I just loved the way you placed them in your second picture as well as I loved the others. Seems I have to contemplate on buying a DP1. Am a little reluctant though as I already have an 18 - 55 for ex1. great set Julian. How do you find the little thing.
I've only as yet taken these photos with it , so still learning. I say learning as it is a wider focal length than I am used to. I Have the EF 17-40, but never really got used to it, physically let alone optically. For these types of shots the DP1 is an ideal focal length though. Plus the files are easily cropped with plenty of information. Personally out of all three of the DP Merrills I am finding it the hardest. My style of image is to isolate, more often than not and fill the frame. I am having to learn better composition. Learn to fill the frame with something meaningful. I did go out just to use this one camera this morning, I will in the future have the three and choose the camera for the subject.
The files are slightly different, I think the B+W of the DP2 and DP3 easier, maybe it is the lens. The Dp3 B+W are gorgeous, especially portraits, more like the DP2. Truth is I enjoy the DP2 the most at the moment, probably as it is 45 mm equivalent, the camera is also more compact than the DP3.
If I chose one, it would be all of them
Well I set out to acquire all three after trying out the DP3 , as I am in love not with the camera as such but with over coming the challenges that the camera provides, it is not as predictable as all the other camera's I have. But then I am as much into playing with accidents of light rather than control, as anything else. I'd probably love a Holga
