Relaxing at Sywell

There was strong contrast in this scene so I blended three exposures 1-stop apart in Photomatix. This produced a very striking colour image, but I preferred the gentler tones in this Efex conversion.

Girl-throwing up!

Snapped this candid whilst visiting Stonehenge today. Converted using Silver Efex.

Very very impressed with the little 18-55mm zoom on the X-Pro1.

The 135L wide open - perfect lens for low-key candid street shots.

Candid shot from the waist

Camera at waist level and shot whilst I looked the opposite way. Processed in Analog Efex. If I only could own a single lens it would be the Canon 50mm f/1.2L

What'ya doing with that huge camera?

I was taking candid shots in church at a wedding, but despite my attempts to be discrete this little one had me fixed in her gaze.

Alone in Bristol and Bob's suggestion

I watched this gentleman for a while and came away feeling rather sad without actually knowing anything about him. He seemed lost in his own world and it didn't feel appropriate to disturb him.

 

A candid with the best lens I own, the Canon 85mm f/1.2 L II.

 

This is based on Bob's suggestion for a reworking of the image using an oval graduated saturation filter in Lightroom. I think it works quite well.

Reading on the window seat

I really liked this candid - I love the natural light and felt a mono conversion worked well.

Asleep on the Moscow Metro

I'm very impressed with Nik Software's suite of products. This was processed using Silver Efex.
