More Atlanta - High Museum of Art

I met up with friends and students from Valdosta State on their field trip to the High Museum of Art last week. We saw the exhibit on Walker Evans, which was a wonderful experience.

While there I of course brought a camera - my favorite small 35mm lately, the Bessa L. This time I slapped a Nikon F adapter onto it and one of the most fun lenses I have - an 8mm f/2.8 circular fisheye. This lens is just a trip and makes really unique images. I try not to overuse it, but inside the museum it was pretty cool:

Now of course I can't view TTL with the Bessa, so I have a little viewfinder I bought online that's basically a peephole from a door to estimate the photo. This lens is easier to use on one of my F-mount SLRs, like my favorite F2, but that camera is much bigger/heavier, and I also wanted to bring a couple other lenses in my pocket, which is impossible with larger SLR lenses without a bag of some sort which I didn't want. But it worked pretty well.

The other lens I used was of course my favorite Voigtlander 15mm f/4.5, which is tiny and really good. Here's the rest of the photos taken while walking around midtown:

 

 

 

I also couldn't resist taking my last few images in the MARTA station:

That's all for this trip to Atlanta.
