Midway through the morning, we were caught in the greatest torrential downpour I had ever experienced in London. Thoroughly soaking wet at the end of it all. And then, there was that rainbow.

The X100S continues to amaze. From some time ago: Leicester Square, Covent Garden, and Piccadilly Circus. Mostly in A-priority, auto-ISO with an experimental minimum shutter speed of 1/80 and minimal post-processing. ‘Natural’ street lighting, which is gorgeous. f/2.8, 1/56, ISO 6400 f/2.0, 1/75, ISO 6400 f/4.0, 1/45, ISO 6400 f/2.8, 1/80, ISO 4000 f/2.0, 1/80, ISO 800 f/2.8, 1/80, ISO 3200 f/2.0, 1/80, ISO 1250 f/2.0, 1/80, ISO 1600
I love how I’m able to spend 20 minutes in a single spot… and let people come to me. (I was merely killing time since I was early for a dinner appointment!) Almost too easy. Also I find that I become much more eager (reckless?) on the shutter when I’m not really in the mood for streeting, resulting in a high hit rate but producing images of little substance. Technically sound, but the emotional connection isn’t there. These are the more… intimiate ones that survived the cull.
