I was torn today between the shots I could share for the weekly Friday image. I seem to have some great alternatives I could show. I don’t know if its because I have been trying to get out more with my Fuji X-T2 or if it’s just the weather has been kind. Whatever the reason, … Continue reading Friday Image No.161
I don’t know about you but my email in box has been flooded with email over the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend. It has though provided me with two opportunities: A great time to unsubscribe from a lot of lists of people who only want to sell me stuff but don’t provide additional value. … Continue reading Updating Equipment and Software
Yesterday I visited Harrogate, taking my wife to an exhibition. Whilst I was in the area I decided to visit Bolton Abbey. Last time I visited I was at school so that that should tell you it was a very long time ago. I also decided to take along the Fuji X-T2 in case any … Continue reading Friday Image No. 160
At the weekend, I did something I haven’t done before. I headed up into the hills behind Dovestones reservoir for photography. Now I need to qualify that statement as I have taken plenty of photographs in the area. The difference this time is that I was heading out for the purpose of photography and nothing … Continue reading Heading Out With A Purpose
I suspect many of you, like me are guilty of ignoring the landscape on our doorstep. Very recently I bought a book covering different photo locations in the Peak District (http://amzn.to/2eSTEEk). As I started to flip through the book, I thought I recognised a couple of locations. Sure enough, there was a section on locations … Continue reading Friday Image No. 149
It’s almost a year since I purchased a used Fuji X-T1 and Fujinon 18-135 lens. I loved the X-T1 and fairly quickly upgraded to the X-T2. The Fujinon 18-135 was though a complete disappointment. I remember returning home following the first outing where I had shot the scene above. I downloaded the images to my … Continue reading Exercising the Ghost of Fujinon
The heather is out. I captured this last Sunday in the Peak District using the Fuji X-T2. It's processed in Lightroom using the Provia colour profile (set under Camera Calibration in the Develop tab). As usual, it didn't take more than a couple of tweaks to finish the image. That's what I love about the … Continue reading Friday Image No.147
When I purchased my first Fuji camera (an XT1 which has since been sold), I bought a used 18-135 Fuji lens to accompany it. At the time, I was apprehensive because a lot of the lens reviews said the lens was poor and not of the usual Fuji quality. Despite this I pushed ahead and … Continue reading Returning to the Fuji 18-135 Lens
At the end of a long week, I’m back to looking through my archive of images and spotted this one. This is Thirlmere in the Lake District. It’s captured using my Fuji XT-2 and Fuji 16-50 lens. The more I use this camera the more I like the capabilities. It’s very well design and the … Continue reading Friday Image No.139
It’s been another hectic and busy week. Wednesday evening was spent over at Llandudno Photographic Society giving a presentation on Landscape Photography and editing with Nik tools. Thank you very much to everyone who attended for giving me a great welcome. Following this, it was over to Penmon the following morning to shoot some beach … Continue reading Friday Image No.132
