    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…

    A Fuji Xmas At Big Bear

    For Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, my wife and I decided to get out of town and go up to experience winter in Big Bear. It was also a great place to take photos with the Fuji X100T. I originally planned to shoot some landscapes at Big Bear Lake or Lake Arrowhead, but you know…

    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…

    Above The Sky – Mount Kilauea

    I meant to get back into some of my photos from Hawaii, but I’ve just been so busy doing all the Fuji X100 T-tests and reviews that I keep forgetting. I got some nice shots in Hawaii; it’s almost too easy when you go to such an amazing place like that. Every place you go and…

    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…

  • Classic Chrome – Raw vs Jpeg FujiX100T

    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…

    Going Handheld – Antelope Canyon

    This was my second visit to the Antelope Canyon in northern Arizona. It’s a great place to stop for a few hours if you’re ever driving through. This time I did things a little different. I had with me a Sony A7r instead of my Canon 5Dmkii and decided to just go in with the…
