Hi Steve, I’m lucky to travel a little with work, I recently moved from a Sony A900 to an RX1 (love it) and happened to be in Montreal for a few hours between flights, thought it could make an interesting article as it’s quite a diverse set showing what the RX1 can do, few samples below and lots more on my flick page including others with a Sigma DP2M & Nex 5 & 7

the third photo leaves me breathless
First time I have ever, ever been prompted to leave a comment on a site such as this. Whilst I can admire the technique in a lot of photos on daily inspiration, these go far far beyond that to my eye. I think they are utterly beautiful.
I just love all five photos of yours. Thank you.
I also like picture four very much, but the are all very good.
Very good work!
Is the woman using a flash? It looks like the light comes from the desk!
Would like to give us a comment on your post-processing? Are you using different layers to “paint” some objects in your pictures?
the woman at the desk is sublime, great work.
#4 made me think of Joel Coen’s “Barton Fink.”

Love the panorama with the red sign, a classic!
Great images Shane!
I really like the lines and angles in the 3rd shot – nicely seen!
Number 2 is my favourite for sheer atmosphere. (Perhaps a minimal relieving of the shadows and a minimal increase in definition? – really very little in both cases.) And numer 3 is a fascinating almost abstract composition with lines and also tones.
Really like the light and composition in images #2 & 4, especially #4! Great shadow detail to complete the composition…
I have to agree about #2 and especially #4. #4 is good story telling.
Wow. Beautiful photographs! I have ordered an RX1R and look forward to receiving it in the next few weeks. Your works are an inspiration.
Wow! I recognize those places, I work there. Each time I see excellent pictures like these I am tempted more and more by that camera.
Whatever the camera, you got the eye for excellent pictures!
Nice photo’s, Shane!
