[Adam Bonn]

For this week's instalment and seeing what day it is... Well let's take a look at feeling the magic!

To whom it applies... Merry Christmas

The Magic of……

Happy New Year Folks:

Everyone seems to be doing an end of year review on their sites, so I thought that... I'd be absolutely no different at all!!!

So here's mine.

The End of the Year Spent with…

This week I'm turning my hand to street portraiture.

But can this project deliver more than photographs?

Also I'm forced to wonder if the X-Pro range is the perfect tool for the job, but why might I think that?

I hope you enjoy the read..

The X-Pro Series and Street Portraits

It's been 6 months since I got my X-Pro2... I didn't just rush out and get it, I thought long and hard about what it offered that I wanted and actually needed over the X-Pro1.

Now that the dust has settled, and the honeymoon finished... Am I still happy?

What a week it's been for new cameras, and not just Fujifilm ones!

How fantastic for anyone eagerly awaiting an upgrade.

But what about the rest of us?

Well, I guess we could take a long walk with our existing gear and enjoy seeing the world and taking pictures?

That's what I did... Want to join me?

Cross My Path

This week; in the first of a multi part series, I take a look at camera settings, and how to prepare to get what you need out of your camera.

A few people have been saying that the X-Pro2 is "too complicated" but it's only as complicated as you want it and ultimately a question of how you approach it!

My X-Pro2 Settings: Part One

Although I don't use an X-Pro2, well done for your efforts, now if you would just do the same for the X-T2!

Thank you!

I don't have a XT1 so I'm a bit stuck on that one... I suppose I could ask Fuji to borrow one... but I'd rather they lent me more glass, and I'm waaaaaaay down their pecking order for loaner stuff, so I need to ask for my loaner gear wisely

Besides... last time i borrowed the xf56 apd and it REALLY hurt to give it back and I can't afford one, so I'm not sure I want to risk borrowing a higher spec camera than the one I have (although I think the bells and whistles of the XT2 might be lost on me as I don't really use AF)

Following on from last week's article where I spoke about setting up your camera, this week's part looks at how I've set up my Fn buttons.

Enjoy!

My X-Pro2 Settings: Part Two

 

[Adam Bonn]

The final part of my series on camera settings takes a look at shortcuts, and how to avoid the menu as much as possible!

Enjoy!

Adam, when I asked you to do the same for the X-T2, I was being a bit tongue in cheek, sorry.

For this week's article; I'm going to be taking a look at White Balance.

A camera's ability to automatically assign White Balance is something that is often criticised, and people have various suggestions about what to do about that.

So I think we should take a closure look!

White Balance Part One: I’m not a Number

 

[Adam Bonn]

Continuing the White Balance series:

This week we take a look at a way of taking some control back from the AWB automation of the camera, and circumnavigating the fact that different RAW software disagrees about Kelvin values!

White Balance Part Two: Finding Colour

 

[Adam Bonn]

Continuing the White Balance series:

In the final part we take a look at ways of working with White Balance and seeing colour!

As Leica loaned me a M240 for a SHORT amount of time a few weeks back, it seemed only natural that I continued my series on the often made comparisons between the 2 cameras.

Last time I looked at the cachet between each brand, but now that I've had some quality time with an M, what did I really think?

Fujifilm: Is it a Little Like a…? (Part 3)

As Leica loaned me a M240 for a SHORT amount of time a few weeks back, it seemed only natural that I continued my series on the often made comparisons between the 2 cameras.

Last time I looked at the shooting experience between each camera, this week I look at the lens they lent me and wrap up what I really thought overall
