Week 23 – 90mm
I’m using my Tamron 90mm macro lens this week, this first image I saw the strong shadows and liked the potential there. I tried converting to monochrome but ended up liking the original colour image better.

Some more images with the 105mm macro. This time people shots instead of architecture 🙂

Week 21 – 105mm
I was fortunate to have been able to borrow a friends Nikon 105mm f/2.8 Macro lens for a few weeks so I’ve incorporated it into my street shooting arsenal whilst I have it.
This week two more architectural shots – this time focusing more on details (@ 105mm which is a reasonable telephoto 155mm effective field of view compared to full frame sensor) rather than the expansive wide view given by the ultra wide 8mm lens.
For this first I’d seen the outside of this building a number of times and wanted to take a shot with the glowing late afternoon sun hitting the wavy curves from the side. Unfortunately going back there a few times I could never be there when what I envisioned happened (I suspect it might not at this time of the year and I might have to wait till spring/summer for the sun to be at the right angle). As a monochrome however I think it still works (I’m still keen to do a sunset glow one day though :)).

Week 20 – 8mm
I continued my ultra wide theme this week and also the architectural theme which seems to work with this lens.
This first image is my own favourite street image so far with this particular lens – I knew when I was composing and taking the shot that it was going to be good – with the light falling on the building as it was (backlit by the setting sun with some front light reflected from the building behind and to the left of me). Even in colour the image looks great and I was pleased with the monochrome post processing results.
