For me. The contrast works. I like to see some Black and some White.
Thank you kindly Sir, I much appreciate you taking the time to reply & comment.

Just a simple candid street style shot taken of a young lady concentrating on taking a snap with her compact camera.
After following & admiring another street photographers work (not on TP) I'm slowly trying to think outside the box so to speak and deliberately pump up the contrast etc in my street style stuff. Hence the slightly more contrast in this shot compared to how I would normally present an image.
X-T1, 55-200mm Lens, 1/125th @ F5.6, ISO-200, Handheld.

for looking.,

I think that more contrast has done it a favour, very good shot and work George

It always surprises me Sir, just how much detail that can be recovered from the RAW files.

I'm very strongly of the opinion that black and white work needs strong contrast, otherwise the whole thing can look very flat and insipid. I probably shoot more than my fair share in black and white and find the when whites are white and blacks are black the image is much more punchy
All great, but love the highlights on number 3.Just back from my hols and have another few days left with the boys before returning to work,have kept myself away from the internet for the last few weeks so just catching up on the Fuji thread but good to see some excellent images and a load of new post to catch up on.
Had a day out round the air bases and grab a couple with the X-T2 and 100-400.
First "proper" try at panning, could just be technique but don't understand how in this image the front of the car is in focus but the back out? From memory it was F11
You're not directly side on, when you are at a slight angle when panning at a slow speed only one part of the car will be moving at the same speed as your pan. I've got a very basic guide to panning here:
http://encounterphotography.com/?p=99190
"As you start taking these shots you will find that you are now having trouble getting the whole car in sharp focus. Only a “slice” of the car is in focus. This is due to the front and rear of the car being at different distances to you and therefore moving at different speeds in relation to the speed and direction of your panning motion."
Ukaskew has a more professional Fuji related guide here:

I have been very impressed even with the older sensor in the XT-1 how much detail can be pulled back from under/over exposed images. Nice dog btw very like my sister's Jack
Nice lines on this, dividing the scene into layers.Yep, so many phones....
Well my turn
A little overcooked perhaps but I don't often do string colours and hadn't tried out the pano on this body - quite easy really and I only got banding on one that I could see.

Have you got the camera in economy mode instead of performance (or whatever it's called)?I'm really enjoying the X-T2 however there is something that is annoying me and I'm not sure if there is a setting to improve it.
It's basically EVF lag/stuttering when panning. I have a grip and it's in boost mode but it's still not smooth, very jumpy and quite annoying.
Any ideas? as I haven't used any other mirrorless cameras like this I've no idea if it's what they are all like, I don't remember my X100T being like it but then again I probably didn't have much call for panning.
Some cracking stuff in recent pages, chaps.
I've got my head around Lightroom Mobile now, which is great for my processing speed, but I'm struggling to find time to get anything properly tagged and uploaded. Here's the latest handful from Australia...

CheersFantastic shot Mike.
Stunning sunset Mike, and the other two are just as good.

Yeah, I was wondering that, when I had the 2 I don't recall any evf lag, but then I used it in a standard way, if Jase is turning really fast I couldn't comment
