"Relaxing Text"

Just a simple candid street style Fujigraph taken at London UK of a guy just relaxing on his bag texting. At first I thought the guy might be homeless but it turned out he's far from that. We ended up having quite a nice chat. I still asked him if I could take a snap of him though.

I love these, and I especially like the colours. Like @bl0at3r said, I'd love to know how you did the processing!

Thanks a lot :D

So 1 and 4 are using a preset I was sent then adjusted some of the HSL settings.

2, 3 & 6 were using a preset I made a few months back where I was trying to get an Alen Palender look. They'll then have adjustments to HSL and/or tone curve. Increases in contrast, shadows & blacks, clarity and dehaze. Decreases in highlights, whites and texture. Purple and magenta desaturated completely. Blue, aqua and green desaturated but the amount would differ. Reds and yellows made more orange, and also desaturated slightly. Slight blue/purple midtones and slight light green shadows in 2 and 3.

Number 5, similar to above but with lower decreases & increases in the tone and presence settings. Yellows have been made more green, aquas made more blue, blues lighter. Purple & magenta dropped, everything else desaturated slightly.

All will have adjustments to the tone curves but that's image specific. I hope that helps.

Got myself an X-T100 as I wanted something a with a few less knobs and dials than the X-T20, I've read a lot of the xtrans vs bayer debates but I can't really see much difference...

For the first time using the X-T100, I decided to head somewhere local that I know well, Monsal Head.

lovely view,
I wonder how long they will be able to afford to upkeep those old railway viaducts.
 
Hope this is the best place to post. Looks like I’m off to Iceland next month. Have an X-Pro3, 16-55 2.8 and 23 1.4. I reckon these will do a good job but at some stage I’m looking to get a 100-400 (for wildlife) and wonder if I should get it before I go, as not sure how much use it would get. I’ll be there a week and going along south coast and western peninsula. Thanks

If you're going to get it anyway, get it & take it with you by all means.

One caveat is that it's a big lens to cart around & if you're concerned about weight it might not be very practical.

wow I loved these old MK1 Escorts I owned a few through the 70s,80s & 90s and this model along with the MK1 Capri and MK1 Cortina are probably my favourite all time cars that I’ve owned in the past.
love the black and white treatment a cracking image

This has happened to me TWICE ! Clumsy old fool that I’ve become my 56mm f1:1.2 dropped on concrete floor in studio and 50-230mm tripod blew over on a windy beach.
both sent to Fuji for repair and were fully serviced and back within a week :)(y) Fast faultless service from them both times:fuji:

They messaged me yesterday to say they'd received it, fingers crossed it won't be with them long. Looks an easy repair, as long as it's just the plastic ring that's bust and nothing else inside. FIngers crossed.

Great shot as usual, I am picking up a bike again next week after a couple of years away. Would love to have a trip around Scotland next year. We are in Edinburgh next month but not on the bike.

The lines are great in the the first one. Nicely spotted.

Its a cool place to shoot. Did you venture into that crazy cool, but expensive lighting shop?

I didn't spot a lighting shop, though I would have gone in if I had. But my neighbour makes fancy light-fittings as a hobby and I'm spending a fortune with him instead. I'll look around next time I go.

The shop is Tom Dixon. The nice this, is that they don`t mind you taking pix in the shop, which makes a change.

Having looked at the 100-400, it’s a heavy old lump and am now looking at the 70-300. Anyone happy with it, read several reviews and it seems pretty good, the longer zoom being marginally better. Anyone used the teleconverter and is there any difference opinion quality between the x1.4 and the x2?
thanks
 
"Tidy Up"

Just a simple candid street style Fujigraph taken at Covent Garden London UK of a couple of young ladies sitting down with one of them having a bit of a tidy up.

Back up the Shard as the weather was promising. The great sunset I was hoping for didn't materialise but I liked these:
