Cheers guys. I am off to the gallery this morning to have a look at the temporary exhibition rooms, to see the size, the light, the atmosphere, hanging facilities etc. ideally, I think I would like one really large piece, something really punchy in emotional terms (Marc?) and a couple of other large'ish ones......like the stogie smoker, the clappy hands buskers shot, kiss look hurry by. Then a nice cluster of mixed A4 and A3 sizes. I quite like the idea of a rolling show on an LCD Screen
They were also interested in my night city'scapes, but I reckon it would jarr.....probably. I love both genres for different reasons, but street for me is the emotional must.
Will be interesting to see what I can squeeze out of the M6/Zeiss 21mm combo. I had a couple of films back, but need to get the negs scanned. From what I see so far, I think the combo is gonna be a great tool. The depth is astonishing, lovely contrasts and tones. I did some colour work on the London Underfround network and colours look fantastic to me. My b/w roll has beautiful creamy tones. I just need to get a 21mm view finder to give me confidence in my framing....I just ain't getting close enough.
Zone focus @ f8 2mtrs will be great when I do get in close. Gives me plenty of latitude. Last thing i wanna do with old shaky paw is try and focus. I have another couple of films to come back, I may be closer with these.
I have had handling issues, but I find that with the neck strap shortened and pulling the camera hard away from my neck til the strap is taught....it gives me a sec or two to shoot. Surprisingly, I can hip shoot with it and wind on one handed.
Don, I appreciate your effort and time, really!
Tim, like your choices......but surprised Buskers 3 with clappy hands didn't make it.
Once again, cheers guys.
