One of my favorite features of the Fuji X-Series cameras, including the X-T1 and previous models, is the in-camera RAW processing features. Ironically enough, like the famous James Bond inventor of magical spy tools, this Fuji feature is accessed using the ‘Q’ button. This portrait of our newest kitten was…
You don’t always know if you made the right decision until sometimes well after you made it. This was the case with the Fuji X-T1. I already had an X-Pro1, and X100s and an X-E2. Why did I want an X-T1? I labored over that thought for a few hours…
Pages for Black and White with the Fuji X-Series Settings for Great Black and White with the Fuji X100s – Part I Settings for Great Black and White with the Fuji X100s – Part II (here) It’s a long time coming, but I wanted too finish the discussion I started…
Fuji announced a firmware update for four XF lenses to take advantage of the LMO and PDAF of the Fuji X-E2. This version 3.10 is outstanding as I’ll tell you about in just a moment. First, I always forget what those acronyms stand for. I guess that comes from shooting…
I waited for two days as the tracking number showed my package getting closer to delivery. Like the initial hype of the Leica X-Vario, I didn’t want to build my expectations too high for the X-E2, but the concept of the X-Trans II sensor and better focusing was too tempting….

I spent a week at the Outer Banks of North Carolina with extended family. I shot over 800 images using only two lenses – a Voiglander Nokton 50mm f/1.5 (newest version) and a Leica M 28mm ASPH f/2.0. The next few articles will be some reflections and experiences on this…
Storm clouds are a favorite of mine. They are always changing, never the same twice and contain bright highlights and dark shadows. Clouds have character and live and breath in the upper sky. Clouds have terrific tonal changes and graduations. Clouds contain sharp edges and almost bokeh-like interiors. Coulds are…
