As discussed a pre wedding shoot

I dusted off the old Godox flash...

I have been asked by my son to cover a wedding to a couple who are his best friends.

I have agreed to offer my services this coming August and on Saturday i did the pre shoot at the venue. They were such a nice couple a pleasure to take photographs of

The V was used and the TCL was employed to give a little seperation, off camera flash was provided by my aging Godox 850 and its 2.4ghz transmitter. This gives power adjustment from the camera.

I had the flash on my collapsible light stand and the light was softened by a Rogue Flashbender a strangely named light modifier!

The best off camera technique you shouldnt be able to see the results of the flash.

This video explains all about it, the last shot i left the set up visible to show its light fall off

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. The leaves above seem to show sadness at the change of the seasons resting peacefully on a fallen tree 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!

Down to the park

Back to Hughenden park... A little picture heavy today but the sun was out and Hughenden park looked fabulous Indi loves being out down there her tail was wagging quite a lot It was a bit of struggle to get Indi into my car which is a Toyota IQ a great small runabout but not ideal GSD transport!

A try out Fujifilm Finepix X100

Finepix X100 10 years young! Out with just the original X100 today as I said I am selling my V powerhouse of a beautiful camera and stepping back in time with the original X100. It's a true condition GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) I am have suffered from this too. In buying every version of the X100 but have kept the original in storage within my house. The Original, S,T and F all had the same f2 lens, the V had the MKII version which was sharper and much faster focusing than all the other variants put together. In looking back through Adobe Lightroom Mobile CC that I use on this Samsung Tablet the images looked very sharp but potentially too sterile in their output. I decided after watching Chris Orange on you tube ( very good channel) that he loved the older generations of sensor output, so I decided to break out the original the Fujifilm Finepix X100 from 2010 ( this started me with Fuji addiction) I saw it at the Photography Show and was smitten. I met a gentleman called David...
