Of course for street photography strictly, I still prefer longer focal lengths. I acknowledge the importance of all focal lengths and that each focal length.range has its own place. <br />I seldom use wide angle mainly because there is too many things to consider to make a good shot. Nonetheless when I need to, I will.

Your portraits are also very good, again as always!<br /><br />I see you are getting more comfortable with the wide-angle point of view. I think the more we photograph, the more we come to appreciate the way the wide-angle lets us create relationships among different elements of our picture, in a way that you cannot do with a normal or telephoto lens.<br /><br />As with all things in photography, it can be misused and/or overused, but when used properly, the wide-angle view adds a dimension to our photos that I think is missing otherwise.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Steve<br />seadrivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11209340139692564895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-84565824132494163552013-11-12T09:45:45.013+08:002013-11-12T09:45:45.013+08:00Wonderful memories indeed!

I could only imagine making the trip from Kuching to Miri, through Brunei, to KK--buses, bugs, bats and hopefully, some good food.Sakamoto Nobuyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698659558464819776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-82417609415684775622013-11-12T00:41:36.600+08:002013-11-12T00:41:36.600+08:00Great shots, as always.Great shots, as always.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868111404763780905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-73182087498057269772013-11-12T00:40:14.651+08:002013-11-12T00:40:14.651+08:00Great shots, as always.Great shots, as always.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868111404763780905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-54547661947315579292013-11-11T23:19:15.345+08:002013-11-11T23:19:15.345+08:00You've been very busy indeed - but great that ...You've been very busy indeed - but great that you found some time for shutter therapy. A lovely place indeed! Been there a couple of times on short stopover flights, which of course isn't sufficient to see it properly. Great that you enjoyed it too, and the pictures are -as usual- outstanding. I love the first and last ones, and of course the Robinesque portraits.

It's kinda cool to think while you're just finishing up shooting the sunset where you live, and probably getting ready to eat and review your shots of the day, I just wrapped up shooting the sunrise where I live and I'm probably sitting in a restaurant reviewing the shots I just took.<br /><br />Or at least that would be the case if I could wake up that early. It doesn't happen often. :)<br /><br />This looks like a really cool place to visit. When I get a chance I'll try to head over to one of the coastal towns near here (about a 3 hour drive from here) and photograph the area to share how it's different. Thanks for sharing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03661570560114477538noreply@blogger.com
