[…] mon Fuji XE2 avec le 27mm. Rappelez vous, je l’avais utilisé pour la première fois à Porquerolles. J’avais décidé de passer toute la journée avec le 27 mm. Pas encore de zone-focusing car […]

I can easily get close to people if people feel that I’m not a threat to them. At the seaside it was fearly easy cos, I was taking snapshots of my kids. So when other kids came playing with mine I wasn’t a threat. Yesterday I was at the skate park with my kids. I was able to grab some nice photographs of skaters because they assumed that I was with my kids and willing to take some pictures of other people skating. Then they get use to your presence. It’s some kind of mutual agreement. In the end, I would say it’s just showing that you’re just interested by what they’re doing and that you’re not a threat to them. But that’s true that the Ricoh is perfect some this kind of situation. Small, quiet and youlooklike a tourist ! 😉

To me if you had not put the camera make below the images I would be able to tell the difference. The black and whites definitely would not. I think it is good to get in close to a subject and that’s where the Ricoh comes into its own. You can really get fantastic shapes doing this and people are unaware. When you have to stand back people will wonder why and then the game is up when they see the camera!

Thanks John, I hope you had a great time with your family in Abu Dhabi. Judging by some pictures, you did have fun ! 😉
There are certains focal length people are more at ease with. From the fisrt day I shot with the 18 mm. That’s certainly why this focal length has my preference. I think that I might be sticking with this one for the rest of my life. But the fact is that I need to push my self to try something different. That’s why I want to try the 27 mm. To see the world differently.
Thanks for reading John !

I’m not sure the camera makes a huge amount of difference, it’s clearly the lens and it’s focal length that counts in your case. 18mm or possibly 12mm suits your style, you’re comfortable with it and it shows. As mentioned before, your son with his net is the Jewel in the Crown here, although and as always, they’re all very presented beautifully.
