Urban Sketchbook

[WhyNot]

Most of my photography has been close up but I also like to do candid photos and to have a take everywhere P&S camera with me. A number of new p&s cameras are both easy to take along and perform well in low light. Besides candid pictures these cameras function well as a sketchbook -- that is for capturing scenes that I think have possibilities that I would like to remember or for experimenting with exposure. However, it seems to me that these cameras should have a niche of their own and that niche might be the urban landscape, something that I have rarely done.

So here are some market shots for your C&C. The question is how to elevate these above the sketchbook. The produce manager, 105mm (EFL), f/4.9@1/250, ISO 2500



Some squash, 105mm (EFL), f/6.3@1/60, ISO 640



Red snapper, 28mm (EFL), f/6.3@1/60, ISO 640

Great shots! By any chance, do you know how much the fruits and fishes are? Just joking. But like I said, great shots! Are there more? =)

Thanks for stopping by and the comment. It is my intention to continue with these for a while until I decide whether I have found a perspective that I like or decide it's really not my thing. If I get anything interesting I'll probably post here once more. Quite frankly I've posted sets in the C&G forum on three other occasions and yours is the first comment I've received. Thanks.

...can I know which camera you use.

Thanks for the comment. .... I was kinda trying to avoid any gear talk, but there are any number of great new P&S cameras out there, but I happen to use an s90.

Thanks for spending some time here.

Is your S90 unique??

Exif data:

Camera Make: OLYMPUS IMAGING CORP.
Camera Model: Canon PowerShot S90

What aren't you telling us??

Great shots btw!

It's extremely unique !!! ..... Actually, I use Olympus Master software to downsize my files for posting here. Oly for some reason known only to their software engineers likes to add their name to the EXIF, usually removing Canon's .... make of it what you will but preferably on CTF or OTF.

I think it might be safer to stay well clear of that arguement!

I keep coming back to the pic of the squashes; they've given me an idea for a trawl around Borough Market.
