They look awesome its the sort of feel I want to try and get, what camera/lens were these shot on?

Sony nex5n with a leica 50mm 1.5 summarit

Been out with the NEX 5n and the Leica 50 f1:1.5 again?!

What a wonderfully evocative series Hamish. I'm glad you didn't take these yesterday though, I was fed up enough already!

The low contrast suits these a treat. I like them all but the cameras and decayed building stand out. However. my absolute favourite is the shot of the birds on the wire. Bleak and blurry! - although I am 'warming' to the fence.

I guessed right then!

Mind, it wasn't difficult!

The fence for me...where's the focus? I like it a lot. Keeps me looking.

 

[Pete Askew]

It does doesn't it and I have come back to that a couple of times now and I think I have changed my mind.

 

[Hamish Gill]

It's funny how a single lens can almost rewrite my personal rules
So yes Pete, def the summarit still and the nex5n is a joy to use!!

Anyway, thanks all, my fave is the birds ... I nearly didn't include the fence, but the oddness of it made me keep it

The birds for me. Lovely shot with charming oof.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Thanks Brian

For me it's the building-side with the 2 large windows, I think it looks the most desolate. It looks like a place people have forgot for quite some time.

3rd with the window is quite spooky i dont know why. Birds on a fence it will come to me why its special, i think it has a lot to do with the intentional slightly out of focus and the black leaves which give an air of disquiet.

it's those speed ramps, they'll get you every time... definitely has a creepy halloween vibe to it.
