Yesterday’s photo was a hint that the Cosplay crowd are back in town; a sub-culture of harmless strangeness which congregated in a local mall yesterday for much giggling and prancing about.
There were several photographers there and I was approached by a young man with an “Olympus Club” T-shirt, a wide grin and an E-M5. We proceeded to wax lyrical about our cameras and commandeered a convenient table to compare lens collections. He had the Panasonic 35-100mm which looked like a sexy piece of kit. In response I flourished my 75mm and then proceeded to use it to take most of the shots below. Shit, low light; so mostly shot wide open at F1.8 with the image stabiliser allowing me to go as low as 1/25th second.

2013-06-10| Bob James saysSome great shots here. The little girl in the shot above the green-haired woman is adorable. Loved yeserday’s B&W too. Sadly, I get too few chances to use the 75mm for what it can do.
2013-06-10| Kevin Moore saysHave to agree, looks like a fun shoot. Despite the low / poor light I’m well impressed with the colours and once again the 75mm simply shines.
2013-06-10| Billy saysLovely photos, all your errrrrmmmm, thingummyjigs, seem to be working
2013-06-12| John saysLovely pin sharp shots. That 75mm is a wonderful lens. Wide open at f1.8 and 1/25th handheld with a lens equivalent to 150mm focal length is truly remarkable. Long live prime lenses!!
