Show Clouds Sunrise/Sunset

The Fuji camera and lenses are awesome. Great to use and the quality feel is nicer than any camera I've ever owned not to mention the sexiest looking. The RAF files have taken some getting used to. Think I was spoilt by the RAW files coming out of my old A7 but I'm getting to know how the RAF files work.

I would've stayed with Sony full frame but the system (cameras and lenses) are slowly growing in size/weight and price which is not the direction I wanted to go. Still amazing cameras for those who aren't concerned with those issues.

Gave M43 a go mainly because I got an amazing deal (sold the GX85 for more than I paid for it new) but just wasn't inspired by the system and can't really put a finger on why. I got some nice images out of the GX85, even did a trip to Thailand with just an LX100.

I think ASPC is a nice balance when it comes to price, size and image quality. I was set to stay Sony with an A6300/6500 but Fujifilm had some cash back offers here in Australia and with the release of the X-T3 there were good deals to be had on the X-T2. So far so good with Fuji just need to find more time to get out and shoot.
Look forward to the images.
 
This image is pretty good, but the sky on the drive to work this morning was a dazzling display of pink and magenta. That had faded by the time I parked and made it to my vantage point.

Isn't it fascinating how dynamic the sky can be? (And frustrating too, sometimes.)

Just this AM, I sat down to run the Commuter Assistance Network on ham radio, looked out the window and saw a glorious partial moon, hanging halfway up the sky. I messed with my computer a couple of minutes, looked again, and my entire view of the sky was clouded over. A few minutes later, the view was changed to streaks of clouds in a blue sky, illuminated pink and red by the rising sun.

Keep looking up!

Update: and if you wait just 10 minutes more, you get this:

The differences are not all due to pp - there was a colour change in the light while I was slowly walking up the path. However, I narrowly missed the wildest bit ...
