Awesome photo!

Hi there, sorry for any language oopsies. It's not my native language.

I am an old(er) guy from Germany with a new camera. It's a x100vi, my first Fuji. Before that (starting in the 1980's with an MX and the most modern I have is a K3III) I used Pentax and Ricoh GR.
I am pretty impressed with the Fuji. Even if I cannot find any love for OOC jpegs, recipies, in camera filmsimulations and such as it seems to be typical for Fuji users.
It's to much fiddling with dials and menues for me. I prefere RAW and and like preprossesing at my leasure.

Here are some from the very first day with the Fuji. It's around our tiny town in the south western part of Germany (and of neighbors cat)

 

I popped by my local camera store to check out the GRX100RF today.  They let me put my SD card in it and snap some pictures.  I set it to ACROS and snapped these shots of the salesman.  It's easy to see what camera brand he likes.

GFX100RF.
Very close up—it's only 1 ⅓ inches wide.  First light in the forest.  
Hand-held.  Carrying a tripod around on a hike would not be enjoyable.

It's that time of the year alright. 

Ghosts and goblins and all sorts of fey critters are stirring again. It is that time of the year. Be careful, they will soon be out and about... Boo!
