A few weeks back we decided to take a quick trip to Gdansk, Poland. I had high hopes of getting some great street photos, still inspired by our time in Malaga this summer, but the weather was mostly rainy and cold — and perhaps, more importantly, my creative drive and inspiration weren’t present.

I decided to only bring the Fuji X100f and it’s really nice to just focus on taking pictures, not think about switching lenses etc. I mostly kept the camera at f/4-5.6 and shutter and iso on auto. The photos were processed in Capture One using my basic custom style based on the Astia film simulation.

As I walked the cobblestoned streets I felt my creativity dwindle and growing frustration over not being able to create some nice shots at all. But I kept on shooting anyway and looking back at them now in Capture One I must have done something right because I find quite a few I’m pretty happy with.

So here are some shots from that day in Gdansk (yes, we only stayed for one whole day) and leave a comment down below.

The Townhall of Gdansk. Looks like a church though.

The Apocalypse – good times, good times.

There are plenty of good local beer in Gdansk, and Poland in general.
