    1st engagement shoot of the season with the X-T1, 56mmf1.2 and the 18-55mm. Lovely evening light. Used spot metering mode for most of the backlit shots and quite impressed.

    Hi All
     
    I'm Martin and like many others I'm switching from my Canon DSLR outfit to Fuji. I follow Damien Lovegrove on twitter, and 2 months ago happened to see some of his work, using and X-T1 and the 56mm f1.2 and I was so blown away with the images I immediately ordered on an X-T1 and 18-55mm online! Then something strange happened. I became excited about taking photos, a feeling I'd not had for 25 year (using a Bronica RF, my all time favourite film camera).
    Last week, I was the main photography for a community event with over 3000 people. I used the X-T1 and 18-55 & 56 f1.2 only. Got some fantastic shots and have had great feedback from the organisers. I'm looking forward to covering some weddings with it later this year.
    I suppose my next step is to shoot jpeg only. Scary, but the jpegs out the camera are excellent!
     
    Just need to decide what lens is next....

    Hi, I'm relatively new to the Fuji X System having shot with a Nikon D200 and then more recently a Nikon D610. However, I recently bought an XE2 with the 18-55mm and 10-24mm lenses for travelling and have been trying the Fuji out for some landscape work. This is one of the Forth Bridge at sunrise - shot in RAW and processed with Adobe Lightroom and finished in Perfect Effects:

    Hello,
     
    A few weeks ago I went to see some motocross event close to where I live. I have been there in the past, but this year was the first time with my X-T1. I brought along my XF18-55, the XF55-200 but also an adapted Leica Summilux-R. I have used this MF lens in the past on my Canon gear and its rendering is wonderful.
     
    Focusing on fast moving subjects is pretty hard to do, so one has to use a different approach. Find a nice position along the track, where you can see the bikes coming. Prefocus on a piece of the track where you have possibility of a nice shot (e.g. after a hump, or in a bend). Set the f-stop to f/5.6 ~ f/11 for plenty DoF. Check the shutterspeed you get.
     
    Longer ones give nicer motion blur, but your keeper rate will drop considerably. I try somthing between 1/125 and 1/400 depending on the speed of the bikes and curves in the track.
     

     

     

     

     
    The whole set is on my Flickr, but the images are unsorted regarding lenses.
