    Fuji Acros+G Outtakes

    Some outtakes from a Nativity Play using Acros+G with some custom settings. I really like the look, and set aside two C-slots for Acros and Acros+G for grab shots.

    For APS-C Tele-shooters - D7500 and 70-300 AF-P DX 4.5-6.3 VR Refurbished

    Legoland NY Preview

    They're opening another park in New York state July 2020. In the meantime, a small roadshow is making the rounds to drum up interest regionally. Apparently all of the creations here were by a local Lego Master Builder who is probably no older than 12. Amazing work.

    Fuji Fuji XF56 1.2 on Sony A7 series

    Via Fuji Rumors: Fuji 56mm f1.2 Full Frame? Not bad at all. Focus is tough enough manually, but he seemed to cope okay. It must be nice to have access to someone skilled enough to DIY change mounts. I can imagine some of the fun one could have with all sorts of adapted glass.

    All I can say is that it's ridiculously easy to sort through Holiday photos taken with Pixel 3 and Motion Photos. It's almost scary how the AI was able to show me the recommended photos in a 10 to 20 photo burst, and one of those was indeed the one I would have picked. It took me about 30...
