There is this project in my mind...

Hi there,

 

I’m newly registered to this side, but not new to the side. Still haven’t made my newbie-post.

But first I wanted to get an idea from my chest.

 

I’m from Würzburg, Germany. Frankonia to be exact.

I’m shooting with Fuji for around 2 years and I’m looking for a personal project to shoot. But here comes my little problem. I love nature and landscape photography and Würzburg is soooooooooo boring ;)

If your not from here: Würzburg is a city with 130k citizens. We have lots of small towns around it and very much agriculture. The woodland is…. well, it’s not woodland, it’s more like commercial forest. The sea is around 600km away.

So what to shoot? I think I have some good pictures made here and I still have some ideas for photos in my mind. But I want a longterm project. But with what topic? Würzburg is still boring.

So I thought: Why not documenting the „boringness“ of Würzburg and especially the rural small villages around it?

But how do I photograph boringness? Pictures of farms? Fields? Lonely streets? Dirt? :D I don’t know yet.

 

But why am I this here? Even that I don’t know exactly. I think I just want another opinion from other photographers. I’m not a gear-guy. I’m more looking for ideas and inspiration.

Do you have any suggestions? Maybe other photographers who did something similar? Books?

 

I’m open to suggestions!

 

Regards

 

Andy

Are you being serious? :) :)

What you are describing sounds like fantastic opportunities for all kind of photography.

But if you are not trolling us, then try this: find a local tour guide/company and the next time they take tourists out to see the sights, go along. Those tourists have, most likely, never seen your area and will be amazed at what they are being shown. Every where you hear them going 'ooh' or 'ahh' take a quick photo to mark the location and then later come back for a more detailed self guided tour. This gives you two options, the neat places tour and the boring stuff tour. That may shake your ennui around a bit. Then show us the photos you get.

I have just looked at Würzburg, Germany on line and it looks like an amazing place for photography. Old buildings, fantastic bridges over the river. The possible projects are endless. 

What about the bridges of Wurzburg, day night, different weather and seasons.

You talk about the agriculture, how about a farming project. find a local farmer willing to let you on site. Farmers use amazing machinery which is always photogenic, especially in B&W.

It is too easy to dismiss your home town because it is so familiar. 

Believe me, I live by the sea and have thousands of images of the same stretch of beach, you have to work at it to make it interesting.

Good luck and enjoy your photography.

Hi Andy, i live in cologne/germany and it's also boring, but you can find interesting ideas to shoot.
Her some examples from my series "Cologne Ugly".

      pocket wizard and XT5?

      By LBAbrams · Posted

      Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!

      Transfer X-T5 for PC wi fi...

      Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.

      X-T30 II Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display viewmode not working

      By grizzski · Posted

      Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04

      Problem with multi exposure on XT5

      By George_P · Posted

      What GordW said. You have to put the drive mode dial to "S" - Single Frame. If you have it on CL, CH, BKT or Panorama (or HDR), the Multiple Exposure option will be greyed out in the shootng menu. On my X-T5 it works in RAW + JPG and also in JPG only. When Multiple Exposure is switched on, the image quality cannot be set to RAW only. If it was set to RAW only before switching Multiple Exposure On, image quality defaults to RAW+Fine. The result is JPG. After each shot press MENU/OK and after the last one press DISP/BACK.
