Lens: DA* 50~135 Camera: K5 Photo Location: Washington DC ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: 1/60s Aperture: F5 
Posted By: joe.penn, 11-26-2011, 06:51 PM

Working with the DA*50~135 today (and yesterday) trying to figure out if I will still need the 85 1.4 for my random people street shots - tough choice...

Oh, I am having plenty of fun with it, however it is pretty large and attracts a lot of attention which makes it not the best lens to be shooting random people with. With that said, I think I will have to hang on to the 85...

Nice series. The girl in the 5th shot looks nonplussed, did you ask these people before shooting or just shoot and walkaway ?

Have you met with any resistance or anybody asking why you shot them or not take pictures of them, something of that sort

Well, no - the only time I ever got any resistance was when I actually asked someone if I could shoot them (go figure), since that happened I just shoot. The guy in the one pic with the blue sunglasses was kind of a different shoot as I was chatting to him for a bit about DC so he was one where I asked "like the reflection on the glasses, can I get a pic". It's funny as the girl that was taking the picture with her cell phone, I was sure she was going to give me the sh*t look as I was literally within feet of her, she never said anything...

Haha, interesting stories. We should probably team up next time you are in the city to shoot.

Man, just let me know when YOU are ready - DC is my playground and I am always there


I was down there for a few hours today, used the 85 1.4 this time - got a few pics, will post them later...
