A Walk Around Leeds
 |
| Red |
Today I went for a walk around Leeds with the Samsung DSLR. It felt strange at first. For weeks I've been carrying the Leica M2 with the strap wrapped around my wrist and a light meter in my pocket - and nothing else. Now I was packing around a camera bag with a telezoom and the M2 as a safety blanket. Funny that, there was a time when shooting with a handheld meter would have felt risky and an automatic camera would have been the safety blanket. As always when starting something new I felt a little flutter in my stomach, a frisson of fear and excitement which settles down after the first couple of frames.

| Shadow and Reflection |
At this time of year the low sun reflects off the facades of these new metal and glass buildings and beams bounce around from building to building.
After using a 35mm lens and manual focus for so long it's a refreshing novelty to come back to a zoom lens and autofocus. I have to say the GX10 performed well, for all my complaints about it in poor light, the kit zooms (18-55 and 55-200) focussed quickly and positively.

The kit zooms are surprisingly sharp, used a couple of stops down and a high contrast subject like this railway bridge wall shows them at their best.

Black and white conversions tomorrow, with a bit of luck.
