ChiILX1 Posted March 24, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 24, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Looking back from the time I got my X1 last Summer, I've got some amazing memories and pictures. Now that Spring and Summer 2011 are on their way- what are everyone's favorite times they used their X1, their favorite shots from using it, and things you are most looking forward to using it for this Spring & Summer? For me, I like just walking and biking around my city, Chicago, X1 slung around my shoulder. I love taking it to neighborhood festivals, the beach, and on bicycle rides. Coolest moment with my X1: I was waiting in line at Lollapalooza and saw the sign "NO professional cameras* or other recording equipment *defined as any camera with interchangeable lenses" DSLR owners were sent home, and even someone ahead of me with an NEX-_ Meanwhile I got some amazing photos from that festival, as seen on my photostream: Summer 2010 - a set on Flickr Anyway, I thought it would be great to start getting pumped up a bit collectively.

wda Posted March 24, 2011 Share #2 Posted March 24, 2011 I find that both Spring and Autumn are inspiring seasons. However, I find the X1 such a competent companion that I seem to use it at any time, often for the challenge of an unpromising or difficult situation when exciting subjects elude me.

ChiILX1 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted March 28, 2011 Not so springy today (33-35 before wind) but had a blast using the X1 walking throughout the city with my folks and my girlfriend- Vivian Maier exhibit, AIC, and a gorgeous city in between. Spring 2011 This is going to be an awesome Spring & Summer with the X1! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jippiejee Posted March 28, 2011 Share #4 Posted March 28, 2011 Spring's pretty for photography for sure, I love bringing my X1 while walking the neighborhood and shoot plenty. When ending up a small tour for beers it always amazes me how Leica is still such a conversation piece. Older guys walking up to my table asking to see my digital X1 Leica and telling about how their M's always used to be their favorites. Always interesting conversations about travel and photography... and more beers to enjoy. The love for one's equipment is always a part of the psychology of photography. And Leicas are not hard to love. One guy I met yesterday had his M6 with him... touching it was falling in love really. Want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
