A change for this blog!

Back to the Fujifilm Finepix X100

I made the decision to permanently go back to my original Fujifilm Finepix X100.

I bought this for my 50th birthday nearly 10 years ago and I am planning to use it full time once again. The X100V whilst a technical marvel and wonderful camera seems to be without "soul" anymore to me. It's actually so good it makes it very difficult to take a bad photograph!

Then Fujifilm Finepix X100 is the Bayer sensor and at 12mp gives more film like quality to my images.

I don't doubt I will miss the speed of focus and high ISO clean images, the MKII lens on the V is amazing at f2. The original not so sharp at f2.

No WiFi , very few film simulations, fixed screen and low Res EVF

So here we are at the turn of my 60th year going back to the Fujifilm Finepix X100.

Below is my dear friend Indi and she is relaxing in her dri dog bag after a very early walk today for those that are interested this was at ISO 2000 not bad, not bad at all.

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!

My bird and wildlife camera

I have kept with Olympus and now have an E-M1X an absolute beast in the M4:3 world. It came out in 2019 and was sold for a number of years, it been superceded by the OM1 Mkii but I still believe this is the king of the genre. Of course it's very large in this sensor world but very small compared to the likes of Canon or Nikon with a battery grip built in. I shoot macro and wildlife and of course my family. This camera performed so well in all these types of photography, below are firstly my latest examples of bird photography at which the cameras built in AI tracked the heron.
