Advertisement Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Hi Guest Nowhereman, Take a look here Leica Summaron-28 -image thread. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jmahto Posted November 10, 2017 Share #802 Posted November 10, 2017 I am learning a lot from this thread about street photography. Not much of photography, but what (not) to post and how to defend in virtual online world. Disclaimer: I have not shot with 28 summaron (I use 28 cron) and I am not a street photographer. Although I did try once. I tried to cover as many streets as possible in one picture. Please feel free to criticize. Welcome, dear visitor!

michaelwj Posted November 11, 2017 Share #803 Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) Hear hear, let's get back to some more photos! @Nowhereman - I love the rawness and happenstance of you images, keep them coming! @wattsy - more of you gentle landscapes please! @Ozytripper - let's see em! ps, I don't care how old anyone is, or why it matters in the slightest. Are the young not allowed to take photos? Last time I checked both young and old were capable of making great photos but what do I know.

Guest Nowhereman Posted November 11, 2017 Share #804 Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) Thanks, Ozytripper and Michael. The best way deal with the type of posts that you refer to is simply to ignore them. BTW, I don't mind negative comments when they are a critique: e.g., "I don't like your composition because of A and B and C..." vs "I don't like your composition." I might care about what the former type of statements say depending on the specifics, but couldn't give a damn about the second. Michael - "I love the rawness and happenstance of you images." Thanks, that surely is the point of that type of image. In a photo essay or a book that approach can be overdone. I find the combination of the Summaron f/5.6 28mm and the M10 is excellent for this type of mage, though I'll also try this lens with Tri-X and Portra 400. As for color vs B&W for this type of street photography: some images like my last one above, for me, works better in B&W, particularly when shot in harsh and bright tropical light. Color, though, can be very good when the color itself is the basis of the composition, as in the picture of the university student in post #790 on page 40. _______________ Alone in Bangkok essay on BURN Magazine Edited November 11, 2017 by Nowhereman Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozytripper Posted November 12, 2017 Share #805 Posted November 12, 2017 Hear hear, let's get back to some more photos! @Ozytripper - let's see em! ps, I don't care how old anyone is, or why it matters in the slightest. Are the young not allowed to take photos? Last time I checked both young and old were capable of making great photos but what do I know. Hi Micheal, I totally agree that age has nothing to do with talent and the ability to take great photos Attached below are a few photos I took this morning just walking around in the rain. Absolutely no Pulitzer Prize winners here nor anything of artistic value. But I had fun. Even ran into a fellow Aussie Tourist photographer and had a good yarn Just an ordinary Hong Kong market scene Welcome, dear visitor!

Instead of offering to kiss me he threatened to stick his tooth pick in my eyeball not usual to see a guy picking his teeth like this in a busy street even in Hong Kong Welcome, dear visitor!

Ozytripper Posted November 12, 2017 Share #809 Posted November 12, 2017 Why is it good? Is shooting from the hip not a valid form of photography? Hi Michael, I have never shot from the hip before. But i sure am going to give it a try. No pain no gain. Let's all try it with our Summaron and post some lovely photos. Better still start a new thread - shooting from the hip Cheers 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted November 12, 2017 Share #811 Posted November 12, 2017 Please cut out the personal insults and fighting. It is Sunday morning and I have better things to do than edit-delete posts and warn members for infantile squabbling. The forum forbids ad-hominems, insulting and abusive posts and fighting. Edit - I see that Andy is deleting. Thanks, Andy. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattsy Posted November 28, 2017 Share #820 Posted November 28, 2017 What I particularly like about this lens is how it handles contre-jour. The combination of moderate contrast, good flare handling and "glow" (presumably some aberration thing) works well with modern film. So much so that I am willing to put up with the soft corners as a price worth paying. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
