WildGoose

Hi I am just following the lead to introduce myself. I go by the name Wild Goose. Strictly I am not a newbie, I have been on this site before when I owned X100F and XT2 but I would like to start again. I committed a heinous crime and drifted into another camera brand for a while, so I left this forum. However, I love Fuji too much and I have sold all the non Fuji gear and am awaiting the arrival of the new X.E5. I feel it might be a ‘Marmite’ camera (love/hate) but I think for now, I love it. To me it is the best of the X100F with interchangeable lenses. I cannot wait to get back to using Fuji again. I trained in the photo industry and have boring old qualifications that mean very little in this digital world. I first worked as a black and white printer and later as a photographer, press and commercial. I even have a Kodak award for my time as an assistant photographer but those days are long gone. I have been out of the industry for a few decades, so those days are distant memories and I am a true enthusiast. I am happy to chat photography with others, although I am not highly technical, I was back in the day when I was printing etc, I am more artistic now and enjoy the creativity that Fuji gives me over other brands. I recall days of shooting bluebells with Velvia trying the capture the right colour compared to ektachrome and I am looking forward to switching the ‘films’ on 5 and seeing what that gives me. Cheers WG
