Street Photography with the Fujifilm GFX100S and 80mm f/1.7. Worldwide Photowalk

Street photography is not something I am known for, but every year my man Chris Nielson hosts a photowalk in Hamilton as a part of Scott Kelby’s “Worldwide Photowalk”. There’s a competition attached to it, but I don’t bother entering.

One would think my Fuji X-T4 would be the ideal weapon for such a walk, or even my EOS Elan 7 film camera. But instead I chose the tank that is the GFX100S and an equally tankish GF 80mm f/1.7. Being roughly 63mm equivalent in focal length in “full frame” terms. Or roughly 42mm equivalent on my APS-C Fuji its not a terrible focal length for street photography.

One of the cool things about Fujifilm cameras is that they include film simulations which are designed to replicate the look of some of Fujis and classic film stocks from back int he day. I intended on shooting the day in black & white so Fujis Acros Film sim was the flavour of the day. I Shot RAW+JPEG and have dumped all 84 JPEGs (warts and all) into this folder over on Flickr

That said I have edited a couple of shots (Most in colour) to post here for you guys.

Enjoy!
