4th Avenue Tucson, Az. Finally Found The Project

Went out for the first time with the Sony RX1. Great little camera but did not give it much of a workout. I’ve spent a lot of time on 4th Ave looking for a project. And then it dawned on me today that 4th Ave IS the project. How did I miss this. I need to get back there and start photographing the street life, not just the characters that I have run into every day. The characters are a whole other topic!!

Looking for the street shot with the street people. Shooting with a Leica M9 and 50MM lens. Normally use a wide angle 35MM. There is a difference. I do like the 35MM and it’s depth of field. I had to compose more carefully with the 50MM.

Shot with Sony Nex 6 all day long. The camera performed well and the dynamic range seems pretty good. Stayed away from the obvious street vendors and looked for original people,,and they were there!

Pulled out the Leica M9 used hyper-focal technique to get some decent shots. Too bad I didn’t stop the big guy here for a street photo. Maybe he was too big!! Adjusting for the high contrast is a problem. I’m going to start shooting later with a smaller f stop.

Brought out the Sony Nex 6 to do a few shots. Worked on street candids and “pedal power”. The day was moderately successful with one or two keepers. Hot day generally uneventful.

Finally started the Arizona mining town project. Using the Leica M9 and the Zeiss Ikon, began to photograph some really run down structures in these two towns.
I have been thinking about this project for many years and have finally gotten started. Many of these towns are heavily dilapidated. I need to go for the grainy, old look. With many mining towns in AZ in would imagine this project will take several years. First I need to understand  the character of he town then adequately photographing it.
Used Delta 3200 @ ISO 1600 to get that old look in the photos.
