Fujifilm X100V - Images

Mike,
When I view your pictures, I feel like I have been on an exotic vacation in Japan. Please keep posting.

Thank you, Alfasud, here are a few pictures I took the day before yesterday at Miyajima Island just off the coast of Hiroshima.

You have to take a ferry to get to the island.

she is a vendor at the local farmer's market...I was talking to her and then asked if I could take a photo of her explaining that I liked her 'look'...the head scarf plus the face mask triggered me... reminding me how much I hate masks and this damn pandemic...

Misasa Onsen (Hot Spring)

Misasa Onsen is a beautiful little town in Tottori prefecture, Japan. We spent the night here and in the morning we went out for a walk around the town.

A bridge over the Mitoku River.

The Mitoku river runs through the middle of the town.

On the side of the river is the famous Kawara-buro public bath. It was used in the movie "Themae Romae".

A different view of Kawara-buro. This bath is in plain view of anyone crossing the bridge and it is usually full of people.

The roads are narrow and interesting. A town that was established before cars were invented.

Hot spring water runs freely 24/7 in the center of town. It fills a foot bath that is open for all to enjoy.

Absolutely love your captures, Mike! How do you like the V so far as to low light and high iso captures? I ended up selling the X100F in favour of the RX1Rii (different concepts, I know) mainly for how much better the RX1Rii renders low light (same as the A7Rii basically). But usability wise the X100 series to me is hard to beat.
