F4 test shots 2

These are some photographs from the Nikon F4. Still learning and getting a grip with the F4. All the photographs were shot with the FujiFilm Superia X-tra 400. The lens is Nikon's popular nifty Fifty, the Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm 1.8D.

The photographs that are in black and white were converted in iPhoto. Again I don't have the exposure details, but that will soon be solved as I have gotten myself a notebook to jot down exposure details.  :)

Something you don't see very often, sewing machine. I shot this thru the open window of a car.

The rest of the photographs were shot at the Beitou Hot Spring area here in Taipei. It is a beautiful park with a public library.

The public library.

Hot water stream...

At the park

I was at the Yangming Mountain Qianshan Park when I stumbled on this quaint little street just outside the park. A couple of interesting shops selling local produce and a few eateries. Very local...

All the photographs were shot with the Fuji XE2 and the Fuji 35mm f1.4R lens. I am trying to see if I can live with shooting at 50mm full frame (35mm crop).

All the photographs were shot at ISO 800.
