Last batch from recent Tokyo trip, I probably shot similar pictures over and over again during past trips but can't get enough of them, it just left such a lasting impression in me every single time...
Went or for a day to practice street portraits with my new SL3 in Little Italy yesterday. It is a wonderful people camera. Such a solid and elegant implementation of a perfect feature set for portrait photography. The files are just brilliant for shooting people. I only have the one Sigma 35mm f/2.0 SL AF lens at the moment, so these were all shot with that lens than ideal lens setup except the last one was shot MF with my 21mm SEM and the M to L adapter.
Feeling well enough to take the Trolley down to Little Italy. Every step in recovery is a miracle in my book that I am hugely grateful for these days.
Could tell these were yours before I saw who posted it.
Glad to see you’re out and about and shooting!

Thanks Adam, I am glad you enjoyed the images. Thanks also for the encouraging words on my recovery. Very much appreciated.
We are sharing images among friends here on FM. One of the great things about this is that we begin to know each other. This extends to our images. There are a number of friends here that I know it is their work just from seeing the images. That is a good thing. Then of course sometimes they surprise us. Also a good thing.

So, after two Months of being bed ridden recovering from surgery I was finally able to get out a hobble around Balboa Park for a couple of hours. It felt so good to be out in Sun and fresh air again. I took my D-Lux 8 with me because it is so small, lite, and easy to shoot. Still, I only managed to take about 5 frames.
This street portrait of an Irish Fiddler is my favorite from the outing. Nothing special, but I see it as a milestone nonetheless. The first image of the rest of my life. It feels good to be back. I missed you guys!
I hadn’t realised that you have had this surgery and after effects to contend with. So, if you’ll forgive a personal comment from someone you don’t really know, it’s good to see that you’re able to get out again. It’s always interesting to see your posts and photographs. Best wishes, I hope that your recovery continues apace.
