It was really great live show performed by Hauschka. Just have some regrets that I was so shy and didn't shoot more. Hauschka after the concert by crunch_tone, on Flickr Hauschka live at Erarta (15 May 2015) by crunch_tone, on Flickr

XF18mm really nice small lens. There is some softness in corners because of software correction. And some aperture abberations without it. But anyway it's really nice lens, when you know its issues and use its advantages in right way. Rooms by crunch_tone, on Flickr

Thanks! That was the main idea But it was the second idea, at first I saw to shadow from right side and it looked like rhino

I'd like to share some shots taken by me. I live in Saint-Petersburg and sometimes go for a trip to Karelia. So there are some night photos from my last trip to the northern part of this region.

Great post by the f/otographer about choosing right gear for yourself. Once I read article that was written by famous photographer, there was tips for beginners about choosing photo gear, starting photo practice and improving skills. And the best idea from this article was "you need only gear that arouse you to taking photos". Ok, some people like their toprated fullframe bodies with actual super fast autofocus lens, some people like their rangefinder cameras with oldschool manual lens, and some people need only iPhone to deliver current mood into the photo etc. The main idea in photo should be mood, feelings, and doesnt't matter that technical tools you use. Once I decide to sell my kit 18-55 and take some manual fix lens instead of it. It was deliberate limiting of my technical capabilities. Of course I think that Fuji XF are the great lens, but they cost a lot, and I really like oldschool smell of manual lens. It's like some kind of game with your gear. So, I really love my manual focus lens.
