  1. I really like your style and treatment - low contrast and slightly under exposed
  2. OK found out the link URL was correct but the permission on the photos was "private" - sorry about that. The link should work now. Thanks and sorry about the clumsiness! Hopefully I'm better at taking photos than at sharing them
  3. Oh boy! Sorry about that. Here's one that hopefully works https://www.flickr.com/photos/23012510@N04/sets/72157656791540970/ feedback is welcome
  4. I thought I'd also share my first wedding shots taken with my XT-1. I am a former Nikon shooter (D90/D700) and recently switched to Fuji. https://www.flickr.com/photos/23012510@N04/sets/72157656791540970/ (Your feedback is appreciated as I am looking at making this a sustainable business) I'll start with the lenses. The 23mm is the one that stayed on the camera the most (about 75% of the shots) and did a fine job. I also used the 60mm for some macro shots and a few portraits, and the 14mm for some tight-indoors situations and some group shots. All of the lenses had sufficiently good AF speed (including the 60mm). Compared to my experience with the D700, I found that the XT-1 lagged behind in - responsiveness (shot-to-shot delay, e.g. after a burst of shots, resulting in a few missed shots) - AF accuracy (I had fewer keepers, although this may be partly due to me still having to familiarize with the system). I did not find AF speed to be an issue - battery life (big time. Even with the grip and the extra battery, I missed not having to worry about battery life! I have enough things to pay attention to!) - Oh I also miss the full frame, but that was not a surprise :-) On the upper side, I found reduced size/weight to be the feature which made the switchover worth it. The camera is less intimidating for the people, less tiring to use, etc. When I pick up a DSLR now I feel like I'm holding a brick. The vertical grip made it much easier to hold the XT-1 even in landscape mode (not to mention in portrait mode). I have long fingers. This may be less of a problem for folks with smaller hands out there. The EVF and the tilting back screen are awesome, too. While I'm at it, I thought I'd also mention I had MUCH better results in post processing with Iridient developer than with LR (especially when it comes to B&W conversion). Really. Much better. Hope this helps!
