Street: Week 19 – 8mm…

Week 19 – 8mm
In aid of my aim to have used every lens in my camera bag with street photography I decided to go for broke and limit myself to using my ultra wide angle 8-16mm lens only for a week or two.
This lens is incredibly wide – at 8mm I get a greater than 120 degree field of view, this also means that to photograph subjects with them being more than just a speck in the image I have to be close – REALLY close – we could be talking inches here…
This first image was shot at 8mm for some very nice wide angle distortion.
Lean over Me
NIKON D7000 + 8.0-16.0 mm f/4.5-5.6 @ 8 mm, 1/160 sec at f / 5.0, ISO 280
This next was taken early in the morning with the morning rush heading to the office.
Look Up
NIKON D7000 + 8.0-16.0 mm f/4.5-5.6 @ 8 mm, 1/250 sec at f / 5.0, ISO 100
This next is a revisit of an image from last week – personally I think I prefer the previous version at 17mm rather than this at 8mm but you can make up your own mind.
Sails Redux
NIKON D7000 + 8.0-16.0 mm f/4.5-5.6 @ 8 mm, 1/160 sec at f / 5.0, ISO 560
The last is an image I shot essentially towards the setting sun and when I took it I was going for this old worldly look for the image – it’s a pity I couldn’t exclude all the modern vehicles…
Chinatown
NIKON D7000 + 8.0-16.0 mm f/4.5-5.6 @ 8 mm, 1/160 sec at f / 5.0, ISO 180

Week 18
Continuing some of the architecture theme again…
I’d “seen” the locations and shots for the first two images the day before (but I was without camera) when wandering in the city at lunch so I ventured back the next day with camera in hand…
I was particularly happy with how this one turned out

Next week I’m going to limit myself to the ultra wide angle lens (8-16mm) and will try the following again at 8mm for an even wider (more distorted :)) view…

and for a bit of obtuse fun, made more incongruous because it’s smack in a small busy lane between two tall buildings in the heart of the CBD (between George and Pitt streets)…
