Hmmm...low light...a red ceiling....a flashgun...and an S3 pro....

I was lucky today that I was meeting friends later on the day after going for some shots, since I realised after putting my hand in my camera bag that I forgot to bring the right lens for the day, as the light was not great today. So I was pretty much stuck I brought out a telephoto lens that focus at some distance and apertures start at f4.5 only....not good for London in the winter...So as I said, I met some friends later on the day and I had plenty of scope for some nice interesting portraits with a few characters...lucky enough I had my flashgun in the bag so all I can say is thank you guys, you provided me with some material for today!

Here are the shots:

Hisham - Handsome "son-a-gun"

Neo - Just Slick

Hung - Just Sharp

Alex - The Ace

Until next time,

Aaaaaaaaand The Viewfinder is back!!....

With new photos and photos from file and new gear.

I finally got my hands on the mean machine Fujifilm S3pro. I coupled to that the very useful Sigma 18-125mm DC lens. I found the lens to be sharp enough, for an everyday, consumer lens of such an extended range. Not a bad lens at all for the money, contrary of what a lot of the reviews will make you believe.

Here are the most recent street and random snappings.
