Finally I had a some time in Stockholm city to go shooting the streets. I am still learning stuff about the Fujifilm X100 every time I shoot. I now had the camera for about 9 months and it's a tricky one. The X100 is not for everyone, that is for sure. The auto focus tends to miss and acts a bit nervous, and it is in my opinion a bit on the slow side for fast action street shooting. Therefore I have been practicing shooting in manual focus mode and using zone focusing. This works quite well out in the day light (using smaller apertures 5,6-11), but becomes quite hard to use when shooting in the subway, because of the low light conditions in this underground dungeon. In the subway I mostly use aperture values between 2-4 which result in a shallow depth of field and zone focusing is not really an option. Even though I use the X100 every day it feels like it will take years to fully master this little brick of a camera, and I have a feeling that I will unfold some of the secrets how to fully use this black magic of a camera (I have the Black Limited edition). Enough camera talk, here are some new photos from the streets and Stockholm subway.
