SUMMER VIBES II: USING THE FUJIFILM X100F IN LA COSTA BRAVA

Few weeks ago I got a new camera (secondhand tho because I like giving live to otherwise forgotten items). The camera I got is the one and only Fujifilm X100F; compact APS-C sensor camera with a non-interchangeable 23mm f/2.0 lens (that equals more or less a 35mm) perfect mostly for street and travel photography hence why I ended up choosing it.

Yesterday July 20th we went out with some friends to La Costa Brava. This time we went to S’Agaró and Calonge. The photos that you can see down below were exclusively taken during the walk at S’Agaró Camí de Ronda.

I am still trying to get used to its focal length mainly because I’ve been using a 35mm (on an APS-C which equals more or less a 50mm) for the last three years or so and it’s still a challenge for me to get to think on the new focal length. Anyways, no more talking for today and hope you enjoy the photos.

SUMMER VIBES: A MORNING IN LA COSTA BRAVA

‘After a storm comes a rainbow’
The few last weekends weren’t what were supposed to be.
If you’ve ever been to Barcelona (and even lived here) you will know that when the warm weather comes in, everyone is out in a terrace having ‘tapas’ and beers (or Sangría) and laying down in a beach by the sun. But this time, May has been pretty grey and cold and has taken some weeks to get to that beloved point; but finally, last weekend was THE weekend.
We didn’t thought it twice. Hop on the car and Saturday Sun Roadtrip Time it was. Hit the road to Costa Brava and there was no turning back.

Despite forgetting the swimsuits at home because our first plan was to go for a walk on the Camí de Ronda -recommended lovely hiking path that goes by the shore- and not touching the water even once, we had a blast of a day. Our destination of choice was Blanes and its Marimurtra Botanic Garden with a Fideuà for lunch at the only restaurant in front the Cala de Sant Francesc.

Song of the day was Al Mar by Manel
