Last summer I got contact by a PBS station about doing a bit on my street work. It finally got edited and aired in my area last night, and will air statewide in Minnesota next week.

For everyone else, here is a link to it on my website, or directly on youtube. Some Fuji 6x9 Rangefinder action in the footage. Enjoy.
 
Wonderful photos and an entertaining video.

I assume you use flash on the Fuji 6x9 so that you can use a small enough aperture for increased depth of field ? They're not exactly easy to focus quickly !

I also thought you did really well with balancing the flash fill with the ambient light - It didn't look too "unnatural".

The bonus is that with those 2 Fuji's around your neck, i'm guessing no gym membership would ever be required (maybe the occasional visit to the chiropractor though) !
 
Outstanding ... and I love the glimpses of Duluth. I've never been there, but you live on the bestest lake in the world. :D

Not really, I use flash because I love the look of fill light in the day. Try to stay between f/8 & f/11. Everything being in focus bores me. :D

Then I'm even MORE impressed with your skill - f8 doesn't give you much leeway for focus being a bit off - and you seem to have a fair few "moving targets" in there ... I'm going to have to take mine out and actually PRACTISE I think, maybe even by trying to take actual photos, God Forbid !! :)
