In Amsterdam this July I tried to get a few snappies from all sorts of people. This city is a place where the world meets. The special atmopshere there is special and so are the visitors. This couple strolled among a crowd waiting for buses opposite the "Centraal Station". Olympus EM5 + Nocticron

Last Friday and Saturday I went to enjoy the final days of Amsterdam Gay Pride, including the Canal Parade. I was carrying a minimalist set up: My beloved M Type 240 + 'cron 35 asph + Thumbs Up EP-10S + spare battery. Back home I made a Blog posting with some text and a couple of pictures, primarily to update my friends and family on the event, but of course you're welcome to have look, too: Gay Pride Amsterdam 2013 – a personal account | Norbert Steinkamp. Most of the evening and night shots in my report were taken at ISO 3200. In some situations it was so dark I wouldn't even think of focusing on something. The camera's been a delight to use. I was operating it in classical RF mode, which implied hip shooting and focusing guesswork. I may bring the EVF next time, however, while being a great tool for the exact work, it often interrupts fast and intuitive picture taking.

Here are a few more impressions from streetlife in Amsterdam. I tried to catch these moments with my new Elmarit 90mm R lens mounted on Canon 5D MKII. Many young people go there to have a good time and celebrating a hen-party or stag-party. That is the reason why you see them in strange outfits.Since these are no portraits for the people thread I post them here. Have a look at the collection and I am glad if you'll take time for the fun. [ATTACH]320294[/ATTACH] a fine saturday afternoon in a beer barrel.

In May we went for a daytrip and it was the first outing for my R-lens Elmarit 90mm mounted on my Canon MKII. So, this time I also did a lot of street photography, which will be posted later on on the people thread probably. Here only a few classic views but one . Who ever would like to have a look is welcome - thanks in advance for taking time.

The day I was in Amsterdam I bought a Leitz Elmar 50mm 1:2,8 from 1961. I had my M8 with me and of course wanted to try out this old glass. So I did, take a look at a few shots I took during that day. Thanks for watching and please critique is welcome! I also wanted to see the resolution of the lens, see last 2 images. It was quite stunning, but not surprisingly, since we are talking about leica glass here.

once a year we visit the city of Amsterdam. This time I carried all the equipment and the X1 served as backup. It was a pleasant sunny day and a few hours passed like just a moment. Just have a look and thanks for viewing.
