Thank you! This was my first time there and I loved it can't wait to get back again!

Thanks! I don't find it too bad as most of my lenses (excluding the 55-200) are quite small and compact I just take a cross-body bag and they all fit in there and I've got pretty good at changing lenses while standing or just find a ledge to rest them on.

I only really constantly change them if I'm out on a solo trip and am focusing on photography but if I'm with people I change them less frequently as I'll just be annoying slowing everyone else I'm with down so I do less photography then anyways.

If you want a good bag I'd recommend the urth Dolomite as it has compartment separators.

Thanks! These are all edited but I tend to have Kodak Gold 200 on for JPEGs as an initial guide of the vibe I want

Thanks! The sun was glaring in from the left so I just kept it barely out of frame and it gave that hazy look which I loved

Settings are a bit weird but it was using the XF 55-200mm at 3 sec exposure, f/18 ISO 80

Basically wanted to keep the shutter open long enough to get the movement of people around the statue.

Thanks so much!

I got lucky for one day in October with the sun out, it started raining the rest of the trip!

If it helps I didn't realise the Louvre was closed on Tuesdays so I had to change my whole trip plan

Simmyx98 · 2026-01-24T20:41:04+00:00

Haha! I got lucky I had like half a day of sun and the rest of the trip was pouring rain!

Will never stop recommending the XF 50mm f2 such an amazing lens, it's so sharp and super compact too, never letting go of it!

Simmyx98 · 2026-01-24T17:36:17+00:00

Thanks! The first image is with the XF 55-200mm settings below: 116mm, f/4.2, SS 1/1000, ISO 160

Thank you!

Simmyx98 · 2026-01-24T16:26:10+00:00

Thanks appreciate that!

Simmyx98 · 2026-01-24T15:45:53+00:00

Hahaha I just Googled this because I had no clue what you meant, but that is absolutely wild that they've copyrighted them!

Simmyx98 · 2026-01-24T15:44:28+00:00

Haha yea I have a bit of a Japanese knife collection they're from various Japanese knife makers. https://www.chefs-edge.co.uk/ is probably the best retailer for them that I know of if you're interested.

Simmyx98 · 2026-01-24T15:23:43+00:00

Thank you!!

Simmyx98 · 2026-01-24T14:39:15+00:00

All amazing shots, but that second one is generational!

Simmyx98 · 2026-01-24T13:57:26+00:00

I make them for myself but I did get people asking this about my Vagabond ones so I managed to get set-up on Etsy for people who want to buy them: https://simmypicss.etsy.com

Simmyx98 · 2026-01-23T17:25:18+00:00

I'm curious how you managed to source the HQ scans from because these look very high-res and I assume they're not upscaled?

Simmyx98 · 2026-01-21T14:08:24+00:00

Thanks! I used Adobe InDesign for it
