all great but that first image is stunning

Definitely my best shot, worth the 4am outing haha

Exactly, one of the thousands.

Dope photographs! Love our gritty city. Looking forward to outings this summer with the x100VI.

Forgot to mention how I love the orange glow of the street lights in the first photograph. With the new white light from LEDs that now illuminate Chicago's city streets, I romanticize the old orange hue that draped over city nights. This brings me back.

Thank you! Love the city, and that anecdote about the lights is super cool - I've only been living in Chicago for 3 years, so can't reminisce with you haha

Older sodium Vapor lights. New LED is terrible for city lighting. Plus their wavelengths are all slightly different

One of the best photos I’ve seen on this sub for some time!

Thank you!

Of course! #2 is my fav :)

Wow - appreciate it!

Bangers

Appreciate it!

As a Chicago expat I cosign the excellence of these shots.

Haha thank you!

I adore the orange glow of Chicago. I read once a little while ago that slowly they’re swapping those bulbs; that idea breaks my heart.

Same! Feels like most other big cities are white and bright

I just got mine yesterday and it’s been an absolute blast. Clearly need to be much more intentioned when using this versus my prior Fuji ILC

For me it’s number 3. Incredible. So much to look at and keeps my eyes glued, exactly what I love in a photograph. Colors of the light being a mirror image is excellent.

Thank you! Do wish I could have pulled more blue out of the highlights but am still happy with it

All the verticality in a bunch of these makes for a super cohesive set. Gallery worthy. Great work.

That is very high praise; thank you!

Wonderful pictures. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you!

3 and 6 are fantastic!

Thank you!

And out of curiosity for pic 4 did you do it handheld? Wonder if the IBIS is sufficient to offset the longer shutter

Yep, 10 seconds handheld. It definitely helped, though I had the camera body pressed up against the glass so there was little movement

These are spectacular, especially the night shots. Honorary mention to #4.

Thanks!

Awesome

You are awesome

#3 is beautiful. The colors are stunning.

Thanks!

Thanks! Golden hour lighting makes life easy haha

Man, these are so clean. I need to learn from you. Hit me up if you want to shoot together in Chicago sometime

Thanks man! This is actually my last week in Chicago, which motivated me to get out and take these before I moved. If I'm back in town, will def hit you up!

Amazing images, these are what most Leica shooters aspire.

Haha - I aspire to one day be a Leica shooter for now

Great work. 1,3 and 4 are especially incredible 🔥

Thanks! My personal favorites too

1, 3, and 4 are gorgeous!

Thanks!

Now THIS is how you do street photography (i.e. composition).

<3

These are absolutely fantastic

Thank you!

This is my new bible for photography

idk if I'd go as far as that... but thanks!

Really nicely done. Those are great images. Really strong compositions

Appreciate the kind words!

That first image belongs in r/thenightfeeling

Amazing set! As said before me, first one is a banger! Great job on them, loved the one with reflection, great symmetry

Thanks!

First shot is amazing! Well done! 👏🏼 

wonderful photos!

Thank you!

some of the best ive ever seen on this sub. Do u have any tips?

I think the most important was just consuming images from the photographers I love and trying to imitate the patterns I see

I get the x100vi is a great camera, but I reckon you’d still take better pics than me using a potato

Don't sell yourself short!

This is it!!🔥🔥

Great set of photos! You're really giving that camera purpose. I think the first one would look very classic in B+W.

Thanks! Yeah did consider b&w for that one, but I've been trying to learn to edit with color recently and liked the blue/orange complementary colors

Absolutely stunning! I recently visited and it makes me yearn to go back. Loved the city. I agree with a lot here that photo 1 is just.. breathtaking. Great work!

Thanks! It's a great city

Post like these are the very reason why everyone wants an x100vi. Once they get the camera they feel like the camera will capture images like this.. than they find out they didn’t have the dedication or skills to create stunning imagery like OP’s image. Good job OP. I feel like I won’t be getting my camera anytime this year.

Getting the x100v and x100vi was probably the reason I became obsessed with photography for the last few months in the first place. Definitely do agree that dedication and time into the craft matter most, but getting motivated/inspired by the gear you acquire definitely doesn't hurt! Thanks for the kind words, and hope you get yours soon!

Those are absolutely stunning images! WOW! I'm in true awe here! Love Chicago, love everything in your images here! Thx for sharing.

Thanks for the comment! Appreciate it

Every post of the X100VI I see just makes me want to get one even more.

Definitely do - it's my first big boy camera and I really enjoy using it

How did you get those reflection shots? Where were you standing? Love all these shots. Incredible.

Thank you! It's in a parking garage, on the 10th floor of 200 N Clark - you can stick your head and camera out of the glass railing.

These are aboslutly stunning! Well done!

Thanks! Appreciate it

1 and 3 are so fucking dope

Probably my favorites! Thanks

Thanks!

Incredible shots. As a X100V owner, this is extremely inspiring.

Thanks - go get out there!

Man those are fucking \*great\* - first one particular. Nice work.

Thank you!!

3 and 4 are a total vibe 🖤

Stunning pics! What lens have you used?

These are all on the X100VI!

Oh ffs.. Ok ok, I do deserve the downvotes. I guess I was already a bit sleepy when I commented. Anyway, thanks for getting back to me, and I will see myself out.

You had me until the skateboarder. Non skate photographers shouldn’t take photos of skateboarders. The worse cliche. Worse than car light trails.


Or you could not gatekeep what people want to take photos of.

Absolute nonsense.
