Bruce Gilden with a X100

[papo]

I just saw this piece and was surprised to see him with a x100 (around the 4:23 mark)

I wonder how Leica heads feel about this.😀

I'd like to find this same video in English.

Those grab street shots look quite good enlarged hanging on a wall. Actually much better than I would have thought.

It's kind of surprising he would switch to the X100 with the 35mm. Gilden has always been a 28mm shooter. Must be nice though to not worry about changing film in the street and the higher ISO capability.

This was produced for a french TV Station ARTE who also broadcasts it in german and french only (to my knowledge).

I peeked to see if maybe he had the 28mm converter on it, nope.

A couple of years back I sold my early X100.

Recently I began using a X100T

Now the AF (even with the OVF) is fast enough to keep up with Gilden.

But the flash won't cut it!

(I wonder if Gilden shoot raw?)

 

[MCTuomey]

yes, gilden is fun to watch ... replayed "Everybody Street" a few days ago and giggled my way through his cuts: shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, BAM, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, BAM ...

 

[jsrockit]

He probably uses a bunch of stuff.

 

[kshapero]

Well he has taken a simple technique and made it into an art form.

Leica has not released a Bruce Gilden edition Leica so I don't think they're a fan of Gilden and want to be associated with him.

He was in the first issue of Leica M magazine, so...

gilden is a trip. i. just. cannot. look. away ...

 

[David_Manning]

I'd think he'd be shooting hyperfocally or at least in manual focus with a preset distance...just like his non-AF Leicas. You can dumb it down to a basic camera. I'm sure he's enjoying the workflow speed (or, his assistants are, anyway).

 

[daveleo]

Good that he uses a black camera - less conspicuous.

i couldnt tell, is it the original x100?

 

[cidereye]

Click ... "Merci, pardon ..." walk onwards. Love it! 😀

You know what, though it is possible he owns the X100 as a personal digital camera, it is very very likely that he didn't bring a camera on the trip and they wanted to get a few shots of him walking around shooting so the producer or something gave him his X100.

I work in TV - we would do **** like that.

You are likely right.

We all know Gliden is passive, malleable and cooperative.He would do anything to make a TV producer happy. It would be very typical for a Magnum phtographer to go on a trip and not bring a camera along.

is there something I'm missing? How would a photographer go on a trip and not bring a camera?
