Random street photos taken so far.

Hello viewers!

Here are some of my attempts at street photography.

My recent pictures have been taken with a Fujifilm X100 and I found that the image quality was quite good; on par or better than some DSLRs. The large sensor (for a compact), quality lens, and noise performance that was all in a relatively compact metal body convinced me to trade my DSLR for it. Since it is so portable, I often carry my camera around when I'm walking around the city.

As I have said, I havn't been comfortable taking pictures of people and I still feel this way. I have been trying to come out of my shell with this camera as it is so discrete and not as intimidating as an DSLR (There is hardly any shutter sound!).

I often look at things and thought, "That could have been a nice shot," and
walk on. This time I turned back and got this shot.

Some interesting murals under the overpass.

Shot from the hip. Following people across the road.

A clock tower that chimes at odd times.

 















Trying to shoot from the hip was bit of a challenge as you can't really see what you're taking or focusing on. I se my camera to a high ISO and an aperture around f/9 to f/11 to hopefully get a decent image.

Just finished 3 hours of Judo training. As
I was walking home, the illuminations on the
buildings caught my eye.

At the casino, on my way to uni.

You can probably tell by now that I take a lot of pictures of buildings.

People waiting at a tram stop. 

One of the drawbacks of the X100 is its fixed lens meaning that you have to zoom using your legs.

I passed this building a couple of times on the way to uni.
I wish I could have framed this picture a bit better.
I'll try next time.

Old looking chemist place.

I don't know when my next post will be as I have exams soon. I'm not sure I will have time to take new pics but we'll see.
