A Monochrome V?

Make a Monochrome V Fuji!

I was listening to the Fujicast recently and they discussed the reasons why Fujifilm won't build a Monochrome X100V. I am happy to discuss this on here in some detail, Leica recently released the Q Monochrome and it really piqued my interest.. Then i saw the price £5400 - totally out of reach.

Fujifilm should consider V Monochrome make it in black only and give us superb Fuji film simulation's, it would be very popular I believe as the black and white from a monochromatic sensor is far superior too converting a RAW file.

Also the big thing is totally RAW black and white!

The high ISO from this sensor works in a totally different way in converting images and would give beautiful results if this blog website would support a poll system on here I would have put it on here!

If anyone feels the same perhaps message me and we could start a campaign with Fujifilm?

Anyway here is my beloved old Indi with the V in jpeg version simulation.

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!

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.

So it’s the end of the month just another walk

Some different scenes on today’s journey We got out just before the deluge of heavy rain, the first photo was Indi waiting with he favourite rope ball toy. She adores to carry something probably makes her think she has a job! The second picture shows how useful the flip out screen is for a very low down shot, I created the image with the muted colours in mind. The Fuji cameras are almost legendary in their colour science, they follow on from some of the beautiful films I used in the early 1980’s , Astia and Velvia along with the beautiful Acros Black & White. The last photo of Indi was taken indoors and used the Acros film simulation, it was taken at ISO 640 at 1/60 second exposure F2.5 (in photography speak) it renders a smooth rendition tonality of the full blacks and whites. I love this setting! Hope you enjoy the photos please follow and comment for daily updates!
