x100s walk in the bush and candid portraits

I went for a walk this afternoon and decided to take a bush walk at the back of Lane Cove Sydney. Took the x100s just in case, and I'm glad Im glad I did. Besides taking a few vistas, I decided to play with the internal flash, whist engaging the ND filter and manually setting the shutter speed - aperture set to A. Before the walk I took some nice casual shots of the kids. Remember these are all JPEG files edited in PSE, opening the JPEGs in the RAW editor and doing minor tweaking. Enjoy.

x100 NYE Broadbeach Qld 2012

Well I know everyone is talking about the x100s at the moment, but these pictures were taken straight from the camera JPEG using bulb setting on a tripod on New Years Eve 2012. The beach fireworks are something to behold and certainly worth seeing of you ever have the opportunity. I even managed a nice long exposure of the surf during the full moon. Just goes to show how good the x100 still is and can be when used correctly. These JPEGS were taken directly from the camera without any editing. Enjoy.
