Beautiful representation of a dream.
Suppose there is no human male not dreaming to have once such a car. The ones driving her mostly do not appreciate their luck (fortune).

Hi Stany,

Yes, one of my XE1's has to go as i acquired recently a very nice X Pro1 for little (?) money.
For the time being, the XT1 does not interest me so much as Fuji should have stayes with their original concept of the X100/X Pro1 look...
My personal feeling, you know.

Gilbert

Holy cow! (expression by Ken Rockwell, and now me too) Impressive, Gino. And that 14mm is giving a lot. I'm already dreaming... (just recently found a practical new-200 exp.- X Pro 1 in the box for E 500.-. After getting my Gariz halfcase -on his way from Korea- will be allowed to come outside.) Bor...

Gilbert

Congrats for Anton for his little Fuji 'baby'. Have one myself and to full satisfaction. About the new XT1: it looks very nice, and will be excellent (same sensor etc as XE2,etc) to work with but, and that is my honest opinion: Fuji should have stayed with the original look of the X Pro 1, X100(S), ...

Gilbert

Many thks Anton!

Gilbert

i'm jealous for your part of the world view, Anton!
Well done : beautifull light and good cross linings.

Very nice shot JP! Good colour, lightfall and contrast. Like it very much.

For me it comes always down to the same (old) principle: a matter of taste. HDR i personnally do not like so much, so when i saw the first picture i was thinking HDR? So for me certainly no +. Cropping: not sure as well: one might loose the nice bifurcation of the Seine...(or part) Nightscene: agree...

Gilbert

Impressive shots!
Well done Stany.

Well done Stany.

Here another one, Anton, so we can compare. This time with the Fuji 100S, and cropped. Recently taken.

Gilbert

Good morning Anton, Ha, surprise: no Nikon and no Fuji. Sony DSC R1, you know, the older (2005/2006) bridgecamera with the fantastic Vario Zeiss lens 24-120mm and the LCD screen on top, so you can shoot out of the hip. It was the first camera with APS-C sensor (it is said that it is the same sensor ...

Great dogs.

Thanks for commenting Stany.
I remember from when i was a small child that i regarded these Opels as big and luxurous on the roads. Nowadays they rather look small. Is it me growing in the meantime or is it the cars...
Keep on shooting!

Spectacular shot Anton! Lots of depth and you shouldn't say it was so cold...

Thanks for your nice comments Anton!

Hi Leen!

No snowfall here as well: it is a picture of winter 2012/2013 when there was a lot(just to bring the feeling back). Taken with a Nikon D2XS (what lens i do not remember, perhaps the 85mm f2 ai).
Thanks for your message Leen!

Gilbert

Always ready to go out with me.

Gilbert

Thanks Gino for the nice comments again! The pictures indeed might be a little darker than usual, but it was really a groomy and dark, overcast day (almost raining). Question of taste perhaps too, because at the academy (were i was a couple of years) they preferred pictures a little bit darker, for ...

Hi! I'm Gilbert and it becomes time i wish you all a fine and healthy newyear 2014 with a lot of photographic moments!

The end of last year flowed slowly away in Antwerp. I even managed to take pictures without people on them. Because loving the black & white too, we transferred into. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dvtNCuxct8w/UpcEc-rNUiI/AAAAAAAAKDs/4xHJyuTk6ak/w717-h618-no/DSCF0055zw25.jpg https://lh5.goog...

Hi Gino & everybody! Thanks again Gino for sharing yr nice pictures from yr roadtrip TdF again. I am using mostly my Fuji's (X100S and XE1) for shooting nowadays (the only remaining Nikon is a D3 with far over 300000 clicks...). As the IQ of the Fuji's is so good (even comparing with the full fr...

Gilbert

Hey Gino! First of all: happy NewYear 2014. Thanks for sharing the impressive pictures you made on your tour de France. Very much liked the style: as it comes to you and without tricks and bells.(the right exposure and framing) Seems we are living not too far from each other (i am living Moerbeke Wa...

Hello everybody: my first reply... As i am also in the 65+ category and started looking with interest first to the amazing good comments on the Fuji X 100 published early this year (and before). Secondly had the opportunity to buy a Fuji XE1 with the famous 35mm (52mmFF) f 1.4 secondhand at a terrib...

Nice shots Stany, especially the insects: fascinating!

Since the Adobe debacle, we started using FastStone. A rather simple, but very satisfying software which can do almost everything (but much easier) than the
Photoshops' do. Is really worth looking at. And it is for FREE. The NX software we never tried.

Gilbert

I completely agree with your view. When i read that Adobe went to the cloud system and asked their clients to pay for monthly fees to have access to their newest software, i decided not to use theirs anymore. At first earning a lot of money for selling their products (PS2,3,4,5,6 etc) and then sent ...
