LUTETIA - Travels in France with the X100 | Trains
Thursday, July 7, 2011 at 7:00 AM 
We leave our hotel room in Montmartre early Monday morning and head for the Gare de Lyon. The streets of Paris are strangely quiet and still wet from the evening's rain. Our cab driver drops us off in an underground parking that smells like piss. People spend their nights here. People with nowhere else to go. SDFs. Reduced to an acronym.
We've got a seven hour ride in front of us. The TGV to Montpellier, then a hot and steamy regular ol' train to Carcassonne.
As we speed southwards, everything changes.
Next: Carcassonne

Patrick, these are just fantastic...and your post processing perfectly suits each image. I will be looking out for a tutorial of one or two of your favorite processes! ;)
I am in the process of reluctantly whittling down my camera and lens collection, save for the X100...I feel a need to simplify in the extreme and regroup-both creatively and financially-it's a daunting process of sorts, but I feel that it's necessary. The fact is X100 is the only camera I have really been enjoying using in a long time and, in fact, it's the only camera I've used since I received it a couple of months ago. Anyway, your work is very encouraging in the midst of this tedious process and is a constant reminder of what this little quirky gem is capable of! Thanks for sharing!
Another great series... I think I need to travel soon... and I think I need an X100 :)
Once again....Awesome! I just love the look of these, I'll be playing around later with Nik Efex and Aperture to see if I'll can get anywhere close with my x100 jpeg's. Thanks again for sharing these!
Thank you all for the great comments :)
If I didn't need the rest of my gear for professional work I'd be tempted to do the same. I'm just not reaching for my DSLR anymore unless it's a job. Never thought I'd get to this point...
And then you'll be really poor just like me :)

Dude, why do you have to do this to me?!?! Not only are you making me want this camera more and more with every post you make, but you are also making me really want a holiday! Keep it up man!
Bah, go ahead and splurge — I'm sure you deserve it ;)
Thank man
