Street Photography In Munich

When I realized all my recent tours were in cities, I knew I needed a change. I've always wanted to visit the Bavarian region of Germany, so I decided to take a tour of Königssee.

Since I've never been to Munich before, I set aside a day to explore the city. I don't particularly appreciate traveling like a typical tourist with a map and a checklist of things to cover. Instead, I prefer to wander around like a local, capturing photos just as I do in my city Berlin.

Enjoy some of the photos I've taken.

The pictures above were taken with my video camera, the ZVE1, and a Sigma 85mm f/1.4 lens. I usually dislike the SOOC Sony colors, but with a few small tweaks, I ended up liking the results more than those from my Fuji XT4, which is my dedicated street photography camera. I'm leaving some photos for comparison, taken with the XT4 and a 35mm f/2 lens.

These Fuji pictures are straight out of the camera without any edits, except for the one of the Man Vs Machine Coffee shop. For that, I changed the simulation to Reala Ace in Capture One since the XT4 doesn't have it.

Honestly, I'm really impressed with Sony. It's hard to admit that a camera with no viewfinder and only 12 MP took superior pictures compared to my retro Fuji. However, the experience and joy of taking pictures matter in the end, so I'm not abandoning my beloved Fuji anytime soon.
