DSC02317SONY DSC-RX100 (13.25mm, f/3.2, 1/40 sec, ISO125)

Another business trip. This time it’s Belgrade in Serbia. Late November 2012. Cold, grey and wet. Beside a couple of shots I took during a walk through the center I did not take a lot of images. When we went to the airport to get home we saw an old airplane museum. I loved the look of the building, my colleague loves planes and we got some time to kill so we went there.  Continue reading

Rattle and Hum, Thoughts about the X-Pro 1

SONY DSCSONY NEX-5 (39mm, f/8, 1/60 sec, ISO250)

I got my Fuji X100 in September 2011 but it became my most used camera in that year. Even more impressive when you consider that it had the sticky aperture blade – problem, needed to be sent to Germany for repair and missed a trip to Moscow.

When I woke up in the morning I knew it was going to be a good day. Finally it was snowing in Moscow! Continue reading

Driving ( RX100 ), November 2012

SONY DSC-RX100 (16.2mm, f/5.6, 1/640 sec, ISO125)

The picture above is not sharp or better it is unsharp but it is not totally unsharp. It is easy to see what’s in there: A couple of cars driving along the Autobahn into the setting sun. The fast AF of my RX100 focused on the dead flies on the windscreen and created a better shot than if it would have focused on the cars. Continue reading
