Victorian Market
These are more images from our recent trip to Inverness. They were taken at the Victorian Market: indoors, on a grey day, in artificial light at ISO 1600, they are silky smooth. I remain astonished by the quality of images produced by the Fuji X100s under less than ideal conditions. Perversely they were shot in Fujifilm Velvia mode and then converted using OnOne’s B&W simulation (20th Century Classic Silver/City Streets). I sound like a Fuji salesman but this is one magical little device – expensive but they are coming down in price (damn) and are now available in black (double-damn) 😦

Nice shots, although I’m feeling a bit dizzy with all the tilting. 🙂
Thanks – no excuse either – the X100s has an artificial horizon, a bit like flying a plane 🙂
There is a nice effect to the photos you take with the Fuji. Can’t put my finger on what it is exactly – luminosity, clarity, etc. Those ladies look delighted to have caught your eye. So, if your camera isn’t black, what color is it? Or shouldn’t I ask? 😉
Glad you said that Julie, thought it might just be me. I guess It is a combination of the Fuji X-Trans sensor and a superb lens. It is ‘retro’ made to look like a traditional 35mm film viewfinder camera- black and silver – the new version just blackens out the silver. I have always preferred all black cameras but I still like the looks of this one… http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilm-x100s
Reminds me so much of the market in Leeds, Robin. (but that dog wasn’t there 🙂 )
Yup Jo, I have been dragged reluctantly round there too 😦
I loved the way the busker’s neckerchief matched the dog 🙂
nicely unsettling dutch tilts
“widely used to depict madness” – not sure if that is the subject or the photographer 🙂
😕 😯
