I'd love to see more examples like this. Thinking of getting into Fuji X., knowing I can easily adapt for landscape, architecture and street but mixed feelings about candid or posed portraits indoors. Particularly candid when subject is moving.

 

Nice shot!

FSP, thanks for posting this one. I can't tell if you bounced it, but my guess is you did. It froze the action nicely. Just the right amount of light. Do you also have the X-T10 and if so do you ever use the little built in flash for fill? (Just looked up the i40 and would be nice addition for many situations I'm in., 'tho have yet to purchase my Fuji.)

Yes, bounced with the i40 for that image. I had a wall fairly close behind me. I love how quick the controls are on the i40! I didn't want too much light bouncing back on my subject as I wanted to avoid overexposing the background with the video guy finding his way into my frame. I probably had it in manual as I rarely trust TTL during receptions so having the access to power so quick and easy is really nice.

 

I do have the X-T10 which I'm really loving. It is my second during weddings and my go to for personal stuff. I used the pop up the first night I got the camera just messing around. I'm not super knowledgeable on it but it seems like it would fill shadows on fairly close subjects well.

      Anyone out there have any experience/feedback on the Laowa 55 mm tilt shift? I’d be using it on the GFX 50s ii.

      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.

      Back on page three of this thread is an image and mention of those mythological and astronomical twins, Castor and Pollux. They are back for your viewing pleasure in the night sky with Jupiter joining them, an added bonus this year. At least for those stargazing in the Northern Hemisphere anyway. For right now, you will need to wait until late at night, Very Late. or Very Early in the morning if your clock works that way. A little after midnight. Look a little to the left of Orion and there these three will be forming an arc.

      Procyon is along for the arc ride... As long as the clouds are not too much, the arc is visible even in cloudy, light polluted skies like the one shown here. This is the equivalent of a just almost but not quite ten minutes stars exposure with a five seconds clouds exposure.
