Vivid Sydney 2013 - Street Fashion Reportage-Style with the Fuji X-Pro1

What a difference a year makes! Last year when shooting the Vivid Light Festival I went all Old Skool with tripod and filters and tricky exposures but this year, shooting with the Fuji X-Pro1 I decided to go all reportage-style and put my focus, and the fabulous Fuji's 35mm lens on the people attending vivid and their interactions with the Vivid event itself. All the pictures were made with Fujifilm X-Pro1, XF35mmF1.4 R iso at 3200 and giving a little extra pop using the  EF20 Flash set at-1. Camera in aperture priority mode, most shots at F2. With the camera set all I had to do was find my subjects and photograph them; which was not that tricky once I got going. Yes one certainly needs some confidence but I do think the Fuji X-Pro1 looks so different that the very camera itself  'cuts you some extra slack in a crowd'  and I didn't get too many strange or agro looks. Nice! Hope you like my take on Vivid Sydney 2013..

Oh; and since I made so many landscape pictures, and at 600 pixels wide the blog here does not quite do justice to the finer details.. so I have also put a complete set of the images at 1600 pixels wide on Flickr here. Yes view the BIG Versions HERE.
