love your photos. It is interesting how Cuba became the top Destinations. I'm also going to visit this October for a month, before Americans ruin it. 

I'm planning to buy Xpro 2 (jumping from Nikon) I wonder how many batteries did you have with you? Did you have any recharging problems? can you give me any tips I should take with me.

 

Do you know where did you get poisoned? Water or food? How long did you travel? Have more questions but lets start with this ;)

 

thank you again for fantastic photos.

Thanks for your kind comments

I'll try and answer questions as they come up

Batteries I normally take 6 but these are split between 3 cameras

No prob recharging Cuba has electricity:)

I suspect I had some bad food that did me in

I was there for 3 weeks which I think was plenty !

Tips ..... Take a bottle of hot sauce and some salt

The food is so bland !

My process .....

I do very little to a pic

The exposure is everything and watching for the right light

A bit of contrast adjustment and some dodge and burn where needed

I have many years shooting transparency and I think a lot of that technique applies to good digital photography

I'm planning a photo workshop in Cuba next Feb so watch out for info

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
