Stripes

A lot of stripes in this shot… Her clothes, the crosswalk, the walls… A lot of horizontality! This is one of my first shots with my new Fujifilm X100T (review to come soon!), a small camera with great possibilities.

This photo was processed in  Adobe Lightroom, with nothing but a small exposure adjustment and applying Fuji’s Black & White with Green Filter profile. After a few days with the X100T I can say its great strength is the possibility to have very good shots either directly with in camera JPEGs or juste applying the same profile in Lightroom.

Contrast: Bright present, dark future

This photo was taken in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. It’s a photo that I really like, full of contrast. I don’t speak about its processing, here 🙂  Bright/dark, young/old, dark hair/white hair, white clothes/dark clothes… This young, beautiful, dark haired girl stands in the light while this older lady with a white hair and dark clothes stay in the dark. Is it a vision of her future? That may be!

While technically not perfect, it’s a photo I really like as it displays the 2 sides of women in Romania. On one side today’s beautiful girls, on the other side the older woman who lived during the communist era, a totally different life. Did I say contrast already? 🙂 It was a reflex shot, as I was roaming in the streets, on the phone, the camera in the other hand. I passed by them, hardly had the time to rotate by 135 degrees, take the camera to my eyes and shoot them. I wish I framed a bit more on the right, but one second later they both moved and the scene was gone.

For this photo, nothing really fancy on the processing side, just a black and white conversion with Adobe Lightroom and a few dodge and burn to give it a more 3D look.
