The story

After a busy, noisy day in Brussels, today was the time to slow down and take a calm walk on a sunny day, manually focusing the Mitakon lens on the widely praised X-E2 with its amazing sensor. A new film simulation recipe today: on sunny days, black and white always looks good, especially with a red filter effect. I even spotted some angry birds today!

Tiger and Turtle - Magic Mountain is an art installation and landmark in Duisburg, Germany, built in 2011.

Duisburg 🇩🇪

Duisburg is a city in the Ruhr metropolitan area of the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Lying on the confluence of the Rhine and the Ruhr rivers in the center of the Rhine-Ruhr Region, Duisburg is one of the largest cities in North Rhine-Westphalia and the 15th-largest city in Germany.

The story

Wow, it has been almost three years since I last used the LomoChrome Metropolis film simulation recipe! I programmed it into the X-S10 and went to the Tiger & Turtle roller coaster and the city of Duisburg for some gloomy, grungy, overcast shots.

Köln (Cologne) 🇩🇪

Cologne is the largest city of Germany's most populous state of North Rhine-Westphalia and it is the most populous city of both the Rhine-Ruhr Metropolitan Region and the Rhineland.

The story

I was in the mood to take my good old Fujifilm X-E2 out on a date today, so I did! Unfortunately, my 23mm lens had some issues, so I paired it with the 50mm instead. That combo requires a city with enough ‘room’ for a full-frame equivalent 77mm field of view – so Cologne it was!

The gear

Camera:
Fujifilm X-E2

Camera lens:
Fujinon XF 50mm f/2 R WR

Camera lens filter:
Tiffen Black Pro-Mist Filter 1/4

Leverkusen 🇩🇪

Leverkusen is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, on the eastern bank of the Rhine. To the south, Leverkusen borders the city of Cologne, and to the north the state capital, Düsseldorf.

The story

A new month, a new city. This time, I visited the city of Leverkusen. Not very much to do, so it was a pretty disappointing day. Better luck next time!
