I love traveling.

Maddie and I just got back from a crazy three week adventure shooting a session in France, an Indian wedding in Kenya, and an elopement in Italy. Before the trip, I bought a Fuji X100 in hopes that it would inspire me to shoot more personal photos. I’m incredibly impressed with this little camera and so grateful that I was able to grab it before the trip. 90% of these photos are from the X100 and a lot of them simply wouldn’t have been made with a bulky SLR.

Fantastic photos with that Fuji, Congratulations

Superb photography. Would love to do a safari, defo on my bucket list.

I just want to mention I’m very new to blogging and site-building and certainly savored this web page. Likely I’m planning to bookmark your blog post . You certainly come with awesome article content. Thanks for revealing your webpage.

Seeing these makes me want to shoot more with my Fuji X100 – great pictures! thanks for showing

Also just got myself an x100. They come cheap with the x100s out, and with the firmware update the cameras are practically the same. It is the perfect travel/snapshot camera. Great photos throughout.

I have a question for you about the camera. All of your edits have this beautiful film grain to them. I am assuming that this is due to post production. But before I assume, does it have anything to do with the camera? My only guess is you could have been shooting with a high ISO to achieve it. But again, I am assuming that it is all do to post production.

Wowee. I’m selling my EOS M / 22mm for the rangefinder-esque X100s and wanted to see how VSCO made the images look (shot by someone who knows what they’re doing I’ll add). Lovely organic feel with done with VSCO!

Your pictures are gorgeous and Europe is such an amazingly beautiful place to take pictures.

Hi Benji!
Those photos are gorgeous! I can’t believe you did them just with Fuji x100! Can I ask you if you used anything more apart from VSCO film? :) 3rd picture from the top is rad!

these are so incredible…

[…] If you want to see some examples of the original X100′s dynamic range in the hands of a great photographer check out Benj Haisch’s blog. […]

Just had an X100 delivered myself yesterday (on the same day I see it that an X200 is coming soon. Doh! haha!) for the same reasons as you mate. Hoping it will get me out shooting every day like I was when I first moved out to Australia. Really digging the shots you captured here, especially the Paris & Rome ones. The black + white of the alley (about 10 from bottom) and the image of the Colosseum with the Christmas tree are really great! Fab work as always Benj. x

Loved the photos benj, keep shooting with that damn thing!

These photos pushed me to get an X100. Thanks :)

love these shots benj – I just picked up an X10 which I am loving as a walk around camera

amazing pics! Makes me miss Kenya!

Love the Paris sequence. Nice grainy retro vibe to it. Well done.

Hey Benj,

Awesome pics.. i see you’re using the VSCO plugin. I swear at one point you used Alien Skin Plugin. Do you still use it or have you totally switched over to VSCO?

Awesome photos (and use of VSCO Film!).

Really great shots, I’m definitely going to invest in an X100 for travel!

My heart is shredded by these photos. Great work!

Absolutely stunning photos. Great work with the X100 and I’m jealous you got to visit such beautiful places!

Great photos!!! May I know which VSCO Standard film emulation preset did you use for these photos? Thanks

These are amazing. Not just because you have that X100 though. <3 the couple on the bridge in Paris.

Mesmerised. – You must be nackered!

I’m so jealous of your travels! These photos are phenomenal, glad I can live vicariously through you!

Great shots Benj. And looks like the trip of a lifetime. Just need to get me an X100 and a good trip booked now! Thanks for sharing as ever.

My hubby treated me to an x100 for Christmas, but you’ve sold me on a long and lovely vacation. Breathtaking images, lovely compositions. Dapper coat in Paris, too!

You totally sold me on a x100 with these!

Wow, the x100 is incredible, a very beautiful machine, and a precious images

Just incredible – your photos have such an incredible quality to them

sweet as a nut!!!! =)

a very nice trip and pictures indeed

so impressive man, looks like a sweet trip

beautiful, benj. thanks for sharing. the lone tree in the field somehow stood out to me and i had to keep going back to it again and again.

Argh! Now I want an X100 even more.

Really enjoyed this post, rad shots dude!

You saw some incredible things… Thanks for sharing, Benj. :)

A fantastic set, for this kind of photography the x100 is perfection

Amazing, Benji! So nice to finally see a decent set of images with the X100…I have my eye on it!

Wow. Incredible images. Glad to see another photographer taken by the X100. I’m in love with mine!

I remember I told you some months back that I knew you would KILL with an X100, glad to see I was right. So, so right.

Damn Benj. These images are so good. Looks like you guys had an amazing time, way to document it so beautifully.

WOW those are incredible and so legit with the X100 I dont think I’ve seen really what it’s shots look like, I love it! hope you guys had an amazing trip together!!

Benj, so good. Looks like an absolutely awesome trip and a great time.

Beyond awesome. I especially love the picture with the birds. That shot could be award-winning in my book. Its so cool that the Lord blessed you with such an epic time of traveling. He knows your heart and blessed you! Seeing all the portrait and wedding pics will be rad. Take care!

Superb stuff here, Benj!
