Just a short walk from my house and I’m in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, which boasts some of the most exclusive addresses in London. It also contains Olympia, a grand old exhibition centre which first opened in 1886, and is covered in an impressive canopy of glass and iron of which the Victorians were so fond.
This was a beautifully clear and sunny day, and the light penetrated two sides of glass to produce a series of wonderful coloured light refractions and flares.
This is also the first official shot from my new Fuji XE-1 camera, which made well-known buildings seem less familiar as I got to grips with my new system. I also tried some more close-up work, with this photograph of a sign from a nearby Boris Bike stand, London’s bicycle hire system.
Any thoughts on these initial shots would be most welcome – I’m pleased so far and look forward to more work with my new camera.
It’s going to be a winner!
Nice and clear great composition too … looks like your getting used to the fuji already
Thanks very much, Steve, good to see you here. I need a fair few more trips out yet, but it already feels like mine.
Pretty impressive, Mike! Compare with your Lumix pictures no doubt these are better for sure. Looking forward to see your new projects with new baby.
Thank you, Alexander, I appreciate your comment. I think there’s more clarity and my new baby is capable of a lot more. It may not fit in my pocket but now it has its own bag.
Great shots. I like the clarity in these shots. Thanks for sharing. -Max-
Max, thank you very much, I appreciate you dropping by. Yes, I’d say the Fuji is producing crisper results compared to my trusty little Lumix.
Congratulations and good luck with the Fuji. Great camera and great shots.
Thank you very much, that’s really appreciated. All good so far!
