the other day I was out at the Fisherman's Wharf in Taipei, a favorite evening spot.
Like usually I carried the SEL18-55 kit lens ( and a f1.4/40 Pen-F lens ) for my NEX5N but no tripod, fortunately there was a wall to rest the camera on


to my surprise soon many favs and comments put in on #1 spot at "explore" ( for July 23rd ) which makes it my 'most successful photo' at flickr. It must be the scene with it's colors, the lens did a good job too because after just having done handhelds after setting it up for a self exp. shot I had forgotten to stop it down Embarassed

best greetings from Taipei,
Andreas

That looks like a fine shot Andreas!
Congrats on the explore Smile
Idk abt the 5N but the nex7 + 18-55 combo took pictures in the middle of the night, in a jungle with absolutely no other sources of light
Sadly, the f3.5 brought out the worst of too many megapixels + 12,800 ISO
But hey, atleast I got the shot!
Newayz, do you have any experience with the tamron zoom for nex?

thank's Hari
I really dig the high ISO performance of modern digital camera, it opens up a new world of handheld night shots

nope, no experience with any other E mount lens but the SEL18-55 and SEL16

cheers,
andreas

thank you very much poilu, Klaus, Attila and Bill.

right, it's the subject.
Every Taiwanese seem to have a camera and that evening there were many with big gear, tripods and all doing their trick or snapping themselves with their handphones. Usually I rather don't take yet another photo of a motive of which there must be 1000s around, it's just another one more and there must be many better ones too, surprising that it made the #1 spot on explore.

best greetings from Taiwan,
Andreas

It's about...

... the eye of the photographer
... the right subject
... the right light

and then about the gear.

Congrats, Andreas!

+1 on Attila's comment! This could have been taken with the most lowly rated lens, and
it would still be the same shot that comes out of the "eye" of the photographer. The person
who is using the tool, no matter how it performs, is responsible for getting the picture. And,
you CERTAINLY got the picture!

yes Teo, magic hour, and who cares the lens Wink

but I should say that the SEL18-55 is surprisingly good, well, sometimes looks a bit flat, but sharpness is good

It's a nice photo but I just took through your photostream and there are plenty of much better images there.

haha, thank you Yebisu, very kind of you. This photo turned out pleasant, it's ok, but it's not "my kind" of photo at all! There are plenty others which I prefer, may I simply say because of "more soul", and I hope that more photographers than you and me feel so too Wink

I upload many photos and I have learned a lot by the reactions to them, specially at the popular, social platform that flickr is Wink
