Bought a new compact camera. Ricoh GX200. Wide angle (24mm), raw. Street photography couldn't be more fun - I see and unseen.
This is one of the first photos taken with the new camera.

אילן! אתה עדיין פה -נראה לי שלא ראיתי משהו ממך כבר הרבה זמן :)
This looks like a "money shot" - you might get offers to be hired as a private detective now :) And I'll be careful what I get up to on the streets.
It's full of your usual sense of humour and playfulness, congrats on the new camera.

Ooooooooooooooooh :-) Fantastic capture! The man and girl look very happy. They are very nicely lit while the background is very dark but you still see some nice details => great job.
Mindy says:
Awesome shot. As already noted, stop sign makes this really funny. Wonderfully framed and lit.
Ivar says:
Great night shot, the stop sign gets a second meaning here ;) Very cool

I'd like to have a good compact. Good ones are hard to find.
Great shot. Has that "don't you dare stop" feel to it, haha.

Giovanni says:
Voyeur! ;-)
Very well spotted and captured!
k@ says:
Hehe, you were hidden a lil' hole ? :) Hot pic ! Love the darkness & bright light
elaine says:
Lol, hidden behind a small camera.. you might become the new 007 of the streets :)
Phototherapy says:
Hopefully you translated the signal :)
Brilliant street shot, so well composed.
It's funny, because it seems to be taken with the flash, with the reflection in the window.
I like the rythme of the windows in the background, too.
Could be interesting in b_w, too.

Great moment to capture. I don't have a compact anymore since my son lost it on a school trip, I miss it for some things and it had a great macro on it too! Such is life ;O)
Andy says:
Congrats on your new camera! I bet it will be great for street photography! Really nice candid moment you captured here.
emillamola says:
Que maravilla de camara,verdad? Yo tengo la GX-100 y estoy muy contento con ella. (El unico problema es el ruido).
La foto esta muy bien capturada. El momento oportuno. Perfecto.
SP says:
Thanks for dropping by Art of the City and leaving kind words, much appreciated. Looks like you're having fun with your new camera and some stunning pics on here - I will add a link to your site tomorrow when I have time too
Terry H. says:
HA! It looks like something from the TV show Cheaters. I expect to see a camera crew run up there at any time. I have been looking for a good stalking camera. Looks like the GX200 might be the thing. :) Cool shot as always!!
Beat says:

lgb says:
Excellent street shot! Beautiful the lighting into the couple!
Turnbill says:
Great candid shot. The lighting on the couple and all the other little lights that surround them in the background give a nice effect.
navin says:
Well, I hope they didn't chase you after you took this shot
Franck says:
A decisive moment !
Is it your flash that we see in the mirror ?
WABIKOJA says:
Very nicely done. Great composition, framing and detail.

Tricia says:
hehehe! You left a comment on my page asking what's sitting in the middle of my waterfall - It's Chihuly blown glass at Shaw's Garden in St Louis, Missouri. Thank you for asking too - I appreciate your inquiry!
jelb says:
Bonsoir,
Great lighting..Beautiful composition..Congratulation to you for Ricoch GX200..bravo!
Geir says:
And these people consented of course ;-).
Very stylish image.
daina says:
Oh how sweet it is! All those ambiguous squares and rectangles and then this saucy couple and everything else becomes background. Great shot!
T and S says:
Magical light on this one Ilan. It looks like taken in a studio with controlled lights when it acutally isn't. WOW.
Michele says:
perfect lighting.
Darietto says:
I've never though that a compact camera could be so good... :) Joking apart... i would like to know if they were conscious about you and your camera :)
Anyway, great shot! Love also the texture of the night shooting!
Andy Rogers says:
Yeah..Really great street shot! You seemed to be having more fun with the new camera..and by the way,I love all your shots too! Kudos!
z-vet says:
Nice shot! Congrats, Ricoh is a nice brand, i had one in film days and loved it very much.
Sometimes i feel like getting a compact camera: my D80 attracts too much attention which is not always good. I think about Lumix...
Sakshi says:
Wow am a first time here and I am bowled over by your pics. I got myself a camera a few months back and since then trying to capture things in every angle my body would let me...I guess will get to learn a lot from your pics..Let me add you to my blogroll so that I don't miss any of ur shots!!!
GJC says:
Congrats on the new camera. Isn't that fun? Let's hope both of these people are single! :) Anyway, I look forward to more from your new camera.
Joaquin Arias says:

Ståle says:
Is that your flash going off in the reflection of the window?
This really is a lovely shot. Just at the right moment and place, you sneak :-)
Love the mood and the way you've used the colours in this shot. Red and blue really stand out. Magnificent shot!
Picture machines says:
Seems like you new Ricoh GX200 is working perfect in a team with you. Congratulations.
david says:

I like the way the couple are lit up. Nice street shot.

Great street shot! I have a Ricoh GX200 myself but I'm not using it quite enough. You make me feel I should do some more of that...
Amir says:
Thanks a lot for leaving comment on my blog. You have a wondeful photoblog
Ronnie 2¢ says:
I have a GX100 which is a 'slow' version of the '200 and it is great for these 'candid' shots. Hope you will enjoy this little camera as much as I do.
Omar says:
A great picture, a lot of atmosphere and feeling
marco's light opinion says:
Uh! I recently bought a lumix lx3, 24mm wide too, I actually know what you mean!
