Eyup, where've you popped up from?! Excellent photos pal, especially the first one. Never had the guts to try candid shots myself. What setup are you using? Canon 5D with 85mm f1.8 and 300mm f4L?

Edit: just been on your website too, liking the work you've got on there.

 

[Reyes]

F'in awesome

I registered AGEEEES ago, just forgot till recently. Im usually with a Beemer or Corsa forum.

Its not that hard, just snap while people do not pay attention. Well I suppose it does involve a bit of gutsy shots at time.

I used my 5D classic with the 85 1.8 and a 1D classic with the 300 f4L.

Got loads ill be sharing over the next few days.

I am on Flickr also - http://www.flickr.com/photos/31584547@N05/sets/

Slowly uploading more and more as I go along.

F'in awesome

Thanks

Sounds like a sweet setup! Wish I lived in London tbh, those walkabouts sound like just what I need at the moment. Added you on Flickr anyway pal.

 

[Hixle]

Excellent pics! Especially like the 1st and 2nd. 4th one down Camden by any chance?

 

[Ian]

Just realised I've seen some of your work on TP before, strange how everyone ends up in the same places.

 

[Teshi]

Ill add ya on Flickr later.

Luke, close but it was Brick Lane. Love it since there is more going than Camden IMO. Both good areas.

LOL! That too.

 

[BenWall]

Very nice photos! Website is a piece of art too

Shots like this always make me want a Leica

 

[Teshi]

Thanks all. Not too sure why these shots would make you want to get a Leica since they were all with a Canon.

 

[theduck]

Because for me the ideal camera for shots like this is a Leica

I also miss using my dads old film one

 

[john.med]

#4and #6 are excellent

 

[capturedbyjames]

awesome stuff... love the dof on numero 1. infact, make that all of them.

There is that. A rangefinder would be ideal but obviously with a longer lens, possibly still quite noticeable.

Thanks for the comments.

Im on there too. "elysium". Thats where my interest in photography grew into an obsession.

hehe nahhh.
first pic is my fave, captured him in a moment of peace by the looks of it

suppose, an overpriced film camera will take a better picture than a 5d in these sorts of situation. makes perfect sense

 

[Leeshez]

Spot on pictures .

I really fail to see how considering I have two film bodies sitting right beside my digitals.

Even at ISO400, film yields more grain that on digital, instantly affecting your IQ. The only time I can agree with you is if you mention high contrast black and white film.

Spot on pictures .

Thanks. More to follow.

 

[McBunny]

i want to get out doing more but i havent had time lately will have to make time soon though

 

[Teshi]

Ill try and organise some meets both car and just random based and see what we can do

Obviously never used a Leica. Also, if I was to buy a Leica, it wouldn't be film. You also seem to have missed my point as to why a Leica would be the ideal camera to use in this situation.

Lovely shots. Must be tricky to get a candid shot when waving a large piece of white drainpipe around at people.

 

[jaleach]

Gah - Lucky people and your 5D's... The pictures are great - I seriously need to get my 300D out and about more often. Just ordered a 50mm F/1.8 for it so looking forward to using that at the weekend.

 

[clairemae]

nice. but how do you take pics of people without them knowing

 

[JJ!]

Use the handy hidden in a towel trick lol

Helps if you have a long zoom, if I started pointing my 18-55 in peoples faces i'm pretty sure it wouldn't go down too well!

Well at 300mm, its tricky. You just have to be pretty quick or just wait till they look away.

I saved quite a bit for mine. I really had to work hard for it and im glad I did. My wallet did suffer.

Just be quick. Its easy in London since theres a lot of people. 50mm would be the shortest I would go. I tend to pretend im pointing at someone or something else.

I need to try with the 17-40. Not sure how tricky it could be.

 

[Marky_]

Cracking pics fella.

Really like 1-3 and 6.

 

[vibrio]

voyurism lol

 

[Justin]

3 is the best IMO!

 

[BenWall]

Agree num 3 is the best. What kind of processing, if any have you done here?

 

[Teshi]

To be honest, not much.

I just adjust the colours I see fit then tweak the contrast. Usually brighten up the exposure then add a touch of vignette to bring it back.

 

[Andi-B]

There's names and societies for people like you..

pervert

That's one of them


Excellent shots, liking #5 the most. I haven't done candid shots for AGES.
