Exploring Tokyo & Nikko with X1
![title.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/juliusyls/23yd1VmkTs5ZcyeaYvCUQdXXqC7DbRdLfTtHAiNphJhRGgxKG9koCamfFojeLjejELbKF.jpg)

Visiting Tokyo has been on my travel list since I was a kid. I guess I was fascinated by the manga and anime movies of robotics and future city, and I am fortunate to have the opportunity to visit in summer. This is a short article about my travel experience and shooting with Leica X1 which that time I had for a few months since I bought it.

We arrived in Tokyo in the middle of summer, and we are staying in a nice small locally owned hotel located in a neighborhood in Tokyo. The city is very vibrant and exciting, with lots of things to see and experience. I was so excited and struggling to decide what to shoot!. To add on, I just had this X1 a few months ago and still unfamiliar with the camera. The equivalent 35mm focal lens is also unfamiliar territory for me ( I am very comfortable with 28mm and 50mm).

In this post, some of the shots that I took aren't strong in terms of composition. It shows that I still trying to adjust with the 35mm frame line.

One of my highlights on this trip using this camera is the macro. I found that the macro capability of this camera is excellent, and it took sharp and beautiful objects up closed.

*Tokyo train driver | ISO 800, F5.6 at 1/15 sec*

The picture of the lady train driver above was taken at a slow shutter speed at 1/15 sec. I have to stick the camera to the glass divider to reduce the hand shakes, which works quite well.

##### CONCLUSION
This little X1 is light and yet produce excellent image quality. The classic appearance often draws people's attention at that time, but yet it kind of low-profile camera. On the last day of our trips to Japan, I am thinking that finally I found my favorite point and shot camera and I will use this camera for many trips to come.
