Open Topic. Let us combat the global warming. This one seems fit for a PF2019 greeting. PF2019 everyone !

Hello everyone, I had the opportunity to spend a week in the Dolomites area to catch the autumn colors ! my trusty x-pro2 and x-t2 were from the trip. We start with a classic of the Dolomites, the church of San-Giovanni in Ranui near Santa Magdalena. The sky mixed with some remainings of fog, made really the mountain glow and burn in a special way. 1) X-pro2 - 16-55 @ f10, some exposures mixed to achieve this image as the contrast between the different plans was enormous. Have a nice day and see you soon for more.

That's correct. Its incremental. You adjust. I use it all the time, and it works great. I'm usually at F11 - F16 range

Focal length equivalency depends on the size of the sensor. You've posted this message in the GFX-lenses section (which is for Fuji's medium format sensor cameras) but I guess you use an X-system camera from Fuji with the smaller APS-C sensor. Right between APS-C and medium format are the so-called Full Frame (FF) sensor cameras. This was in the days of film the most used size of film for amateur photographers. That is why focal lengths of lenses are often recalculated to the FF equivalency. From APS-C to FF the 'crop-factor' is 1.5x The 10-24 f4 Fuji lens therefore has a full frame equivalency of approx. 15-35mm meaning it gives you that same angle of view. It ranges from an super wide-angle to a standard wide-angle view. That makes it perfect for architecture, indoor architecture and landscape. The 10-24 has two main advantages for your intended use: first it doesn't have a lot of distortion in the super wide-angle mode, so you don't need software to correct the image all the time (keystone correction). Precondition is that you keep the camera and lens level at shooting (and not tilted backwards). Secondly, it has an optical image stabilizer. So, shooting indoor with longer shutter speeds isn't too much of a problem, since the lens corrects motion blur in some degree. That compensates for the fact it has not a really fast aperture (f4) so your low-light/indoor shutter speeds can be a bit longer (I would say up to 1/8s).

We set out mid-morning for our first ever winter visit to the canyon. The narrow, twisting road had a fair number of scary icy and snow-covered patches, but Diana's bad weather Michigan driving skills were up to the challenge. There were very few places to stop due to the snow banks, but we found a spot near the Terrero General Store and walked back to an old bridge with a path that went down to the river. The tall trees (Douglas fir, Colorado Blue Spruce, Ponderosa Pines), shrubs, rocks, and snow-covered hills were a wonderful backdrop for the rushing waters. We walked a bit, sat by the river, and drank in the marvels of Nature.

X-T1 / XF18-55 / SOOC

Some views from my office, the Airbus A32F. Helps having a small Fuji in the bag at all times, pictures taken with the X100T and the X-T1.

Hello, The next shot is a Sunrise on the Lago di Braies in the Dolomites, With the Tre Cime, It's certainly the most visited place in the Dolomites. In autumn the place look so peaceful, it's complicated to achieve a perfect reflection as there is often wind on the surface of the lake. I had a bit of luck as 10 minutes after the shot, the reflection completly disappeared. 5) Lago di Braies - X-Pro 2 Have a nice day !

Hello, We continue with another shot taken with the x-pro2. I spend the night under tent near the Alpe di Siusi and decided to do something different as all the other photographers are doing (classical view with the Sassolungo at the end of the alpe in background). lucky as I was, the first snow over Dolomites was falling. It was quiet a cold and windy night and didn't sleep well ... but was happy enough that my composition found in a Heavy fog the day before (without seeing the mountains at all) was worth and working. 4) Sassolungo morning, looks a bit like british columbia, X-Pro2 - 10-24 f4 Have a nice day.

A different mood for Today, the famous Tre Cime Sunset view over the Tre Cime 3) Have a great day !

Thanks Woodlander, We continue we a second more composite and sureal image taken at night on the Passo di Giau with my x-t2 and 16 1.4 WR @ f10 2) In HD here as it's really hard to compress an image like this : http://www.lfphotography.ch/Italy/i-SWs88Zq/A Have a nice day.
