On a bus heading to Hyde Parker Corner from Green Park, taken with X100.

Nice shot Jim, I'm guessing that was from the top deck window?

 

[Jim Kuo]

Yup, top deck front row seat on the right .

 

[Thomas brookes]

Love how much detail is in the shot.... Makes me want an x100 even more now!!!

 

[Jim Kuo]

I think Chris shares similar dilemma .

 

[Thomas brookes]

I'm taking some funds to focus on Monday.... May come home with one!!

 

[Pete Askew]

Very nice Jim. I really like the motion on the road in the foreground and the contrast that makes with the bus ahead etc. Great example of an everyday scene made interesting.

 

[Jim Kuo]

Thanks Pete .

Uh oh, fighting talk - someone's coming home with a Fuji bag from the show!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Jim, I like the motion blur effect as you get closer to the camera - really pulls you along

 

[Chris Dodkin]

I think Chris shares similar dilemma .

I just caved in the end - couldn't hold off any longer - all your fault Jim - I'm giving my wife your Email address so she can complain directly, instead of through me

 

[Jim Kuo]

Doh! I'm in trouble...

One point I should stress is that X100 is no DSLR, so one should not expect it to respond as such. Having no prior older style (film, rangefinder..etc) camera training, I find it a challenging camera to use. But if I happen to get it right, the results can be quite pleasing.
