Once a year local people in the remote and isolated island of Mykines (with

only nine residents), in The Faroe Islands, are hunting gannets.

 

Gannet hunting is today only practiced in Mykines, Faroe Islands, and in

Northern Scotland today.

What makes this work for me is the nice perspective you achieved with the wide angle 35mm. Being close up to the bird with the scene expanding out behind it is nice.  How ya like the Fuji?

Thanks for your critique, Barry.

 

I love the Fujifilm X100s, and i mean really love it. I've been using Canon, Nikon and back to Canon the last 25 years, so i was a little in doubt when seperating from my old companions and switching to one single semi-compact camera.

 

I've only had the Fuji for a month, and it's absolutely a stunning camera. Bang for the bucks, beautiful build quality, so compact that i end up taking it with me everywhere i go (even my daily travel to work, which i never have done with a big DSLR with an L-zoom attached), fantastic image quality and it makes photography so much more fun.

 

I've always been a zoom-man, meaning that i've always owned and used zoom lenses.
Going to a fixed lens has made me think a bit more when composing images before pulling the trigger. That's a invaluable lesson that i also has been given with a fixed lens, i now have to move my feet to re-compose the picture, and that's what makes me reflect over the scenes.

 

The Fujifilm X100s is a camera, that you didn't know you did need, and by time you sure will grow attached to it, and love it very much.
