore, but he still busks in the Queen St mall.

Thats the end of the best photos from my honeymoon, so we are now back to Brisbane, this time taking some street shots with the Tair-11a 135mm f2.8 lens.
This guy caught my attention from across the street with his amazing fashion sense. Unfortunately the car in the background is a bit distracting, but a whole bunch of people walked in front of me right after I took this.

Went into the city on Sunday morning to collect some tv shows off my work pc and meaning to get some long exposure IR shots. As it turns out im far too lazy to lug my tripod around the city on a Sunday morning, so just took a couple of street shots instead.
I spotted these interesting shadows so was just waiting for the right person to come along to snap this shot.
Taken with the Pentax K200D and Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 lens @ 50mm f6.3, ISO 200 and 1/1250 shutter speed
This is a shot I have been wanting to get for a while, but am often running late or don’t have my camera with me. I finally took time out on my way to work to capture the great shadows along the sidewalk between the train station and my building in the morning.
The sun reflecting off the paving really contrasts against the deep long shadows well. This is also the first shot posted online from my brand new Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 lens which I purchased from Citiwide online ebay store. I had a $50 paypal credit for a survey and a 20% off paypal voucher which made the purchase much cheaper than it had rights to be.
Enjoy!
I shot this as I was setting up for the “Ghosts in the City” shot. I had the tripod all set, almost ready to go when this guy came wandering over for a look. So I took some shots of him. I had to up the ISO a bit to get him to stay still, but it came out ok.
This is a sign on the front of a local bank branch in Brisbane, I was waiting for a friend to make a deposit inside, waiting for someone interesting to be James
This couple came out of the branch about the same time as my friend, so I quickly snapped them. Its got a little more motion blur than I would like…but thats life I guess!
Almost time to get myself an AF prime for this sorta stuff i think, just have to convince my fiance. I’m sure she will go for it! haha
A panning shot of a speedy walker 
Took the DSLR out for some street shots yesterday instead of the little Canon. IQ difference is really something else, lol
Canon is super grainy at ISO 200, this shot at ISO 800 is way better.
Taken with the Pentax K200D and Pentax M 28mm f2.8 at f11, using zone focus method for focusing.
Another street shot from yesterday, taken from the hip with the Canon Powershot A590 IS running CHDK, shot in RAW. Was taken at 5.8mm (35mm @ 35mm equivalent), ISO 200, f3.5, 1/500″.
I have discovered that the Manual Focus option gets reset as soon as the display goes blank on this camera, will try to work that out…
Today I think I will take the DSLR out for some street shots, provided the rain holds off. I will take the 28mm prime, set to hyperfocal and see what I can come up with.
Processing was the same as the shot I posted last night – Hold On To Your Hat
