Thanks for that. It will be interesting to see if they can find a

PESO: Pike Place Market 3

A run of very long days at work has kept me from
posting PESOs and commenting on others' recently.

Here's another from my Seattle trip, of the Pike Place
Market.  In this section of the market, there are no
fixed vendors--people line up at the beginning of the
day for a stall, and pack everything up at the end of
the day.  So, it's a little different each time one
goes.

Hmmm. Good shot, but some tough choices here. If you had more of the  
guy on the left, I'd say crop less. But I'm guessing you don't, or  
you would have:-). As presented, he's not enough of a presence. So I  
would crop just tight enough to exclude the guy on the left, leaving  
the main character and the guy on the right. In any case, it's an  
excellent pic.

Yep, I think I can still picture a splash of horror on my face when I 
held 1DMk2 of Frantisek and took a picture of my brother. Instead of one 
I took how many - at least 5 in a machine gun manner.

In fact, I think K10D with its 3 fps seems to be right on target for me 
- not too fast, not too slow.

But I thought L1 was more like an AF Leica-like kinda beast.

But Cotty, given the size of a sensor and DOF of 20 mm lens - perhaps 
you could zone focus manually - you know - preset it to certain distance 
given the aperture setting and just walk away happily snapping around...

 For what it is, it's a superb piece of kit and as it only cost me a
 couple of hundred quid at the end of the day, I'll probably hang onto
 it. The flash is a miracle of design, and ergonomically it's great to
 use. But I probably want it to be something else - something that it isn't.

I suppose that the lens (SMC A 20/2.8) could be attached to your Canon, 
right?

 Meanwhile, I'm searching for my next acquisition ;-)

Me too. I am trying to enable myself with A 50/1.2. No luck just yet.

Cheers.

Boris

Re: PESO - Sparking One Up

Well, this is really strange to me. Both in a sense that tobacco smoking 
can be illegal and also because it is not entirely illegal but only half 
so...

Weird...

Re: PESO: Pike Place Market 3

I dunno, I think the slight movement of the people kind of spoil the
shot - just enough movement to be slightly blurred but not really
enough to show motion - makes me feel like they are in the way.

I think this is one that we have been trying to forget - it pretty
much is burned into the retinas - now doubly so - maybe that makes it
a 44?

Some of your shots, just grab me and others just don't do anything.

 Nice slice-of-life photo.  Did you compose that through the  
 viewfinder, or
 point your camera in their general direction so they wouldn't notice?

Thanks!

Composed through the viewfinder. It was one of those situations where  
I wished I had Live View on the K10D as it would have been easier to  
get the shot without nearly pulling a muscle in my back.
   ;-)

As it was I couldn't quite get the camera and my head to fit where  
they needed to be, so I had to crop to level the frame about 15 degrees.
