Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter #1

Hong Kong

This is the first one of a series from a day's work using my new Fuji S3Pro and Nikkor 17-55 lens.
Never had a lens as expensive as this one and its super high contrast needs a little bit getting used to.

FujiFilm FinePix S3 Pro ,Nikkor AF-S 17-55 f2.8 DX
1/30s f/9.5 at 55.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Fantastic DR in this picture, the S3 works very well!

Yes I do, Hina. As a fresh user, I think the S3Pro produces phenomenal colors and tones, even when shooting in RAW and AdobeRGB.

Thanks, René, Gary, Linda and Larry. Linda, appreciate your comments. It was quite a hazy day when I took the shot. The afternoon sun in summer was strong and was obscured by some clouds. There came all of a sudden a burst of golden light and lit up the far background as the sun became low enough to emerge from the clouds when I took this picture. I had deliberately lowered the contrast of the image as I am not too used to such high contrast scene in my work. When I viewed it in my office this morning, the image appears a bit flat. I'll try to re-work on it again.

Wonderful!!!

Very interesting scene. Did you use the shadows/highlight feature in PS? If so, perhaps a bit too much. It's very tricky, and tastes vary. For me, I'd have liked the buildings in the background a bit darker. But it's a terrific scene. Best of luck with the new camera.
