Rediscovering the magic of the Fujifilm X100F In 2024 | Sydney Street Photography

[@RoadsOfOz]

Loving this channel mate. I am very keen to learn more about photography..

[@rogerbrooksfilms]

Thanks for the kind feedback. It is a fascinating art form, and very enriching. If you ever need advice, I’d be happy to help. ✌️

You forget in a digital world just how real film can encapsulate a moment in time I luv the grain and depth film gives too excellent job mate

[@rogerbrooksfilms]

I agree mate. I didn’t grow up with film photography even though I’m old enough to. ✌️

[@Auhana50]

Love my x100f no intentions of upgrading captures wonderful pictures

[@rogerbrooksfilms]

Glad you're enjoying yours, it's a great little camera. Appreciate the support. ✌

[@Moz42]

Really lovin' your work, Roger. Man! so many opportunities in the CBD, and variety. Cheers

[@rogerbrooksfilms]

Thank you mate. If you know your camera well then it’s fun shooting in built up areas. ✌️

[@Zulu_117_ST]

So proud of you and your creative flair! ❤

[@rogerbrooksfilms]

Thank you! ❤️

So many quirky characters. Love the monochrome. That little camera has a smooth feeling. I went for a photo walk through Blacktown today. So many "QUIRKY" characters that I was too scared to get the camera out of my back pack. Not one photo. Sad really. Mental health and drugs are so bad right now. Crazy people everywhere. Same at Parramatta.

[@rogerbrooksfilms]

Parramatta, in my opinion is almost lifeless for photography. I’m sure that local photographers could prove otherwise, and I hope that I’m wrong, however that’s how I see it. Perhaps when the light rail construction is completed it will change. I would say to you that you should take the camera out, push up the shutter speed and shoot discreetly… it’ll take you to the edge man. 😉✌️

Love how you have processed the images - mind sharing your technique to get them to look like that?

[@rogerbrooksfilms]

Thank you. I always do basic adjustments in Lightroom first, then I usually like to edit in Silver Efex Pro for my monochrome pictures, then back to Lightroom if I choose to do some dodging and burning to help create focus in specific areas.

[@BigBert]

Mate, you have an amazing eye for street photography. Well done I’m really enjoying your channel 😎👏🏻👏🏻

[@rogerbrooksfilms]

Thank you very much for the kind feedback and encouragement. ✌️

Loving this channel Roger

[@rogerbrooksfilms]

Glad that you’re digging it mate, much appreciated. ✌️

[@SpyderWayne]

Awesome Roger !!! For those of us who's early childhood years were captured in black and white photos, these photos brings back memories... but I also kept giggling... seeing so many people in your shots, ignoring their surroundings with their noses in their phones 😁😂 Oh I wish I had half your photography talent and knowledge 👊😎👍

[@rogerbrooksfilms]

Thank you for the kind words, sir. I am fascinated by monochrome images, particularly ones from decades ago. I wish that I photographed in my youth, I am now trying to document my time in the hope of being able to fondly look back upon them into the future. ✌️

[@NicholasJankovic]

I don't know what camera setup you were using at the start of this video - but WOW, it looked absolutely brilliant. Love the philosophy of that camera, and terrific photos in the second half mate.

[@rogerbrooksfilms]

Appreciate the kind feedback mate. The video was shot with my Fujifilm X-H2 using only window light. The X100 series is fantastic, I believe that the next one will be released before the middle of the year?

As an X-T4 user who wants an X-100vi I wish the D pad was still around

[@rogerbrooksfilms]

@@jrnehoc I hear ‘ya. One of the reasons why I got the X-T5 was the d-pad, although to be honest with both the X-Pro3 and X100VI I’m now used to not having it.

[@MikeLeePhoto]

Hi mate great vid ! just got my near mint x100F a few weeks ago and itching to get into Sydney myself to give it a good tryout! I'm mainly a Canon shooter.

[@rogerbrooksfilms]

Thanks mate! Awesome to hear about your X100F, get in there and have fun with it, its a fantastic camera!

[@fulltang1]

Hey bud nice stuff! Whats the recipe you're using?

[@rogerbrooksfilms]

Thanks, much appreciated. These were Acros JPEG’s and then some minor global adjustments to each image. To be honest I can’t remember the exact tweaks within the camera to enhance the Acros effect.

Why do most people pronounce V as "v"? It's Latin for 5.......…

[@rogerbrooksfilms]

I call it ‘v’ because almost everyone else does. If they were calling it 5 then I would call it 5. That’s why I say Vi instead of 6.
