ich bin ein berliner
photos of people (and animals) seen on the streets of berlin. in general i don’t take that many “people photos” but it has become a bit easier for me now to overcome my shyness about taking pictures of people in the street as the new lens is a 50 mm it brings you closer to the object so to speak. it’s a canon ef 50mm 1.8 II lens and it’s very light and compact compared to my old lens. i have read though that allthough you get good quality for money it is not a very durable lens (plastic) and that it breaks easily..for my part it was mostly a money issue and that’s why i picked a rather cheap lens. more photos to come tomorrow.

- rynke: thanks rynke! i like the red in them as well, but as NE mentioned the first one doesn’t look much like berlin : ). i had to seek cover during one of the heavy showers of rain and went into an asian supermarket. the lens is called canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
- ne: you are so right, doesn’t look like berlin ; )

Jeg ville også have købt sådan et objektiv hvis jeg ikke havde fundet mit f/1.4 Pentax. Det er ret smart, og man kan spare en masse penge ved at købe sådan en adapter ring. Det fungerer virkelig godt, selvom mit objektiv er manuelt og kameraet er automatisk. Men når man lige har øvet sig lidt går det fint.
Anyway, hovedsagen var jo at det er rigtig nok at det er et helt fint objektiv til pengene :) Tillykke med det!

i hear only good things about that lens. i was tempted to get one myself, too, but i have 30mm (though it’s HEAVY) so opted not to in the end. your photos with the lens look great.

Yeay, nice photos! I wonder what’s going on in the last photo…with all the paper hanging there? Looks exciting!

I love the first and last photo! they are both sort of curving and look so dynamic! Looks like you had a nice trip!

I have such dear memories of the time I spent briefly (very briefly) in Berlin… than you for the photographic reminder.

thanks for the tour, Berlin is wonderful :)

oh i’m so envious you’ve been in berlin :)
i have that same lens, i love that it is so light to carry around, hardly ever use any other lenses just because i’ve been spoiled. hope you’re having fun with yours!

ny design på bloggen - snyggt! vet du, vi gick också förbi den affären som är på fjärde bilden! :-) jag har ett kort på den oranga leksakshunden som satt på en stol - den som man skymtar på ditt foto, bredvid stop-skylten :-)
