Streety TT, Part 3


Our initial plan was to walk past this little skater-popular area to head to Zouk. Shot with the manual focus Opteka 85mm F1.4!


But the rain came, and so we stayed within the periphery of KLCC. Also Opteka. The rest of the shots are with the Minolta 50mm F1.4.


Hot day.


What makes people decide to have a conversation out in the middle? This is one of the shots that Szetoo would’ve probably shot wider and closer (I used the 50mm for this.)


Alert eyes.


Then came the rain again!

Streety TT, Part 2

Now, for some street shooting, not necessarily of the street portraiture variety!


I came, I saw.


A tribute to Cyanide & Happiness!

farex and I ended up taking a detour through Sultan Ismail, coming to the front of Hard Rock Cafe. The Opteka 85mm F1.4 is nice to street-shoot with although I do feel like I cheated because it is tele. (Click image for bigger version.)


The target destination was Dang Wangi LRT station. (Click image for bigger version.)


Finally, the view I was looking for! Vivitar 24mm F2.0 at F2.0 because I could not set the aperture.

28th February 2010 a bunch of us were down at Signatures Food Court at KLCC for some geeking out!

Here’s my Opteka 85mm F1.4 on the left (which is really a rebadged Samyang) and the Samyang 8mm F3.5 diagonal fisheye with the lens hood.

And then, we went for Szetoo‘s Introduction To Travel And Street Photography Talk!

I have to say her pictures looked even better projected for some reason. Inspired, we set out to go outdoors to street shoot (but that will be in another post.)

farex (sorry didn’t get your real name).


It rained heavily so we resigned to another Teh Tarik session. Click picture for bigger version!
