'Reflecting on the Calm, Warm Water'

 

Yesterday, while enjoying the day at Club Med in Grace Bay, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands, I took this photo in the harsh, mid-day light.

I'm not totally sold on Fuji as a landscape camera, but it rocks for seascapes.

Can I ask why you believe it rocks for seascapes but not landscapes? Just curious as the two types overlap quite heavily, I've not had a chance to shoot any seascapes with my kit yet, looking forward to it though!

Sure - it's been said to death, and I don't want to annoy anyone, but briefly, I'm one of the people who does have issues with certain landscape shots in RAW (probably exacerbated due to where I live, where there is a lot of fine, green grasses/foliage, which is kind of a worse-case scenario). It's a bizarre issue though, as it's there on a percentage of shots, and not really a bother on others.

 

I also live near the sea, and don't have any problems at all with seascape shots, as this type of pattern/texture/colour isn't encountered much. Similarly, I find it's a great street/people camera.

 

These days, I tend to use my X-T1 for those applications, and leave verdant landscapes to my E-M1. That said, I'm liking Capture One more and more, which seems to play nicer, and I may move back full time to the Fuji at some point.

Fair enough, I wondered whether it was linked to the grass/foliage issues from RAW. C1 is meant to be very good at eliminating this issue and LR has come on a long way since. Perhaps you should give it a go this autumn and see whether its's worth the shift?

 

I use raw sharpening presets for the XT1 and then adjust masking to eliminate excessive sharpening to sky dtc. Seems to work okay but certainly Lightroom could step up its game, when it comes to Xtrans.

Agreed, and what you said about applying sharpening selectively is key - sharpening slightly OOF areas seems to highlight the problem worse, although it doesn't seem to be as much an issue in C1. I only learned that recently, though. Which sharpening presets do you use - do you mean the LR ones?

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

    • 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.
