Thanks, Sergio. Always rewarded to be up in the street early in the morning!

Yep, the thing is to get up early, specially with this cold weather.
You are very welcome Jean-Daniel, thanks a lot for sharing.

Mysterious building and mysterious lighting... Nice JD.

First and foremost: this is a hugely impressive shot, nearly 3D the way it presents itself. The b/w work is simple awesome!
And secondly: you used a Fujifilm X100? What do you think of it? I use one of those myself every once in a while. And while I like its classy quality - both camera and picture quality - I'm a bit unhappy with it in situations when I have to act fast. Focusing and shutter release are just that tiny fraction too slow for my liking. So I use it mostly for objects slow in their movements - like plants and buildings.

Thanks, Bruno. The scene was almost B&W to start with, so it was a natural conversion.
Yes, I have been using an X100 on a daily basis for almost 10 month, keeping the heavy stuff for the week end.
I can't complain about the speed. I have used other compact cameras in the past, and they were far from being as good - and that was frustrating to use. Maybe I have developed some skills to shoot just a bit earlier than I would do with a DSLR.

You must have developed exactly that skill - because me, I shoot always that tiny fraction too late. The results then are seldom a 100% satisfying.
But yes, it IS a splendid and very beautiful camera.

There is no doubt that I have to do something like that. Maybe it takes a few thousands images - I reached 2000 yesterday with it. I also tend to really use one camera at a time - except for film camera. I haven't used my Canon 7D for street in a while.

Thanks, Iryna. It is a very old and large church.

Very interesting play of light and shadow - is this a public building? Seems very large for a common residence...I love the wide railed threshold of the recessed double-doors.

Thanks, Paul. It is a side entrance to a large church (St Sulpice in Paris). I don't think that these doors are still in use, thus I don't know why they seem to be so marked by time.

Ici la magie du noir et blanc fonctionne parfaitement. Une belle image, toute en simplicité... et subtilité. Chapeau !

Sans doute, mais encore faut-il avoir des yeux pour le repérer et de la patience pour attendre la bonne lumière et le bon instant.

C'est sur qu'a 13 ou 14h ca aurait echoue completement. L'avenir appartient aux photographes qui se levent tot!
