F2.0 overlooking a road in Shenzhen

A bridge over a busy road, Shenzhen, China, X100F

Shot at f/2.0 from a bridge over a busy Shenzhen road — the wide aperture compresses depth and throws the layers of the city into a softened relationship. The X100F’s 23mm lens at this aperture produces gentle out-of-focus rendering without a clinical quality. Monochrome holds the tonal transitions cleanly through the frame rather than competing colours pulling the eye in multiple directions.

During a recent hike in Craig County, Virginia, we were startled by this bear. I would have been happy if the bear had a been real, but this was a thrill, too!
