Street Photography With The Fujifilm X100F in Madrid

Last week I spent a couple of days in Europe to meet my wife and youngest daughter during my first leave after starting my assignment to South Africa in March this year.

True to my original plan, I took the trinity with me with the intent to shoot some street photography in Madrid and The Hague. Although I have not processed all digital images yet, and I still need to send the film rolls to the lab, I already want to share two images to show what the X100F is capable of.

From a shooting perspective, it is interesting that the Leica M4 saw most use. My wife brought the Voigtlander VC II light meter from home, which made defining aperture and shutter speed very easy without having to rely on the sunny 16 rule.

The Fujifilm X100F was, according to plan, used during night time while I did not use the Fujifilm X-Pro1 at all. Maybe I am more comfortable with the 35mm (full-frame equivalent) focal length than I thought?

Anyhow, below are two first impressions from the shots with the X100F. Bot images have been converted to black and white in ON1: although I have in-camera black and white jpegs the Acros + Red Filter setting was too contrasty. I probably need to change my settings if I am going to use the X100F more for night scenes.

I will share more images of this trip soon!
