"until the night..."

So here is the new tool ! Well, in your hands, whatever the tool, it's your style i find back everytime and that's great ;) I love the heavy structure that seems so light here upon the couple presence. And the fact they pass just in the circle of light as you click is the icing on the pic. Stairs on lower left part, lines & light above, work for a beautifully harmonious architecture of the image itself in this verticality evoking the new HK you document with such an equal quality. Clap-clap.

What an incredible intensity this has . . the two lonely figures seem to be carrying their own pool of light with them . . perhaps we all do that in cities.

A capture relally beautiful. I like compo, light and details

clear and well captured....and the framing is just perfect!

Incredibly good ! I love the mix of various tonalities, the feeling that the night lights are "naturally" rendered.
And your eye can be considered as the main argument for convincing us about the qualities of this new body.
This one seems very close to the X-Pro 1 in his specifications but smaller and maybe a better choice for a second camera, is that correct ?

WAOUH !!! You're still the master of the night !!!So beautiful !

clever construction of picture Hugo ! excellent rendering of light and different colors at night, different structures, beautiful mood with the solitary couple captured in the spotlight !

Great night shot! Excellent composition with this couple walking in the light!

It was necessary to wait until she should pass into the light ...I am also impressed with the nuances of color, colorimetry very well done!

What a virtuosity!

I'm guessing this is the wide open aperture of the kit zoom lens (18mm - 55mm), and how very well it renders the scene. Very very noise free and we have yet to see what you produce at even higher iso speeds. This new piece of kit whilst still having the retro styling may well appeal to a larger group of people happy with a decent electronic viewfinder and a compromised back screen, which will still get comparatively little use.
The picture is a tribute to your passion for the night and your patience in waiting, waiting just for that moment when the couple step into the night.
Perhaps I ought to pray to Santa Claus!

Great compo and mood Hugo !

Coldness and warmth, it could be seen as the subject so it is well rendered. Or steel and glass by the night lights. This is a very modern architecture and very fun to work with.

This is great Hugo - perfect moment as they pass under the light.
So - time for an upgrade, or has the firmware update on your current model helped?

Beautiful compo and capture of the night lights.

Hugo it matters not the camera it is your vision which is once again wonderful, although that said it doeds look a great and ideal street camera.

Thank you for replying, Mr. Poon.

As not being a member of Animus3, you can't reach me from my comment. You will have to go through here, if you wish : http://arrday.com .
Humbly, the pictures I post on my website already date back to 2010. I wanted a buffer of pictures to compensate for the periods I cannot be active enough in photoshoting. I pay the price : since then my approach has changed a lot. But I will see as to catch back. Actually, my approach has come to be similar to yours. That is probably why I can refer to your work, visually and emotionnaly. Beside the fact that I am urban by nature. Anyways, thank you for your Hong Kong stills, full of life and denoting your affection for your city. I will keep posted for more, for sure.

Arr.

By now I'm certain Fuji is providing you corporate undergarments ; ]
Nice spotlight on the peeps as they saunter along their way. best…jf

J'aime ce genre d'ambiance.
Tu photographies admirablement les villes la nuit.
Tu es passé du x-pro1 au xE1, la qualité de l'image reste au rendez vous. Y a t-il de grosses différences au niveau du viseur électronique?

fabulous graphics

"until the night..." we walk and walk ...Very beautiful urban shot

you really know the exact heart beat of the city my friend !! this is an exciting shot !

excellent timing and fabulous composition

F1.8 and yet the over-all focus around the scene is so beautiful..! Fantastic street shot, btw. The eye lurks around the heavy urban construction all over this photograph until one notices the walking couple that brings in harmony into this photograph.

Hey Hugo, I'm just curious here - how long would you have waited at this point for a couple to come in and gift you the wonderful opportunity to make this photograph? Just plain curious, btw.

A wonderful image where depth of field, magic combination of lights and the superb composition detail of the pair passing under the light all combine splendidly.

Leave to you Hugo to post a classic cityscape enveloped in the mystery and intrigue of night. From top to bottom, every nook and cranny of your image lures the eye and mind to examine at length the details contained within. I know you are excited about your new camera, but it is the talent behind the lens that makes the art :^)

Magnifique et superbement composé!

So many different layers of glass, concrete and light. This is a brilliant shot Hugo!

Wonderful composition and so well seen to atch the man and the woman just there in the light from the lamp.

Great mood, Hugo

Your skill and the new camera are a winning team, Hugo! This is gorgeous.

Great shot Hugo. Still loving my X Pro1 and really love the optical viewfinder. You obviously feel the evf is great so now you got me curious.
