The Heron

GX200, f4.4, 1/70, ISO 673, RAW, 72mm

Took this while out for a walk after work today. Sometimes it is very handy to have a zoom in a camera, the added flexibility is very nice. I think as much as I like the prime lens on the GRD I would gladly change it for a lens similar to the LC1. Or a interchangeable lens camera with a very fast prime lens and a somewhat slower zoom lens.

  1. I think I know where this was taken, but not 100% sure, so I'm going to check.
    A zoom is a must for street photography.
    Looking through my pics its surprising to see how many people are oblivious to what is happening around them as they text.

  2. Tell me when you know it, you are always very good at figuring out where I took my pictures.

    I don't think a zoom is always necessary and prefer to get close to people but sometimes to get the desired composition a zoom can be handy. For me a zoom should be only up to 90mm, everything longer that than will not allow you to be close enough to the action and anticipate a shot.
