Alone

Mirror, Mirror │ NEX-5N + Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* E24mm F1.8 ZA │ 24mm F1.8 1/500s ISO1600This is an indoor “street photograph” taken during the Christmas holidays in Bari, Italy. Don't ask me why I shot at ISO 1600; maybe it was the wine clouding my judgment.

I'm enjoying shooting at a 36mm (FF equivalent). If I could only have one prime lens, this would be the focal length. It's a very versatile; neither too wide nor too long. Taking photos on the street, it captures enough context with your subject to tell a story. Just imagine this photo in a cramped bar, without the surrounding paraphernalia or the reflection of her face.
