Rendezvous

Full title: 'Rondezvous in Old San Juan'

My experience with the X-Pro1 is giving me some idea of what it was like to be a photojournalist with a rangefinder in the heyday of photojournalism. This is the photography I grew up admiring.

Hey Jim, Voyeurism eh? :biggrin: This is great. I hadn't heard of Fuji's new camera, but just checked it out. Sure looks and sounds like fun. I've always enjoyed this "street photography" kind of imagery, just never very adapt at doing it.

I could see doing some kind of vignette blur to continue on with that blurred object in the LL.

good stuff.

Nice composition and leading lines.

If nature takes its course, we may soon have the birth of another photographer ! :toast:

Jim, this image, which is well done, brings back memories of street shooting. Have not done any for years. Thanks for sharing.

It also works if you crop off everything from the right of the sign. Often, less is more. Nicely seen and captured.

Beautifully captured and processed. I've always loved looking at this kind of photography. Kent's crop suggestion would work nicely, too.

Thanks for all the supportive comments. The crop suggestion is a good one and would definitely highlight the central subject more strongly, but I do like keeping the overall 'sense of place' that the wider framing gives.
