There's no room left now and I can't get any more in the bags!
I'm guessin' you'll just have to get a bigger bag David.

Oh and sit on the naughty step.

I'm too scared to order a 3mm magnet. I doubt I'll get away with another bag.
Just to make things worse, the sp2 printer is being delivered today.
Life, it was fun while it lasted..........

I've posted a couple of these in the nature forum as well, but might as well put them in here as they were taken on an XT-2.
We had a hedgehog move into out garden last year and this year she's had babies. We've bought a house to put over her nest, and although she's very shy, her babies aren't, so they've been a regular photographic subject for me over the past few weeks. I've never shot nature before and don't really have the gear for it, so I've had to adapt and have been using my XT-2 and 16mm F2.8 on a Gorillapod, linked by wifi to the slightly erratic Fuji Cam Remote App. It's an improvised setup (a faster lens would be nicer), but I've been pleasantly surprised at how well the XT-2 copes with low light - it's not as good as my D4 but I didn't expect it to be. As the hedgehogs are under a shrub I'm shooting close up, and trying to freeze small movements, so I'm keeping the shutter speed quite high, and I've been using higher ISO's. ISO6400 and 12800 are cleaner than I thought they would be.

Looks very much like a rebranded version of the Dorr XB36 ball head I have. In which case it's a very nice piece of kit.Just taken delivery of my new ball head to suit my X T30. I noticed them on Ebay and at the price seemed worth a gamble as I had always wanted a low profile ball that had rotation at the Top.
I also liked the look of the more unusual ball tightening method.
Apart from the fantastic price of only £28.99 delivered ( said from china but actually posted in UK and came in under a week) It has proved to be exceedingly well made to very close tolerances and locks down solid as a rock. they say it will hold up to 12Kg and I would believe it.
Main features
On the top plate there is a miniature but very accurate spirit level
Both top and bottom rotators are smooth as butter and lock solid with no effort.
The 36mm ball is both smooth easy to adjust. and because it is locked around the circumference, does not move one iota with no sag, as it is tightened the lock lever clamps it rock solid with no effort.
With only a 75mm profile height with out mounting plate It adds minimum leverage.
The swiss type quick release is very precise with no play.
The weight with out a plate is 241 gm
and a nice little head cover bag....
Overall I am exceedingly pleased with it, and it is the easies ball I have ever had to level up and frame an image. ( mostly I do not care for ball heads so I am difficult to please.)
As part of my normal kit of Fuji X T30, Small rig L plate and Manfrotto 190xproL it compliments the rest very well.View attachment 285151View attachment 285152View attachment 285153

These are great Andy, just getting that close with a camera must of been great fun. Wish we had some "hogs" in our garden...
Thank you!Love those and their little sty.
Three very nice wild life Fujigraphs, well seen & caught.

Been away from this site for a bit, but still getting out with the camera. Will take me a while to try and catch up with the pages, but will start looking through. In the meantime, I took this one last weekend

I'm really quite pleased with the way this snap has blended together as it's my first time at putting a different sky into a snap (in colour). I guess it's a kinda international presentation as the foreground is from Kent UK and the sky is from back home in Tennessee USA.
Just a simple Landscape type Fujigraph taken at Kent UK of a walking/cycling track looking as if it leads to the sky.

I am quite gobsmacked at the quality for the price, even the arrises are bevelled, so there is no danger of scratching yourself on them. Many other makers leave sharp machined edges all over the place. At the price I could not resist. I have a heavier ball head and several lighter ones that were not up to the job.
Any XT-30 users? Giving some serious consideration to picking one up, but just wondered how it stacked up in real world use against an XT-3.
Thanks in advance.
Simon.
Looks quite natural. Not something I’ve ever experimented with myself

Afternoon all. I'm just about to push the order button for a 23mm F2 but I've seen that it can be soft fully open at close distances. I'm really not fussed about pseudo-macro distances but can anyone say at what distance this disappears? As long as it's ok at say the distance across a table that's good enough for me. I know it goes if you stop down but for indoors I can see F2 being desirable.

Very tempted, how do you find the viewfinder on the T30 Terry. I wear glasses and I got one of these find them useful espically in sunlight. Drawback they slightly obscure the LCD
Thank you so much Paul mate.,
“This will be the very first year that I’ve not been back in the states for this day. I was hoping to get back home by now as its also very close on our cotton harvesting time and I’ve also not seen my wife since February, much to her pleasure I should imagine”
George.
You are very welcome, mate
Argh that sucks. I hope you've got something fun planned though. Haha @ wife's pleasure. I bet you'll have a super long jobs list waiting for you, when you do get back
No sign of this overcast sky letting up, so more moody shots from me (X100V).
