We just returned from a four-day trip to New York City where we celebrated my sister-in-law’s engagement. Since this trip was more about family and enjoying the city, I approached it a bit differently from a photography perspective. Instead of looking for grand cityscapes, I focused mostly on capturing details of the city. And instead of bringing all my gear, I packed the X100S and a Fujinon Wide Conversion Lens that I rented. While I was initially apprehensive about leaving the X-Pro1 behind, I was soon reminded of just how versatile the X100S is as a travel camera. Here are some of my favorite images captured while we explored the streets of New York City.

    Hi Steven,

    Love you site and images! Were you able to use a tripod in Grand Central station?

      Thanks Charles for the comment and feedback. I didn’t actually try to set up a full tripod in Grand Central. Instead I found a ledge and used a Joby Micro 800 to get a couple long exposures.
