500mm city sidewalks

I was out in the city the other day with my 500 mm and found that shooting down a sidewalk with the 500 is one heck of an excellent choice. So much so that I think I'll make a day of it in the near future. Just sidewalks all day long.

#2 does it for me. Very nicely done

Just wondering what aperature these were shot at?

Fantastic!!

Wow you've really got something going here. 500mm really gives it a completely surreal feel to it.

Looking at these again, the dof is so nice it almost feels like TS :P

Love the kid with the cat...that just looks like a summer afternoon, to me

cool! really like #2.

500mm is so much fun!

I think it's the DoF combined with the extreme compression that really does it.

Cool idea and great results!

These old neighborhoods have plenty of growth down these sidewalks, sort of creates it's own vignette, wish the van at the end wasn't there, but each sidewalk has something different to offer, which makes it all the more interesting. Both shots were at f4. Thanks for the comments.

They look nice, but I'd be careful pointing that big lens down a footpath at a young girl... Somebody may well get the wrong idea!

Sorry,, they do nothing for me I'd rather see faces than backs of people.

I was visiting a friend and thats one of the neighbors kids, and they probably already have some of the pics. I certainly get your point though.
