The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

We didn't get a huge amount of snow here last week (just the howling gales and icy roads!) but I found a little bit lingering in the hills yesterday and liked the contrast with the browns of the dead heather.

X-T2 and 18-55.

What a beautifully taken landscape shot Andrea, great composition and the gate then leads the viewer right into the shot.
 
Just a simple tourist type Fujigraph taken at the famous Alcatraz prison at San Francisco USA of one of the Shower Blocks. I've deliberately added a bit of grunge & tint to this snap during PP as I just kinda think it suits the scene.

X-T1, 18-55mm Lens, 1/18th @ F2.8, ISO-200, Handheld.

Good composition with interest from front to back.

Interesting shot. Just emphasises the size of the place.

Very nice Fujigraph Ma'am, good foreground interest, some nice distant detail, and beautiful colours.(y)

George.
 
I reworked one of my early Fuji shots. Taken in North Wales about 18 months ago, with my X-T1 & 18-55 (which my son now has).

Welll-composed shot but, and I hope you don’t mind me saying, to me it looks a little over-sharpened. :)

Thank you kindly Sir, I sure do appreciate you takin' the time to reply.(y)

"The whole area is pretty large, very interesting, and kinda spooky":)

George.
 
I don't mind at all. I've gone back to the original and removed all of the sharpening. Does this look better?

Yes, I think it does. Did you use the Dehaze function in LR by any chance? If so, it might have over-increased the clarity in the background.

Or just pushed the Clarity slider too far. I agree, it's a nice shot but the haloing on the horizon looks odd to me.

Now you mention it, I did use a graduated filter in LR, and that did throw in a large wedge of Dehaze. I'll be honest and say that I have fairly much taught myself LR & PS, and then I had to start again when I went over to Fuji :rolleyes:. What does surprise me is that the foliage as maintained it composure, even though this was shot 18 months ago on an X-T1.

I'll go back to the original RAW file and have another go later....

Thanks, Dave, I don't often do landscapes so I was pleased with this result.

Good composition with interest from front to back.

Thank you, Stephen, much appreciated :)

Thank you, George, the dead heather was surprisingly photogenic :)
 
My last 2 from the snow...

Possible London Meet

I know there was a bit of interest, and I was looking at dates, but...

This weekend I could only do Saturday PM
Following weekend is the Photography show

So how does the 24th/25th sound?

By which time sunset should be around 6pm, so an afternoon session may be a good idea.

Anybody interested let me know and I'll generate another thread.

I be intrested.
 
Loving the recent pics, especially Chris and Andrea!

Here's one from last week. I just had a long weekend in Cambridge which should yield a few pics even though the weather wasn't very helpful until this morning, but I've got an Oxford backlog to look through first!

Very nice Fugigraph Sir, good colour & exposure with the added human interest.(y)

I thought exactly the same myself, George! But there are limits to my Photoshop skills and I quite like it anyway :) Thanks for the kind thoughts.

I can't do the 24th. 25th might be possible, but don't let that affect the decision, because there's a decent chance I won't be able to make it all. Like the idea though!
 
Another from last week. Sometimes it's about craft, technique and meticulous attention to detail. Other days it's more about being willing to brave sub-zero temperatures and avoiding getting snow on the front filter :)

That's a nice shot that, so much texture in the snow, absolutely lovely....

Great lines. Lovely image

Sometimes a bit of both. ;)

Thank you all, very kind comments. I have a strong sentimental attachment to this place, it's a funny little corner but there's nowhere quite like it and I've never seen it in quite this way before :)
 
Looks more natural Chris.i loved your Nikon FF stuff also,i think its the colours on the Sony shots im not so taken with but its a personnel thing really

I think more of processing. I bet you if he shows you the Sony shot untouched it looks like this

Yes after looking at Chri;s flikr,there are a lot of photos I really like but agreed the ones im not keen on are for my tastes over processed but each to their own.
