I haven’t spent enough time with my Fujinon 10-24mm since it returned from repair. It is a fun lens to use, especially for landscapes. My only gripe is that whoever repaired it left a giant piece of dust on the inside of the rear element that screams at me when shooting anything over f11. I’m so tempted to open and remove the thing, but I shouldn’t.
I shot on this night with the Sony A7r II and the XT1. I might post some of those A7r II shots later, but this XT1 shot just called out to me; the colors are much nicer for obvious reasons (It is Fujifilm). One crazy thing about one of the Sony A7r II shots was you could read the letters on the street sign between that crack in the bridge. It’s unbelievable that you can achieve the resolution you want. But for the sake of shooting for this blog and occasionally making smaller prints, I’m very happy with what you can do with the Fujifilm APS-C system, which has become my primary camera system. I wish it could auto-brack more than one stop.
Rainbow Bridge – XT1
For processing, I used Photomatix to get the initial look, then did some extra exposure blending and enhancements in Photoshop. Nothing too complicated; the RAW’s already looked great.
