Kuala Lumpur is a really fascinating city.. But what I really don't get is: who's buying all these crappy designer goods. The whole city seems to be one big shopping mall...

Beautiful pictures all around .. but.. if fuji colors are so pleasing, how come 50% of the pictures posted are B&W? I have never seen such a distribution in posted material before. 

 

 

Were colors not a major part of this Carnival? was the camera's rendition of these colors not pleasing enough? 

 

Carnival! From the 'Carnival of Cultures', June 6, 2015. All shot with Fujifilm X-T1 + Fujinon XF 18-55 mm f/2.8-4 OIS R.

My decision for black and white has nothing to do with the question of how the camera reproduces colors. It is a creative decision. And that has fallen in this case in favor of a monochrome reproduction. Others may decide differently. To answer your question: Fuji cameras have an excellent color reproduction in most cases. But that is no reason to photograph everything in color. When I use color, I do it very specifically. In these pictures, everyone can easily imagine that the costumes were colorful. But for my intention when I took and processed the photographs the colors were just not relevant.

Sorry i took it all out on your pics. I obviously know that each person used Create and Artistic decisions to get the the final product. I was perplexed to see so many Fuji users end up with choosing black & white in the end. Again, i only chose your pictures because they were at the end of the thread plus the subject allowed me to exemplify my argument.

I can not answer the fundamental question. Everyone will have individual reasons to choose black and white or color for their photographs. One reason could be that black and white photography is a classic form of representation. It has a great graphical potential and offers a high degree of abstraction in the image design. Personally I shoot in black and white and color. Some color photos (just a few) have been posted in this forum others not. An example: Green Tree (not posted). Here color is essential for me. This picture was taken with a Fuji camera too - an X-T1 with a Fujinon XF 16mm f/1.4 lens. Also most of my flower and close-up photos are color photography (X-T1 & Fujinon XF 60 mm f/2.4: Tulips). The decision is always aware. It is no coincidence!

I think that many people who shoot street (especially street) are just a bit nostalgic. Many great origin street photographers shot b&w and these pictures were sooooo beautiful!!! So people try to replicate that. And that's good!!!

 

For me black & white photography has its own magical look. I really love the strong contrast between a dark black and a light white. Can't describe it right but I really love it. Here is an example. Not a real street shot but I really like the b&w processing so much!!! Also the added fake grain gives the shot a very nice vintage look!

But here's also an opposite example what colours can do. Really love the punchy yellow!

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
