Best Fujifilm X-T1 Memory Cards & UHS-II Speed Tests

Fujifilm X-T1 is one of the original cameras that can take advantage of the UHS-II memory cards. I’ve ordered several of the most popular UHS-II memory cards and have included them in the Fuji X-T1 memory card speed test.
Fuji X-T1 Sunset At Redondo Beach

I recently added the Fuji X-T1 to my addition of cameras to cherish and love. I’m a camera whore, I know, but I really wanted to get into Fuji lenses to see what they’re like. And a ton of sales are going on with lenses and bodies, so I leaped with the plan to sell it when…
RNI Film Presets At The Beach

I recently picked up the RNI All Films V3.0 Lightroom presets by Really Nice Images and wanted to try them out on some beach photos I took in Huntington last weekend. I’ll post more photos with these throughout the next few weeks, but my first impressions are pretty good. Usually, I think most presets are not great…
First Photo Processed With Iridient 3 And It Is Sharp!

This is my first photo to be processed with Iridient Developer 3. I finally bit the bullet and bought it after playing with the beta for the last few months. There are many different things this software does that I’m still getting used to, and I want to have it figured out before going into…
Santa Monica Nights – Behind The Shot

This shot was quick and easy to process, and I’ll show you the tools I used. I have different techniques for processing my images, depending on the quality of the shot and…
Exploring San Francisco

Walking around San Francisco for a day is probably one of the best ways to test a camera. I was considering getting an Olympus E-M5 II for this trip but decided I hadn’t done enough with the Fuji X100T yet to start exploring other cameras. Exploring San Francisco – X100T It was one of those…
American Dining

I’ve been driving through Central and Northern California doing the thing you do when you do that whilst shooting all on the Fuji X100T. Except in Yosemite, I shot a little with my Sony A7r. Lately, I’ve kept that solely as my landscape photography camera, reserved only for when Mother Nature is in her most…
Delkin Prime V60 Memory Card Review

The Delkin Prime v60 is a less expensive alternative to the Delkin Power V90 memory card that differs really only in write speeds. With the V60 class rating, this UHS-II card is guaranteed to deliver at 60MB/s or 480Mbps when used in UHS-II devices. For shooting 4k or 8k video on this card, it will…
Sunset At Pacific Park

It’s not every day we get one of these sunsets in Santa Monica. I’ve shot the Santa Monica Pier many a time but have never seen anything like this before. I’ve actually never seen anything like this before in the many years I’ve been shooting beach photos in Southern California. Only when I lived in…
Lensmate FujiX100T Thumbrest Review

The Lensmate Fuji X100T Thumbrest has arrived and I thought I would take a few photos of what the black version looks like and share with you my experiences using it.
