Cardiff Streets

Since I’m back from my trip around Italy and it’s been a while since I’ve out any on here i thought I’d get back to sharing some of the street photography I’ve taken in the past, this is all shot on my Olympus OM-1 on Lomography Lady Grey 400 film.

STREET PHOTOGRAPHY – CARDIFF STREETS 23

Well it’s been sometime since we did a street photography on film post so I thought it was about time we did again. Welcome to Cardiff Streets episode 23, all images are taken with my Olympus OM-1, F.zuiko 50mm 1:1.8 lens and on Lomo Lady Grey monochrome film.

Street Photography – Olympus OM-D EM-5; 85

Here’s another selection of street photography images taken recently (well January) around Cardiff with my Olympus OM-D EM-5. Enjoy

P1010046.jpg 25mm, ISO 400 f4, 1/60th sec. Saw this bicycle left outside this building and liked the way it was almost framed within the arched window it had been placed up against.

P1010047.jpg  25mm, ISO 400, f4, 1/1000th sec. If there’s one thing I love taking images of it’s interesting shadows and repetitive patterns, here’s both. A pattern of shadows from the fencing outside of the shot to the left casting itself repetitively along the pavement and at intervals along the road as well.

P1010048.jpg 25mm, ISO 400, f4, 1/500th sec. This guy didn’t want me to take his picture I guess. If you didn’t, then why step into the light area along the stairway and make yourself stand out so much against the shadow that follows you curving down?

three.jpg 25mm, ISO 250, f4, 1/2000th sec. Saw these two people stood around reading a map and the whole sense of scale of them and the castle walls behind meant I stood on the apposite side of the road taking images of them in between the passing traffic that blocked them intermittently from view. They just so happened to be stood in a patch of light that lit them up as well, emanating from the side of the road I was stood on.

two.jpg 25mm, ISO 250, f4, 1/2500th sec. Annoyingly this was taken just after these two guys had turned around and started walking, I like the shadow casting across the one guys back almost like an arm over his shoulder.

Incoming Tide

I’ve been visiting some friends in Cornwall for the last week, hence the lack of updates on this blog, one of which happens to be a photographer. We went out whenever we could to take photos, weather permitting, and this is one from one of the times we did get out.
