Love the train driver in the second image, looks like he's tipping his cap to the boy.
I never noticed that. That's my son in the picture with his little canon mirrorless camera
It's appropriate that in the middle of the madhouse crowd, this group of school kids claimed the center seat. Louis XIII evidently used the Grande Galerie for his own playroom as a boy.

Hey all - Back in the day, I enjoyed shooting with an X100 LE and later, an X100S. Then I jumped to FF Sony and never looked back. I still love the Sony, but I always missed the X100 experience!
A few months ago, a like new X100V popped up on the B&S, and I made an impulse buy. Work kept me from taking the camera out much until yesterday and, after a rainy walk through Brooklyn Bridge Park, am back in love with the X100! IQ is SO much better than the earlier versions, and the new lens is fantastic, but still retains the X100 vibe. The icing on the cake was the new weather sealing. So nice to not worry about getting splashed.
I used a B&W film sim, but did some extra work in Lightroom. At some point, I'm going to try to tweak the in camera sim to be more like what I am after so I can go SOOC.
Great work on the conversions on these, as was stated, really nice tonality. Also great on its own just photographically. I'm particularly fond at the moment of the Eye Spy, Luke's, and Bronx-Queens Expressway images.
It's hard to tell from the tight framing, since if I'd backed up any further I would have been in the street, but the right half of the image is the edifice of the Paris Museum of Modern Art. And on the left, at the base of the same building complex, a barred room with an extensive display of modern art of a different kind.
I neither know French nor tried to translate the graffiti, so hopefully nothing inappropriate in there... Please let me know if there is!
This little guy on the subway had his eye and stomach set on that crumb of food for several minutes. Sadly, his owner wasn't disposed toward letting him indulge himself. Probably went to bed that night dreaming of the taste of his lost manna from heaven.
I was amused by these pint-sized little cars that are common in Paris, especially compared to the one parked right behind it that would be considered normal size here in the U.S. I felt like I had to fight the urge to pick this little thing up and put it in my pocket, ha.
Footprints in the sand of Omaha Beach, Normandy. These were left by beachgoers in November 2022. To me they echoed those who left their footprints in these sands many decades before.
My first Fuji. X100S. Still going after 10 years. A bit fussy to use compared to an X-T5 but not without its charms. Picked up an anniversary gift for it. They seem to go together pretty well. Not a big flash user but it is an icebreaker of epic proportions .
