I am finding myself more and more drawn to street photography. Although I have expressed misgivings of this type of photography in the past I think I am finally starting to “get it”. I don’t claim to have any great skill in this area of photography but I am finding
I’ve had the latest version of Fujifilm’s X100 series, the ‘F’, for a few weeks now. Life being what it is, i.e. busy, I’ve sadly not had the chance to use it as much as I’d hoped but here are my first impressions with a few images of and from the camera. This
