Part Four – Martićeva to Ravnice: Across Kvaternik Square and Maksimirska Street

This is the fourth and final part of a four-part photo series documenting my walk from the new neighbourhood I moved to back to my old one, covering the last section from Martićeva Street, across Kvaternik Square and along Maksimirska Street, to the Ravnice neighbourhood. In each post I share 25 photos from the walk, published in the exact order I captured them. This walk was around 16–17 km long and it lasted exactly three hours.

All photos were taken with the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and the Fujifilm 35mm (50mm on full frame), edited with the FUTC Neutral (Fujifilm) Lightroom preset with a small personal tweak.

These photos were taken on November 30th, 2025.

Last Day of 2025 in Zagreb: Winter Sunrise and a Sunny Walk Through the City Center

It was the last day of 2025. I originally planned to walk around the city after finishing my office workday, but I decided to start even earlier. I walked from my home to the office and captured a few photos of the final winter sunrise of the year.

After finishing my shift, I headed to the city center and spent about an hour and a half walking and photographing. The sunny weather created great light, resulting in a series of calm yet vivid scenes from Zagreb on the last day of the year.

All photos were taken with the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and the Fujifilm 35mm (50mm on full frame), edited with the FUTC Neutral (Fujifilm) Lightroom preset with a small personal tweak.

One Hour of Street Photography in Zagreb and a Rare Visit to the Zagreb Cathedral

This was one of those days when I went into the city without any plan. Even 30 minutes earlier, I didn’t know if I would head to the city center or take any photos at all. Fortunately, the beautiful Sunday sun was too much to ignore, so I took the car, paid for one hour of parking, and spent exactly one hour photographing.

Besides the usual street scenes, I visited Zagreb Cathedral, which was opened to the public for the first time in the last five years. In March 2020, Zagreb was hit by a strong earthquake that heavily damaged the cathedral, along with many historic buildings in the city center, making this visit a small but meaningful moment in the city’s ongoing recovery.

All photos were taken with the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and the Fujifilm 35mm (50mm on full frame), edited with the FUTC Neutral (Fujifilm) Lightroom preset with a small personal tweak.

This is the second part of a four-part photo series documenting my walk from the new neighbourhood I moved to back to my old one, following the route along Savska Street, Slavonska Avenue and Paromlinska Street. In each post I share 25 photos from the walk, published in the exact order I captured them. This walk was around 16–17 km long and it lasted exactly three hours.

All photos were taken with the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and the Fujifilm 35mm (50mm on full frame), edited with the FUTC Neutral (Fujifilm) Lightroom preset with a small personal tweak.

These photos were taken on November 30th, 2025.

Prvi Snijeg Light Installation in Oktogon Passage, Zagreb – Having fun with the X-Pro1

As part of my walk through Advent locations in Zagreb, I visited the Prvi Snijeg light and sound installation set inside the Oktogon Passage, located in the historic Oktogon of the First Croatian Savings Bank Palace (cro. Palača Prve hrvatske štedionice). The installation, created by Saša Šekoranja, is composed of illuminated words from the song Prvi Snijeg, forming the shape of a Christmas tree nearly ten meters tall.

The space is accompanied by an audio backdrop of the song performed by Gabi Novak, with lyrics by Ivica Krajač and music by Nikica Kalogjera, while surrounding sketches of a winter city add a subtle festive context. The installation is a gift to the city and a tribute to Gabi Novak, created as part of Advent Zagreb 2025. According to Šekoranja, the work symbolizes togetherness and highlights beauty as a driving force, not only during the holiday season but throughout the year.

All photos were taken with the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and the Fujifilm 23mm (35mm on full frame) prime lens, edited with the FUTC Neutral (Fujifilm) Lightroom preset with a small personal tweak.

Advent Run Zagreb 2025: Thousands of Runners Fill the City Streets During the Festive Race

I was in the center of Zagreb visting a couple of events, and just before heading out for a lunch break, I unexpectedly ran into Advent Run Zagreb 2025. So, of course, I had to capture a couple of photos.

This year’s edition gathered thousands of participants, with the maximum announced number reached — a total of 5,000 registered runners. The race started in front of Hotel Zonar, where participants could choose between a 5-kilometer and a 10-kilometer route through different parts of Zagreb.

The 5 km race led runners from Metalčeva Street toward the city center, with Gajeva Street marking the eastern boundary, before returning to the finish line near Hotel Zonar. Meanwhile, the 10 km route followed the same starting point but extended further toward Medveščak, finishing in Andrije Žaje Street. As in previous years, both races were divided into three zones: the red zone for the fastest runners, the blue zone for recreational runners, and the green zone reserved for families with children and dogs, making the event accessible to a wide range of participants.

These photos were taken at the Ban Josip Jelačić Square, Jurišićeva and Palmotićeva Street.

All photos were taken with the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and the Fujifilm 35mm (50mm on full frame) prime lens, edited with the FUTC Neutral (Fujifilm) Lightroom preset with a small personal tweak.

All photos were taken with the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and the Fujifilm 35mm (50mm on full frame) prime lens, edited with the FUTC Neutral (Fujifilm) Lightroom preset with a small personal tweak.

Street Photography Walk Through Zagreb on a Sunny November Sunday

This is the second post where I’m sharing photos edited with Lightroom presets from FUTC (the first post was Fujifilm X-Pro1 Street Photography in Zagreb: Vintage Gear, Modern Results). As I wrote there, I’m still in the honeymoon phase with my “new old” Fujifilm X-Pro1. I’ve been testing a couple of Lightroom presets, and the one called Neutral (for Fujifilm) is currently my favorite. I tweaked it a bit, and it has become my go-to preset for street photography with the X-Pro1.

These images were taken on a sunny Sunday, November 13th.

Fujifilm X-Pro1 Street Photography in Zagreb: Vintage Gear, Modern Results

I’ve been a Canon shooter since around 2008 — from the 40D to the 5D Mark IV and plenty of lenses in between. But in early 2023, I stepped into the Fujifilm world. I tested a few bodies and lenses, bought a couple, and recently picked up a 13-year-old Fujifilm X-Pro1 from mpb.com. I wanted to share a few images taken with this classic camera.

These shots are edited a bit differently than my usual style. I bought a bunch of Lightroom presets from FUTC and added my own finishing touches on this one which is Analog Summer FREE (I’ll test other ones soon).

I’ll be posting more photos taken with my “new old” camera soon, in the following posts.

All images here were captured on November 15th, 2025, while walking through the streets of Zagreb.
