Hello.
Yesterday I was out taking pictures in the streets of my hometown and heard of an explosion in a scuba diving shop nearby, so I ran to the scene to take pictures with my X100.
I thought it's worth a post, since it was raining and I wasn't sure if the X100 could handle it, but it did and it was worth the risk.

Glad to hear the X100 handled the rain okay.
You can tell the camera is challenged by reach, limited to a 35mm FoV...but some of the crowd reaction shots are great. Good job.
I think the X100 is really a reportage camera, but not a spot-news camera. It's forté is intimate, long-form documentary, maybe.

More likely a compressed-air tank, not an oxygen cylinder. It certainly seems to have pushed out the windows effectively whatever it was.
Hopefully the tank didn't rupture (big bits of shrapnel) but possibly the pressurised bits and pieces failed suddenly while a tank was being filled, which wouldn't do anyones eardrums any good at all.

I really liked the third one down, with the person behind the translucent door. Good work!

Nice work, I like the media scrum a lot and the "curious manager"
The shallow DOF of the police tape is nice too, did you have to engage the ND filter for that one?

Thank you for all your comments.
capitalK, yes, I usually use the ND filter always on when I'm out since there's no noise even over ISO1000. Usually I shoot with an aperture of 2, 2.8 or 4.

Haha, teo, I have no clue.
The whole text doesn't make sense even in finnish. The translation is: "Massage member fix voice massage"

Yes, this is really a good shot. Some of them seem to jump to get some picture of the police spokesman... incredible!

Oh okay. I've never been to a massage and have no knowledge of that. So it didn't make sense to me at first.
Damn, a Swedish person understands Finnish better than me.

I really like the colours of these images; they seem different from other X100 images I've seen. Are these in-camera jpegs or raw, and what, if any, postprocessing did you do with them?

Don't mess with compressed air in scuba tanks. Remember the ending of the original "Jaws" movie? I once saw the back end of a car completely blown-out. It was a scuba tank in the trunk that failed.

Haha, don't take it too hard! My parents taught Finnish at university level.

Raw and pp in lightroom.
I didn't alter the colors, except temperature. Then the shadows, highlights, etc. Maybe the light was just different?
