Fuji X100V Daily Photos

Fuji X100V Daily

So I decided to build a blog about daily photos with my beautiful Fuji X100V

I have been a Fuji X photographer for over 10 years and especially the X100.

The fixed lens really helps with creativity

This image was shot underneath my car port

The top light really helped with the shadows

I have found walking out and about with my camera a mindful experience, it helps you balance with nature and slow down in this difficult world.

Exposure wise for those that are photographers 1/30 sec shutter speed f 3.6 ISO 500, it’s easy to handhold the X100V for a shot like this. I suppose some would ask why not use a phone for these shots?
I understand this but being a photographer you need to use a camera!

    Couldn't agree more! I find something oddly 'wrong' about using my phone for photos...

      Yep it's strange even though the Pixel 4A is very good I just enjoyed using a camera much more.
      Thanks for the reply

    Nice pics, Alex. Looking to buy a Fuji X100V, Sony RX1 or Ricoh GR. Do you think the Fuji is better than Sony? Not that familiar with Fuji.

    Hi I have owned the RXR1 ii and although the photos were fabulous the menu system and weak battery were it's downfall.
    The Ricoh GRiii is a great fixed lens camera very pocket friendly and superb sharp quality images.
    The X100V beats the Sony full frame in some cases and the jpegs on X100V are insanely good - better than the Sony and the Ricoh
    ISo performance is a close run thing between the Sony and the Fuji I have shot the Sony at 25600 ISo and it was very clean
    Hopefully this helps!

Digital Detox

 I was becoming increasingly concerned about the amount of control our so called "Smartphones" have over us. There were instances when a subject I was talking about or emailing became part of my chosen search engine feed. It came to a head when I honestly got so sick of my phone I switched it off and went without, It prompted me to search for the Lightphone 2 and it's funny how the search engine gods don't proffer me with details of this device in my feed - I wonder why? I decided to order one from the American company run by two people who became fed up with their big tech overlords So it was delivered and a very easy set up all through an account and I have been using it as my only device ever since for 5 days and I am more peaceful and more " in the moment"  Photos below and a link if you want to know more The light phone 2

More off camera flash with The Fujifilm finepix X100

So today was our grandson Freddie care day or as it's known to us "Freddie Friday" I chose the X100 original for all these shots and used a cord to trigger the large V850 Godox flash to fire. I also used a demflip modifier which is basically like a bounce card of old days use. It gives quite soft light as you can see from these shots. If anyone is interested in the actual set up I would be happy to explain my technique and the equipment used. What it does prove is the little original Fujifilm from 2010 still gives wonderful colour and lovely photography.

Finepix X100 jpeg action

 Today I tried out the Finepix X100 in jpeg mode to see if it renders a good image  Indi was in her dog cage/bed and just had to be photographed! I quite like the files from this little old camera more now than ever before, there's a certain depth and softness that really gives the image character. For those that are interested the exposure was 1/30 sec f/4.0 ISO 3200 the camera was supported on a manfrotto pixie tripod. Below is an image from yesterday this was lit with flash from the camera and it really gives beautiful RAW files from this camera are really adaptable and easily edited. The exposure was 1/1000 sec f/2.8 ISO 400 obviously as I have previously discussed the leaf shutter allows high shutter syncing
