The Fuji X100s made me think about the possibilities and the advantages over bulky dslr-s and I have decided to give it a try myself. I fortunately have a good friend, Lucas, who very kindly offered his copy to me to take it for a test walk in the town. I didn’t have much time, I left home late and it became dark in half an hour, so it turned out to be a night street photography experience.
The Fuji is very well thought out, it is closer to my ideal camera than dslr-s, that are more of a computers than the simple box with a piece of glass in the front, which I prefer. I don’t need much things on a camera, if it has a shutter button and a shutter speed dial on the body, an aperture ring and a focus ring on the lens, that will do it for me. Without going into details, I post some images from tonight. Let me know what you think about the photos.
A few samples from the Fuji x100s
In several photos there is a whisp of light flowing through the frame. How do you do that? Otherwise I very much like the focus off the people and on an object. Nice touch.
Thanks Mike. I am honestly not sure. My guess is that, as it was raining, the lens must have water drops on it which caused the effect.
