Würzburg The Streets
With any European city there is always ample time to devote to street photography. There is so many people, and so many interesting things happening, that it’s not hard to catch interesting images. Most people don’t really care about being photographed, as there are so many tourists with cameras, that it’s a normal occurrence. Having a small kit comprised of only Fuji cameras this makes it easier, as I didn’t stand out from the crowd with a little camera.

This was a perfect time to try out the Fuji XT1 and 56mm f1.2. I had a variable ND filter on the lens, so I could shoot wide open in the bright sunlight. Focusing was fast, but not always accurate. Don’t know why, but the lens sometimes completely missed it’s mark. It wasn’t very frequent, but enough that it got a little annoying. Of course the X100s wasn’t neglected. It’s stealth proved to be quite helpful in capturing some interesting images. Enjoy!
Hey Mac, Love the street shots. That last image here is special!

Thanks Dominick… I really like the last image for some reason 🙂
This last picture reminds me of one of my favourites quotes by Saramago – “interrogating the silence and listening to the only answer silence ever gives” very nice shot.
