(2 photos) Wandering the streets of Chelsea in New York City, I was excited to put my Fuji X100T through some nighttime paces. It didn’t disappoint! The first shot is outside “The Tippler,” a bar in the basement of Chelsea Market; the second is of a pop-up shop selling men’s and women’s jewelry. Shout out to my son, Ryan, who took me and his dad around this great neighborhood (and who — surprise! — I caught in the first photo ).

That first shot conveys a lot of the excitement of city night life. Funny how similar photos can be dark and sinister, or full of light and energy, depending on the treatment. Lovely photos, Stacy.

Thanks, Alys! The first is definitely my favorite; the second is a testament to how wonderfully the Fuji dealt with the high contrast scene – I just loved how it turned out almost straight out of the camera!

LOL 😂 Perhaps I could convince him to play in Hawaii. I think I could find a few things to photograph on a course or two there 👍🏻😜

Stacy, I’m going crazy- though some might argue I took that trip a long time ago. I know I commented on these photos but there’s nothing here. Did you post these somewhere else? Have you heard from me recently?

Well, I won’t outright address the “crazy” question, Emilio, but yes, you did see this on Facebook, and yes, you did comment on it there 😀 Thanks for that!

Thanks! Of the two, it’s my favorite as well (could it be because my son is in it? 😉), but I was thrilled with the quality of both of them, despite handheld and very high ISO 😀

Hi, Max. I LOVE the camera! Best decision I ever made. It has brought a level of fun to photography that wasn’t there before with my DSLR. As for the settings, I shot RAW, auto WB, 1/60 sec @ f/2.0, ISO 3200. In post, I changed the camera profile to Provia/Standard and applied some basic adjustments in LR. Thanks for liking the photo so much. It’s definitely one of my favorites.

It definitely does, Patti! As far as returning, I have the chance to come up for an overnight next week 🙂 Probably a total of 24 hours, but I’ll take it!! There’s also the possibility of mid-September when Leanne Cole from Australia comes to the city via San Francisco. Do you know of Leanne? She’s a wonderful landscape photographer and her Monochrome Madness Challenge was where I first tried my hand at black and white photography 🙂
