I was looking through some photos taken with the GRIII and came across a set of photographs I shot in and around London's 'famous' Petticoat Lane market after dark last December, when the market was closing up. The quality of what the GRIII is able to capture never fails to impress me. Most of these photos were taken at f3.5-4 and at speeds of 1/30-50 (not sure if I had IBIS on but as the GRIII uses a leaf shutter, I often don't bother). ISOs range from 1600-6400 and all photos are processed in DxOPureRAW to remove noise. Looking at the EXIFs I was using the lens as is and not with the wide angle adapter which I often do. My wish for Ricoh/Pentax is to bring out a further camera, e.g. one with 21mm equivalent lens and a WA adapter. Description with each photo.
Petticoat Lane, or to give it its correct name, Wentworth Street, has undergone a lot of changes with new builds as can be seen on the left hand side of the photograph.
Typical end of the market day with traders loading up their vans with their stock as they break down their stalls.
Toynbee Street, which intersects with Wentworth Street.
Across the road from Wentworth Street is Gunthorpe Street which still has its original Victorian cobbled surface.
A pub on the corner of Wentworth Street and Brick Lane in Spitalfields
The entrance to Brick Lane which is promoted as 'Banglatown' where there are many Bangladeshi Indian restaurants. Actually if anyone wants a really good and authentic Indian meal in the area PM me and I'll recommend where to go.
This is a bit of a personal favourite. The only remaining 1930s built London Fire Brigade Station still in operation, on Commercial Road in Whitechapel.
