*Relaxed Read*
Fuji XT3
As I was walking towards Embarcadero, I stumbled upon this guy, reading a paperback. He looked so cool and relaxed, I just had to snap.
*Homeless in San Francisco*
Fuji XT3
Before I landed in San Francisco I was told by several people that the homeless problem had become much much worse. Apart from a (frankly not reassuring) walk through the Tenderloin as I was going to a meeting I’m not sure I felt it was worse than the last time I was around, but it sure is bad. I loved the positive message that this guy was broadcasting though.
Breakfast in America
Fuji XPro-2, 70mm, f/4, 1/60s, ISO 4000
I’ve been deprived of a digital camera for three months and deprived of San Francisco for three years. This morning I got up early thanks to the insane jetlag between HK and SFO and I strolled around before the sunrise. It’s good to be taking photos.
Sunrise Under the Bay Bridge
Fuji x100s, 35mm, f/11, 14s, ISO 200 w. ND 64 external filter and ND 8 internal filter
It’s surprisingly difficult to do sunrise shots of San Francisco. The city is nearly always lost in fog until close to mid-day, and on my first day there last week I didn’t realise how lucky I was to catch this much of a sunrise, which is admittedly not much. Still, I quite liked the composition, with the wooden piles at the forefront and what little of the morning sunlight is visible directly under the bridge. I remain amazed at my x100s’ capabilities and am seriously thinking about ditching the Canon system altogether…
