Rangefinder shooting in Dallas

12/22/2016

As some of you may know, I have a thing for unique cameras. About a year ago, I wrote a blog post on the Epson R-D1, the worlds first digital rangefinder camera released in 2004. I don't get the chance to use it as often as I'd like, but when a friend of mine asked me to do some street photography in Dallas, I knew which camera I was taking.

For those of you who don't remember, this camera is pretty ridiculous. 6 megapixels, limited ISO range, terrible dynamic range, 2 frame buffer, manual focus, manual shutter advance, etc... It seems like a pretty terrible camera. However, the experience of shooting one of these cameras is quite unique, as it feels and handles like a film camera. Even with all the "limitations", this camera still produces wonderful photos. Here are some of my favorites, all taken with the Voigtlander Super Wide-Heliar 15mm f/4.5 Aspherical on the Epson R-D1s. (One of these days, I'll write a full review on this amazing lens)

Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas. I really like the stone work.
We started in the arts district, which has some beautiful architecture, and the brick roads are so nice.

No vignetting added in post. All of the vignetting is from the Voigtlander 15mm.

Not sure why, but this sign amuses me. I also love the colors from this sensor. So rich, and the blues are fantastic.

It's really great that Dallas still has an operational cable car system. I haven't seen it very often, but I see where the tracks run.
After walking around for a while, we eventually made our way to Klyde Warren Park. It is a brilliant use of space, as the park is built on top of the freeway.

The Christmas lights are a nice touch.

Klyde Warren Park is a pretty cool place. The trees as the sun sets makes for some great photos.

Such a ridiculous tree. Everything is bigger in Texas.
That wraps up this post. (Get it? Like holiday wrapping paper?) Happy holidays everyone!
