Chinatown

Chinatown In Black and White

I spent, most of, the day walking around Chinatown.  There's no place like it. It's become my go-to shooting location in NYC. I started out with a 25mm on my Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II, but quickly switched to a 75mm. It allowed me to get a little bit closer to the subjects, without being intrusive. 

A little too much headroom, but it's my favorite shot of the day.

It's not in focus, but I'm a big fan of this image. I took it, while I was walking.

This subject in the foreground is intentionally out of focus. I was actually hoping for more blur.

I've given up using Lr and Ps for street photography. I'm importing the images directly to my iPhone and editing them with Snapseed. Once in Snapseed, I'm applying a dark/contrast black and white filter ad +20 grain. I, may, adjust the brightness, but that's it for post-processing. If only the E-M5 Mark II had the PEN-F's Monochrome Profile 2, I would be able to do everying in-camera.
