Some social portraits

More from the X100

These are the folk that you may have seen snogging in an alley

Great set of candids there Hamish. I love her expression in No 3 - perfectly timed and the look of contempt in the last one!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Yeah, i wanted the same shot with Greg looking like he was making a loud noise ... didnt work out, but this i feel has a similar feel to it!

The first did work out quite well eh, the fuji is definitely good for that sort of thing ... it did have most of the table ogling it too!

 

[Brian Moore]

Great set, Hamish. I want a pint now.

The lady in 3 is lovely. Is he her co-snogger?

In the last one I like the out of focus and the apparent blast of cigarette smoke by way of disdain for the sign posted admonition.

 

[Vic Shaw]

Nice set there Hamish, the lady in '#1 has a strange set on fingers

[Hamish Gill]

Is he her co-snogger?

Yep, thats her!

 

[Paul Lange]

Nice shots Hamish you can really see your style of photography shinning through. I also have to agree with Brian in regards to the co-snogger being all lovely n all.

 

[Hamish Gill]

I might send her a link to this ...
She looks like to Janine to me...

 

[Chris Dodkin]

All AF Hamish?

 

[Larry Bolch]

For the most part, an invisible camera. Love what the X100 empowers us to do—people living their lives while we chronicle.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Your not wrong Larry!
Yep, all AF Chris, an actually all with the efv as opposed to the ofv... It seems to focus a touch better in low light when using the efv
My industrial landscapes were all shot with the efv too, because the lens is so small it can be poked through gaps in fences, when doing that it's an advantage to see through the lens ... They half manual half auto focus, just what ever seemed to suit at the the time...

As the camera becomes learned, it yields all manner of wondrous secrets. The EVF is great in low light, way beyond what the eye can see through the OVF.

No wonder there were so many brain-dead reviews. No one took the time to read the manual or learn the camera. It was like a 35mm shooter being handed a large format monorail view camera for half and hour, getting no results and writing it off as a piece of useless crap—to sound profound and evade the accusation of being an airhead who can not comprehend anything unfamiliar. Even worse, many of the oft-quoted reviews were from FUD-meisters writing in the DPReview forum weeks or months before the camera was even released.

The two most prevalent substances in the universe are hydrogen and ignorance.
