really like this, I would never have seen an image here, but I really like the result

The classic bulls eye rash symptom does not always occur, if you start to feel fatigued or get flu like symptoms over the next 2 weeks insist that your GP starts you on a 2-3 week course of doxycycline without waiting for a test. You can elect to take doxycycline as an antimalarial and it is...

Lovely sunrise today on Crook Peak. Still getting used to the 14mm. Sunrise from Crook Peak by Alastair Begley, on Flickr

does anyone know of an L bracket for the x-e3 which doesn’t have an extra grip?

if anyone has a suggested workflow for panoramas in lightroom and affinity on the ipad that would be great. Panoramas and photo merging are the one think i’m missing at the moment. The way I ended up doing it was to: Process one image in LR Sync all changes Export to tif Open in afinity Merge...

very impressed by fuji. I had an issue with my joystick on the camera. I registered the repair with fuji, they sent packaging and a pre paid postage envelope which arrived the next working day. Posted my x-e3 back to them on monday afternoon, and it was returned by 11am today having been fixed...

Shot with an x-e3 and 50mm f2. thanks all for the comments

After deciding not to go out this morning, the fire alarm going off in the house we are staying in at 5:30 made me change my mind. Glad I did now. Laggan reservoir at sunrise by Alastair Begley, on Flickr

If I am planning on doing panoramic photos I put this between my tripod head and tripod so I can easily level it. Then depending on the head add a pano base, and then my tripod head. This enables panoramic photos which are not 100 % horizontal from the head. levelling base ...

Still loving the small x-e3 for walking. Spent a long weekend hiking around Tyndrum. This are two photos from the last day. Stag below Buachaille Etive Mor by Alastair Begley, on Flickr. A frozen Rannoch Moor by Alastair Begley, on Flickr blog posts: Stob a’ Choire Odhair and Stob Ghabhar...

I do not have an XT3 but I do have an XE3, do you have dynamic range set to something other than 100 and shoot in raw? If so then this could be your cause as I believe this manifests itself in lightroom as being underexposed by a stop on DR200 and two stops on DR400.

not yet, just spent too much money on a camera and lens! Also, will probably just get the f/2 due to the size/weight

Yea, thankfully wide should be fine for most of what I want to do. Will probably try and pick up a 35mm prime as well, which should then cover me for most of what I want to shoot in the mountains. If I wanted to do zoom stuff I wouldn't be buying a tiny body :)

looking forward to joining this group tomorrow when my X-E3 and 18mm f/2 arrives. I mainly shoot in the mountains while walking and climbing (blog: http://mp-m.uk), but hoping that this will re-invigorate my enjoyment photography outside of the mountains. I used to shoot with Canon DSLRs but...

Just my 2c, I have been slowly downsizing for a few years, 1D3 --> 5d3 --> GX1 --> 50D/RX100 --> RX100, and I am very happy with my rx100. Fantastic image quality from a camera which I can fit in a pocket, and if I try I can use it in thick winter gloves!
