Nice images, Mike. I especially like the elevator image. I've not seen this approach before. Very cool.
Doesn't really need saying, but the portrait is lovely; beautiful subject.
I really like the picture of the arms. Very unusual, well done!
I just got an X100 a few days ago, and have been using it in a long-term project - pictures through the dirty windows of a train I take every day. The main thing I was concerned about was how it would do in manual, since there's no way it could attain exposure/focus/composition within the second or less that the scenes I'm after flash past the window.
Still learning, but so far it's doing great. Take a reading, set the aperture and shutter, focus near infinity, use the OVF so there's no (or hardly any) lag. I'm getting more keepers with the X100 than other cameras I'm using for this.
The vivid post-processing is me, not the Fuji - still working out the look I want for the final collection.
Jamie, Gary - thanks. It's actually the ACE train, from Stockton to San Jose. Same tracks as CalTrain. Interesting countryside - they're draining the salt ponds Morton uses to make salt, so there are many surreal colors from the varying levels of sodium. The tumbledown cabins are part of a town that existed 100 years ago in the marsh. Lots of bars and brothels.
I'll probably put up a thread fairly soon; it's quite the logistical project . . .
Blue skies in the UK?
I was at/near a bikers event and I can only assume the devil looks after his own 🙂I can only assume that you've done a very good job in Photoshop here...!! 😉🙂
