Thats a great shot Jeff, lovely light and great reflections. Just looked at the full size version in Flickr and the detail is amazing the X-E2 combined with the 23mm resolves loads of detail.Finally an evening with some nice light down at the docks...
23mm with XE-2

High iso indoors no problem.Been thinking of a XE 2 not sure which lens though yet.
But first of all what this cam like with tracking. And how good the AF. And how good is it with low light indoor shoot high ISO??
As thinking one of these over the XPro 1. And Sony A7 as the price of the XE 2 are good at mo with offers
Any samples for low light high ISO folks pls?
Hi mate,Ok thanks I did look but no info what ISO.
Will it handle taking images little one running. I though it got a fast shutter according Fuji spec
Which lens and camera. Much editin to that? As it fab
Do u shoot JPEG then to get velvia on camera?Camera and settings; X-E 1 - XF 14mm - @ f/9 - handheld - iso 1000
Not much mucking about in LR5 to be honest, I selected 'Velvia' to slightly enhance the colours, that's it.
ISO 1000 for bright day?? Or was it to freeze the swansCamera and settings; X-E 1 - XF 14mm - @ f/9 - handheld - iso 1000

How you manage get that effect. Is it due to the lens or camera or processing. As bright face and nice shadow bokehOne from this weekend. Messing about under one of those space blanket things...

Think I read about this feature on LR. Think I need to get it as aperture now deadAs always it's a combination. Getting it right in camera is key, so for the shallow dof, you need to shoot as wide open as your lens will allow (in this case f2.8). The effect is accentuated by having something in the foreground close to the camera whilst you're focusing on something behind it. Processing wise I use the radial filter in Lightroom to focus the attention on a particular part of the shot, in this case his face. You want to invert the filter and reduce the exposure, which effectively darkens everything around the desired area. Hope that all makes sense.
Reading the photo..
- The catch lights reflected in the eyes indicate a large square-ish light source behind the camera.
- The soft shadows reinforce the impression that it's a large soft light source
- The shadow under the nose tells me the light source iscentral and high relevant to the camera axis
- The comparison with the yellow-ish light falling outside the blanket suggests the light source is daylight (window) or daylight corrected (flash)
The Strobist 101/blog has a useful section on reading a photo to determine lighting. Light is everything.
I was sure the light was behind the camera, but bouncing the onboard flash inside a big mirror tent probably accounts for that. Certainly created some nice soft shadows.Pretty much nailed it. It was obviously a very confined space, so used the onboard the flash from the XE2, bounced upwards off the roof of the silver blanket. Then white balance corrected in LR... but it I'm not 100% happy the w yet. Then as per above, used an inverted radial filter to focus attention.
I have to say, I find the XE2 onboard flash surprisingly useful
I think a lot of beginners spend a lot of time shooting ISO 100 and wondering why their images are not pin sharp. They don't realise that their ISO choice is compromising the aperture and/or shutter speed values and the sharpness is suffering either because the lens is not being used at the optimum aperture or the slow shutter speed is introducing movement in the camera and/or subject. Letting the ISO rise to allow the other settings to optimise is often the right thing to do.If feel everyone nowadays nearly all select 100/200 iso for pin sharp images (depending on light conditions etc), personal choice.
