Meet and Greet with Perth's Fujifilm X Shooters

A few of us from Perth who connected on the Fujifilm X Australia Photographers Facebook community decided to have our first meet and greet. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon to be walking around Perth. As none of us had met before, we decided to meet at the most iconic sculpture at Elizabeth Quay. We spent a bit of time introducing ourselves, talking about how we got into photography and more specifically how we fell in love with the Fujifilm X series of cameras. It was a great to get to meet and get to know strangers who share a passion for photography as a hobby. A bit thank you to the very passionate and enthusiast Gustavo for organising a lovely afternoon meet up.

We started out casual photowalk from Elizabeth Quay, up to the recently closed Green House Restaurant along St Georges Terrace. The defunct building made for some interesting shots. We walked further down the terrace to the Cathedral Square precinct. The COMO Treasury, Church and new City of Perth Library always makes for great subjects and places to photograph in the city. Our last spot of the day before we parted ways was a brief walk through Stirling Gardens next to Perth Council House.

All my shots were taken with my Fujifilm X-T10 and XF 35mm f1.4 combination of camera and lens. It's not a common configuration I take out but it was the perfect match for a bit of street photography for the day. I also decided to process all my shots in black and white with a small amount of grain. There's something about the combination of black and white and street shooting.

It was a great experience getting together with other passionate photographers. While we might all have wildly different day jobs, our mutual passion for creativity and photography has connected us together. I'm looking forward to the next meet up in Perth. Thanks for stopping by today.
