London Street Photographs with the RX-100

London Street Photographs RX-100 May 2013 003London life from April this year – shot round Soho and Waterloo

 

No question I am severely behind on this site.  I thought I had published these back in May, but on rootling around, I noticed they were still sitting here in draft form.  So now they get published although they they have been on my Flickr and Google+ accounts for some time now.

I continue to be impressed by the RX-100 camera.  It’s been lightly superseded by the mark II version (which has essentially the same image quality), but still remains the most pocketable enthusiast camera around.  I have now found a Sony drawstring bag (from a sony flash unit) that fits it perfectly, and allows me to genuinely put it in my trouser pocket while walking around and keep it protected.

What’s been occupying me during the late spring and summer though is a new Sony, the NEX-6, which has drawn me into a frenzy of lens and camera buying, plus lots of testing.  I’ll publish a bit on that in the next few weeks, but for now here is the latest set from the little wonder. As usual, if you have Flash the photos are best seen in full screen (press FS in the bottom right hand corner), and in slide show ( press SL).   If you don’t have Flash, i.e if you are using an Apple iPad/Pod/Phone, or a Nexus 7/10 tablet, or any Android tablet running 4.1 +, you can now see them as well.  Just click any of the thumbnails and a full screen slide-show should start. Information on each photo can be seen by clicking on the ‘i’ symbol in the upper right corner of the screen show.

    Bali jam

    On the plane back to KL  there were a few moments to reflect on what is happening to Bali.  Always a favorite place, we just had one of our best ever times here, celebrating the *0th birthday of our  dear friend M**k, along with the chickadee and her hubby.  But it may be one of…

    The saintly Paul Krugman (of whom more later) often helpfully tags his columns in the NYT with the descriptor “wonkish”, or “slightly wonkish”, signifying some more or less baffling piece of economics theory.  I like ‘wonkish’ more than say,  ‘nerdy’, probably because if Krugman likes it, then it’s good enough for me. I mention this…

    ” Today’s photo:  A serious gaze from this boy in the market in New Bagan, Myanmar. I liked his combination of extreme youth and extreme seriousness. There is something quite timeless about him. But not necessarily sad I think – Myanmar seems quite a happy country – at least in this part. I recently posted…

    This is the first of a series of shots taken in the footsteps of the great Alex Webb, a photographer who I greatly admire.  Webb takes colour street shots of great chromatic contrast and with unsettling, but perfect composition.  Some of his very best work is in his book, The Suffering of Light. Even if…

    Today’s photo:  Blue and Gold. A long exposure shot taken near Simonstown in the Cape Peninsula, as the rising morning sun illuminated the jagged sandstones of the False Bay coast.  A further by product of my endless (and so far unsuccessful) attempts to capture effectively the sun rising behind the False Bay lighthouse.  These attempts…
