Hi there, I’m newly registered to this side, but not new to the side. Still haven’t made my newbie-post. But first I wanted to get an idea from my chest. I’m from Würzburg, Germany. Frankonia to be exact. I’m shooting with Fuji for around 2 years and I’m looking for a personal project to shoot. But here comes my little problem. I love nature and landscape photography and Würzburg is soooooooooo boring If your not from here: Würzburg is a city with 130k citizens. We have lots of small towns around it and very much agriculture. The woodland is…. well, it’s not woodland, it’s more like commercial forest. The sea is around 600km away. So what to shoot? I think I have some good pictures made here and I still have some ideas for photos in my mind. But I want a longterm project. But with what topic? Würzburg is still boring. So I thought: Why not documenting the „boringness“ of Würzburg and especially the rural small villages around it? But how do I photograph boringness? Pictures of farms? Fields? Lonely streets? Dirt? :D I don’t know yet. But why am I this here? Even that I don’t know exactly. I think I just want another opinion from other photographers. I’m not a gear-guy. I’m more looking for ideas and inspiration. Do you have any suggestions? Maybe other photographers who did something similar? Books? I’m open to suggestions! Regards Andy

Thanks Olaf

"FUJI X-T3 ‘WORMS’ I presume that if you are reading this article then you will be familiar with the Fuji ‘Worms’ effect." There is no Fuji Worms effect. There is an Adobe Worms effect. "Adobe Lightroom struggles to sharpen Fuji X Trans RAW files without introducing some wormy artefacts." No. Adobe's demosaicing of Fuji X-Trans raw files fails to appropriately render fine detail and that is the foundation of Adobe's Worms effect. "Adobe has not addressed this issue and it looks likely that they may never do so. Sadly the issue persists in the latest release (Version 😎 of the software" Indeed it does. "The simplest solution to avoid the worms is to disable sharpening completely in Lightroom and sharpen either when exporting the file e.g. sharpen for web sharing or sharpen in Adobe Photoshop using unsharp mask filter." No. The simplest solution to avoid the worms is to avoid Adobe software.
