Harrow-on-The Hill

I enjoyed the day out today in Harrow-on-The Hill.

Getting there should’ve been quite easy from Baker Street. However, the trains were not running today so I had to get the Jubilee line all the way to Wembley Park and then the Bus replacement service. No big deal, I was able to create some interesting images along the way.

Today I left home with two beautiful Fuji Cameras; The X-T1. Each Camera was prepared with an even more beautiful optical Lens;t he XF18mm F2 & the stunning 35mm F1.4.

It is my shooting policy and workflow to leave home with two camera bodies and two Lens that compliment each other. I find the 18mm F2 & the XF35mm 1.4 make perfect set-up,

Working with a Wide-Angle Lens allowed me to get close to people and surprisingly very deceptive with creating images up close. When I was on the train it became a stealth mode observation of people and there habits

I feel very comfortable using the XF18mm F2. This is my natural visual expression.

I went to Harrow today to meet up with some d friends. It was very nice seeing them again.

The 18 mm is a fantastic Lens for shooting Portraits of more than two people. The image of Abraham and his wife Susanna perfect with the XF18mm F2; I shot this at F4, 1/200 sec, with an ISO at 640.

The only time I used the 35mm 1.4 today was for this lovely natural window light Portrait of Susanna.

I did a black and white conversion just to see how the Fuji files Render; I love it.

Harrow is an interesting part of London. It feels really different and yet it is in Zone 5, just on the outskirts of London.

I felt satisfied with my day of shooting; even more so knowing that my system for my Street Photography is set in a wonderful and fluid way of operating.

Today has been good, I am greatfull.

Thanks for reading.
