Photo Walk DTLA

July 21, 2023

Another photo walk in downtown Los Angeles. This time I took an old Hasselblad 50mm f4 medium format lens and and Pentax 67 165mm lens. When I walk around, I feel more comfortable with a wider lens than something longer like the 165mm. I’m figuring out how to frame shots with the longer lens, in the moment. With this set of photos, even more than previously, I played around with cropping and found that it really helped to bring out a more compelling story. A longer lens could help me get some of that in camera, but in the moment, it is so much easier to get all the compositional elements in a nice wide shot, which gives me more to work with. This is a big part of what I am doing with these photo walks, is to see what I can capture in the moment, and then create from that in post to complete some images of fleeting captured moments.
