The Netherlands with a couple of Fujis

norim_13 · 21 Apr 2016

Last month I went to The Netherlands for a few days, and took with me my most recent aquisition, a Fuji X100S, and a Fuji X-E1 with a Samyang 12mm. I've already posted a few pictures in Fuji threads, but here are all the photos I put online:

Very nice representative selection.
I love the Pidgeon chaos, extremely well timed and captured.

Lovely set, well done

Pigeon and red doors are nice. Watch the converging verticals on the set though. Something you can recover in ps.

Thank you both.

Thanks. I agree, but that's the type of edit I don't usually do, because I like to only make low effort adjustments in Lightroom

Lazy me.

Haha. You need to find an auto button!! I use camera raw on pscc and hit auto and it usually straightens and corrects well.

Thanks. Yeah, I like the film look. I usually carry a film camera alongside my digitals, but for travel I don't use it much.

Unmistakable balconies and windows of the Nieuwmarkt housing development by Aldo Van Eyck and Theo Bosch on the left there.

Didn't know it was an "important" building... I was there without any guide whatsoever, so I probably ignored many things that were worth noticing

I like these a lot, they capture the atmosphere nicely, and I like the colour treatment in the processing.

RomneyTansley · 17 May 2016

All very nicely done. Just shows what brilliant picture-taking machines modern cameras are. What's not to like! Go on enjoying!

Mrbaker · 18 May 2016

Pigeon chaos is my favourite well done

Seems to be the favorite of most people

How do you find the Samyang 12mm? What's your opinion of it - ease of use and IQ.
Thanks

Thunderbird010 · 30 May 2016

Nice varied set there Joao the pigeon one is my favourite as well. I need to use the Samyang more often.

Sorry for the late answer... I find the lens very easy to use. I usually set the apperture to f5.6 or f8 and the focus ring to somewhere between the 1m and the infinite markers, and it's good to go. IQ wise, I'm not much of a pixel peeper, but I find it great.

No worries - I took the plunge and bought one - very please with the initial shots and can't wait to try it out properly
