Street Photography

First street shot of the year: leaving it behind :)


And that’s how fast it went, off we go into 2014, happy shooting everybody!

Shot with the Fuji X-E2 and the Fuji Xf pancake 27mm 2.8.
Adorama, Fuji X-E2 and Pancake.
Good deals on the X-E2 here on Ebay and even better deals for the 27mm pancake.
Looks like this little pancake and the XF18mm will be my street lenses of choice for 2014!

Snapshot of the day: Silent Prayer: street shooting with the Sony RX10

I spotted this beautiful stranger waiting in front of the Washington Square Arch-after dark
ISO 1000 @2.8

My first RX10 was doa, and I had written it off until I saw this crazy deal at Adorama (still a few left at $937)
Primary use will be shooting video, however, I really enjoyed using the RX100 during my Paris trip and took it out for a quick spin today. Too early to draw conclusions but I really liked shooting with it, a totally different experience when compared to a pure street camera set up like the Fuji X E2 with a small prime or even the RX100II. The Zeiss zoom is massive and it feels more like a small DSLR. Not necessary a bad thing. The RX10 focuses pretty fast in good light, controls are easily accessible, the shutter release button feels much better than on the Sony A7/r. The quality of this lens is outstanding already wide open, the only nuisance was the slow by wire zoom. This will be a plus during video shoots, however, when shooting stills, it can get in your way. I will have to take it out a few more times but it appears to be the perfect compact fusion camera. I will keep posting my impressions shooting with this thing :)
