On the late Sunday afternoon I’ve decided to grab the camera and go for a short walk – just before the basketball game which was starting on 5:30 pm. Because I usually get up late during weekend I have just a few hours of daylight to take photos during winter. The same was that Sunday, when I left home it was already getting dark. Nowadays with a good digital camera that’s not a big problem – you have to operate on the lowest aperture, and high ISO values. I’m quite prepared for the winter and low light conditions. Fuji X100 is great in low light when used wisely, and ISO 1600 and even 3200 is quite usable in that camera. I\m also prepared with the analogue cameras – I’ve loaded Konica Auto S3 with the Trix forced to ISO 800 which is quite a good value when used in brighter areas e.g. from the shop windows when shooting the street during the night.
Below are photos taken on Sunday during a short 1,5h walk around the Old Town Market Place, where they put up Christmas Fair and the Christmas Tree already. After warming with a hot wine bought at the one of the stands, I took some photos wandering around. There is also a photo taken at the Castle Square where you can see first two levels of the traditional Warsaw\s Xmas tree.
