Nice vibrant colours, what kind of post processing do you apply?
Thank's Andreas!
I use lightroom and spend most of my time in Tone Curve, Split Toning and HSL.
For the x100s, I'll start with one of calibration profiles that mimic the Fuji in-camera profiles and maybe tweak it a bit. Then I'll get my Tone Curve just the way I want. In HSL I'll play a bit with the Hue/Saturation of green when there is foliage, the Hue/Saturation/Luminance of blue when there is some sky showing and will almost always pull down the saturation of orange, if the subject is a person. If I want a little something more, like a subtle color cast or retro look, I'll jump into Split Toning. I tend to go for cooler shadows or magenta shadows/highlights.

Nice! I assume you start with a raw file? Or do you use in in-camera jpeg film simulation?
I know I'm late to this show but for the last month or so I've been looking at all the fine shots that people have posted here ... about a month ago I purchased a Fuji x100t, I've been camera less for the last 1 1/2 and still visit FM to see all things regarding Photography it's still an interest to me...
I've lugged around many camera's since I've joined this forum and the thought of having a small camera that fit in my pocket was idea so that's what I did and I'm loving it ... no longer having to tug around a bag, tripod, extra this and that just a pocket and a camera and my feet to zoom....
Well anyway
Shot these all at f5.6 ISO 400 timed about 1.9 to 2.3 sec using my old camera release cable (fun to use again)
Color Changed to B/W just for fun and to me looks cool! But that's just me...
Chicago at night along the river at night is a great place to shoot. I spent a night there with a Zorki6 and Tmax100 for some long exposures with moving cars and traffic. Very interesting place and lots of place to steady a camera even with out a tripod.
I'd say that the one thing I wish my X100T did better was depth control. At F2, it just doesn't give enough separation from the background when doing across the table shots of people. I think either FF at F2 or a F1.4 23mm lens would do the trick. I'm getting used to the manual focus, but I'd still like a direct drive not fly by wire like it is now.
It is rapidly taking the place of my 5DII/24-105 combo, iwht out feeling that restricted by the lack of zoom. Something I willingly give up for the portability.
I'd like to be able to manually adjust the flash power, granted that there isn't that much power in the flash to porportion out.

OK, I'll prove myself wrong. At the nursery this weekend to get new flowers for two planters for the ones shredded in the hail storm a few weeks ago. A nice bouquet of bokeh in the flowers and the one on my daughter's shirt is pretty sharp too. And I found the power setting for the flash.

I wonder where the double image comes from - thick window?
That's what I was thinking. It was double panned, with a good space between them. The lights on the poles also ghosted. I actually was standing with the camera pressed against the glass for stability and to cut down on ghosted images from the lit inside of the concourse.
I just love this camera. The best thing is that I actually take it with me everywhere I go, and still have control and the sensor to capture quality images.
