Looking for Light / X-Pro2 & 18mm

I was recently in Europe and spent almost all the time with the X-Pro2 and the original (and still one the best) 18mm F2 lens.

I'm a great believer that a good picture is made up of good light, composition and moment.  Its not always possible, of course, to get all three of those - especially when shooting candidly on the streets.

I have a selection of images here though that I like, and I like primarily because of the light.

In order to shoot these images, I generally spot meter, record the exposure and dial it in manually.

All these images were shot with X-Pro2 and the 18mm lens and I really believe that that lens is one of the most underrated in the Fuji line up.

Mostly the images were shot in late afternoon when the light was good and warm.
