\"Paris<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Paris reflection. Quartier du Marrais, 2010-08-28, some time in the morning, probably around 3 or 4 PM after a rough night of partying.<\/p>\n

So, you may have noticed different kind of pictures on this blog lately. No exif, grainy black and white pictures. As a matter of fact, during one of those short week-ends at my parents, I found my dad’s first camera: a venerable Pentax ME Super<\/a> with a 35mm f2.8 and 50-150mm f4 zoom. So far, I’ve used this 35mm only. What can I say? The thing is small, much more discrete, compact and lightweight than my bloated 7D\/17-55mm f2.8 combo. Better than that, I look like an old-fashioned tourist running on a budget rather than I have something to compensate. Sure, it doesn’t feature all the modern electronic goodness: ISO is fixed until the end of the film, I cannot zoom, I can’t count on a fast autofocus system. <\/p>\n

But this is maybe something I’ve been relying on too much? I already knew zooms make me lazy, but having to carefully chose a f number and then focusing slowly until I see the picture appearing in the viewfinder is a totally new story for me. All in all, I find this approach more relaxing. I need to be careful as every pic is “definitive”. No “chimping” (looking at the back of the camera body to see the just-shot picture), I discover with a little thrill the result two or three days later. <\/p>\n

So, sure, I won’t give up my 7D. It’s a great and steady camera, well built and produces great images (well, I hope you enjoyed the ones I’ve been posting so far \ud83d\ude09 ) and I have lots of fun with it (remember, this is what it’s all about). But right now, I feel like playing with this old camera. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1655,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,7,14,39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1654","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-argentic","category-black-white","category-paris","category-street","post_format-post-format-image"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1654","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1654"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1654\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1656,"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1654\/revisions\/1656"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierre.bodilis.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
