Yesterday, The Significant Other and I visited the fantastic exhibition of dutch painter Anton van Dyck in Genoa’s Palazzo Ducale. After, we went for some errands in Via XX Settembre. And while the wife went into a clothing store, I stood under the arcades of La Superba’s principal shopping mile, snapping away at the passing faces of the street. I used my Fuji X-T50 and the Fujinon Super EBC XC 1:2.8-4.8/16-50mm R LM WR. And what can I say, the tiny camera/lens combo basically went unnoticed by the passing people.

I hope you enjoyed those glimpses into random Italian street life. I thoroughly enjoyed myself (as did The Significant Other doing her shopping). The camera was set to aperture priority (basically I was using f/6.4 or f/7.1) and AUTO ISO 6400 with an assigned minimum shutter speed 1/500 sec. ACROS film simulation. Jpgs out of camera, no post-processing aside from some cropping. The beauty of the 40,2 MP sensor of the APS-C camera is that it not only renders beautifully, but also leaves plenty room for cropping with its image size of 7728 x 5152 pixels.
