          I like all those shots, but the first one is just fantastic!  Nicely done.

              Another one from last years visit to Elba, Italy, that I just found looking through the archive.
              There’s something badass about a bronzed Italian on a balcony

              • I wish I could pull it off like that.

              Also this pic makes me lust for a nice Espresso in a bar in that small village.

              Fuji XT-4 with the 23mm 1.4

                It’s a really cool shot,that has me staring it and contemplating alternate ways the image might be cropped to make it even more compelling. I keep ending up back at the way it is. Did you just take 1 shot?

                  That’s exactly what I went through. I tried to crop it in multiple ways, only to return to the uncropped version.
                  I think it is the wide angle distortion that makes this pic „uncroppable“.
                  I only took this one picture.

                  a 35mm (rather than the 23 I was shooting with) probably would have done a better job at emphasizing the the man on the balcony.
                  I love shooting primes, but it’s moments like these that I wish I had a zoom lense. 😅

                  Use it or lose it.

                    I like it even more now ,knowing that it’s one second frozen in time.

                      My top 4 from today. Met with my sister in the city and took the XT4 with my manual 35/1.2 with me.
                      It’s so compact it fits in the hand warmer pocket of my jacket.

                      I love to shoot when I’m „on my way“. People are in the zone doing their thing and that’s fun to capture.
                      Hope you enjoy the pics.

                        These are by far and away my favorites that you’ve posted so far. Love Street Photography,but,for the life of me,I can not do,which makes me appreciate your work even more. Every picture tells a story. @weftyarn My current favorite Street Photographer goes by the name raveninnyc on Instagram.Check out her work I think you might like it.

                          @Jett129 much appreciated - it means a lot to hear that from you. I’ve always liked street photography. It makes me get lost in the moment more than any other form of photography.

                          Raveninnyc is absolutely amazing - thanks for making me aware.

                          Snapsbyfox (based in London) is also worth a follow, I really like his work 🙂

                            You’re very welcome. I think it means a lot to any photographer when another photographer takes the time to comment on their work. I don’t think we do it enough. I get annoyed with myself sometimes for being lazy and just giving a generic like/thumbs up. On another note I’m of the opinion that you can’t teach what you do.

                              You’re absolutely right @Jett129 , we live in a time where you rarely get honest and thorough feedback
                              because giving thumbs up (or down) is what we’re used to do all day.

                              This forum is basically the only place where I post my photography
                              and this thread has made me want to take out my lenses more and get creative.

                              Im currently on a business trip in Frankfurt.

                              When I was waiting at the gate  for my train,
                              I took took some pictures with the 7Artisans 35mm.

                                What a fucking great shot,made me smile as soon as I saw it. I was in NYC on Wednesday and I was trying to imagine what I could take a picture of if I had my camera. I guess I just need to do it. Even with the masks on you get the vibe of the interaction.

                                  Thanks, @Jett129 🤙🏽
                                  The picture is growing on me, the more I look at it!

                                  And you are absolutely right. There’s so many great situations that I wish I had me camera with me to capture.
                                  The saying “the best camera is the one you have with you” is there for a reason 😃

                                  While we’re at it, here’s a cross post from this weeks photo competition:
                                  I love the versatility of a 23mm lens. No wonder photo journalists use it so much.

                                  Use it or lose it.

                                    When I was young I was mentored by a photographer. He said to me at the very beginning. If we're to work together,the one thing you can never say to me is…I wish I had my camera. These days I guess since I always have my phone I always have a camera,but I've become more hesitant to take the random shot, which is why I enjoy your photography so much.

                                      I can totally relate, @Jett129

                                      I don’t know why, but a certain barrier has to be there for me to enjoy shooting.
                                      The camera I can always have with me, will less likely be the one I actually reach for.

                                      But I’ll also avoid taking a heavy DSLR on the streets.

                                      I feel like APSC cameras are the sweet spot.
                                      Maybe even fixed lens cameras like the Fuji X100V,
                                      I’d love to have it one day.

                                      Here’s some more 23mm street:
