Title: Downtown Detail
Post by: Longhiker on January 18, 2016, 05:11:10

A truly dismal day with a hard drizzle. That's just a little less than a driving rain. As such, there were almost no people in this very busy part of town. Once an industrial area that became a decaying part of town, it is slowly being rebuilt into condos, new small shops, and a new city park. The horse statue is outside the carousel building in the park. The loading dock for the grain store is one of the few remaining traces of the old businesses.

Fujifilm X-E1 and 18-55mm lens.

Nice images. How do you find the CCD sensor compare to a CMOS sensor.

Great how the old industrial things are becoming fashionable. I like the mood it creates.

Thanks. It was definitely interesting standing in pouring rain. Gary, I'm not so sure about the question. I've had good results with both, but I think the last CCD sensor I had was the Nikon D200. That was a long time ago. I'm not really the best one to be able to describe the differences, unless I had the two types side by side and maybe not even then. I believe CMOS has better low light performance. I've forgotten the other differences.
