Landscape Photography With The Fuji X100T

When you think of a landscape photography camera, I bet the first thing that comes to mind is a Nikon D800 - or the Sony A7r. Am I right? I bet you never think of Fujifilm. Well, a lot has changed over the years, and now our small little cameras pack a serious punch.

HDR Photography With The Fuji X100T? Yes You Can!

When I first started shooting with the Fuji X100T I noticed the options for shooting HDR photography kind of sucked. +-1EV? Seriously? There is also this other problem, when the shutter is set to auto it will only go as slow as 2 seconds. I knew these Fuji cameras have some potential to shoot some really stunning HDR photography because of the film simulators that look amazing. The trick will be working around these limitations.

How I’ve Set The ‘Q’ Menu On The Fujifilm X100T

I've been shooting for years now with the Fujifilm X100 series of cameras and have come to really love the Q menu. The ability to customize your settings and get to anything you want with a single click is genius. Here is how I've changed my Q menu for RAW shooting with the X100 series of cameras.

Fujifilm X100T – A Real World Review

Not too long ago I made the leap into the FujiX100T fixed lens system. But why this camera? Why only a 16-megapixel APS-C camera with a fixed lens when I already own a Sony A7r with a few great lenses? I used to think megapixels and dynamic range were all that mattered, but now after going through a few different camera bodies over the years, I've really come to learn that it's the physical camera itself that matters. Not just the specs, or the pixel depth of the sensor resolution, but the way the camera feels in your hand, the experience of shooting itself. I've come to learn that it's the actual physical process of taking the photos that I enjoy and the Fuji X100T is absolutely perfect for this.

Classic Chrome Raw vs JPG

Classic Chrome – Raw vs Jpeg FujiX100T

Out of curiosity I wanted to see how the FujiX100T manipulated images between JPEG and RAW when using the new Classic Chrome color profile. At first I would have thought that they would be almost indistinguishable or at least extremely close. After all, why would a JPEG image look any different than the RAW with Classic Chrome? The profile is built by the same company using the same curves. But the results are actually surprising.
