Sunday, February 22, 2015 had been a wet windy day, but as evening approached, I saw the clouds clearing in the west. I made an opportunity to experiment with my X-T1.<\/p>\n

The dramatic lighting effects of a winter evening in Dublin are as good a time as any to make photographs, and I\u2019ve found that among the strengths of my new camera is working in low light.<\/p>\n

To retain the hues of dusk, I switched the white balance setting from \u2018auto\u2019 to \u2018daylight,\u2019 while I upped the ISO dial to its higher ranges, and selected the \u2018Velvia\u2019 color profile.<\/p>\n

My 18-135 lens is a remarkably sharp piece of glass and its built-in image stabilization allowed me to work hand-held in lighting situations that would have been all but impossible with my film cameras.<\/p>\n

I exposed about 140 images over the course of an hour and one half. That\u2019s equivalent to just less than 4 rolls of slide film. I admit that sounds like a lot, however when I found an interesting scene, I\u2019d bracket my exposure, while experimenting with various metering and focusing modes while pushing the limits of image stabilization.<\/p>\n

This was an opportunity to test the camera\u2019s capabilities, while working in a visually familiar environment. So, I revisited streets where I\u2019ve photographed frequently over the years.<\/p>\n

This is a sampling of Sunday\u2019s efforts. I exposed RAW and Jpgs of each photo; presented here are scaled versions of the Jpgs. Other than the necessary size reduction for internet presentation, I\u2019ve not manipulated, adjusted or otherwise enhanced these photos in post-processing.<\/p>\n
