My wife and I went to Marrakesh for one week. I only took the X100T, some spare batteries and SD cards with me.

I´ll keep on posting more shots as soon as I have finished sorting and editing the shots.

Thanks for the positiv comment.

I wrote up a little blogpost on www.stockografie.de about the trip there. You can also take the direct link http://stockografie.de/stockografie-the-x100t-and-marrakesh/

 

Yes, the locals can actually get quite aggressive if you take a shot of them and they don´t want it. I had one incident where I took a shot of the whole seen and one guy thought I was taking his picture. He was actually only about 1cm of the whole shot. He shouted at me and did some wild gestures. I just said that he was not on the photograph and walked away. The best thing would have been to show him the shot and delete it if necessary. But he was so rude that I felt quit offended. It´s a give and take situation with street photography.

Thanks for the insight.  I've taken a look at your site and there are a lot of really nice shots there.  I particularly like "mint tea", "black and white shadow view", "view over Marrakesh", "inside", "relaxing", "reading" and "the long street".

 

I recently was in South East Asia and China for nearly six weeks with only the X100T and the TCL-X100 and know why you're tempted to use only this camera.  It truly is a small wonder.

Love the vintage Merc taxis! By the way, I prefer the colour and tone in the pics you say you edited yourself in LR to those with the presets applied.

Thanks. I personally don´t use VSCO at all. Don´t even have them on my mac to be honest.

Whenever I edit a raw file I do it do my pleasure. Personally I think that is involving myself more into the shot and how I wish to photograph to look. Most of the time it takes me less than two minutes to edit a photograph these days. I see the finished picture in my inner eye when I am taking it.

 

I hope this is somewhat understandable how I am trying to explain this.

Long shadow B&W is the best one so far for me. Great job.

have you seen the goats on a tree? :D

click the great black and white photography you spoke about to get to flickr and then move three or four photographs to the left (a.k.a. backwards).. i never knew they could pull something like that off, lol!

Beautiful images! It looks like an amazing palace to be with a camera. I've heard also about some of the locals aversion to being photographed, or demanding money in exchange. I do understand somewhat if they're working in a place where tourists point a camera at them every 5 mins- it's never nice feeling like a money in a zoo! But there agin in other places people don't seem to mind so... who knows.

 

I guess you have to be a little;e more thick skinned there for street photography :)

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.

      Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
