Exploring Edinburgh with the Fujifilm X-T2

[ad_1]

Recently I returned to Edinburgh for the first time in more than seven years and, honestly, I forgot how much I love this city. The capital of Scotland is based on the remains of an extinct volcano, evident by the huge castle that dominates the horizon and the seat of Arthur hidden in view just after the Holyrood palace. The old town of Edinburgh is full of medieval buildings, home pubs and almost many memories of memories. At ground level, the new city is full of Georgian buildings and all its standard High Street stores. Wherever you look, there is something to get your attention and point your camera.

As I was only in Edinburgh for two days, I tried to pack my camera as light as possible. It is really not a problem with the Fujifilm X-T2, since nothing weighs. Most of the time this was combined with the primary lens of 23 mm f/2 that, as I said so many times, is really the perfect combination. I wore two other lenses with me; On 10-24 mm f/4 and 56 mm f/1.2. I love a wide angle lens to capture architecture. Edinburgh is full of incredible buildings and colorful streets that lend themselves to that great angle distortion! Most of the photos I took in Edinburgh were actually with the great angle lens. I took the 56 mm lens, which is a fantastic portrait lens, just to see how it was achieved in the streets. It does not focus so fast, so it is not ideal. However, even in f/1.2 you find that the subject really appears! I discovered that my JPEG configuration, mostly classic chrome, perfectly captured the rustic sensation of Edinburgh.

If you have not been in Edinburgh yet, I hope these photos make sure they reserve them!
