Pont Notre-Dame
Fuji X100S, 35mm, 27s, f/8, ISO 200 (in-built ND filter)
Last night I participated in a photowalk in Paris near the Seine, and I was reminded by one of the other participants, also an X100 user, of the in-built ND filter. I set it up in camera, put the camera on the rail of the Pont D’Arcole and kneeled on the ground, clutching my strap for fear of the camera falling in the water. The result seriously astounded me. It may not be the best long-exposure shot ever, but considering I expected nothing of that in-built ND, it’s pretty astounding. Next time I’ll remember to take my gorillapod and my beanbag…
Fantastic photos! I recently purchased a used x100 and love it! Do you shoot raw on your x100s? Do you use manual mode or let the camera meter for something like this? Thanks in advanced!
Tobias, I shoot RAW (I occasionally have RAW + b&w JPG, but it’s rare). For something like this, it’s a bit hit and miss, you let the camera meter, check the results and then adjust manually accordingly.
