Very nice Fujigraph Sir, really like the gentle lighting in this shot, and the overall presentation.

Cheers, had to wait a while for a person to pause in just the right spot for the light!

A quick shot from University of London's Senate House Building this afternoon. Lovely art deco place that doesn't look to have been modernised since it was first built. This is the main entrance hall (Crush Hall) and has apparently been used in many movies, often as a stand-in for New York/Gotham. More in a dedicated thread in Architecture and Urban.

The first shot is brilliant! The second one I would prefer is you were closer to the guy and the bike, it feels so far away.

Nice colours

Lovely Fujigraph Sir, nicely posed and exposed with good lighting, with the added interest of the little out of focus toy in the background.

Thank you again George. I’m fond of this one myself. Thanks for the detailed feedback as always

That`s a lovely shot Nick, for me though I would not of had the toy in though.

Very nice indeed. I think that the toy adds to the image. However, just a small nitpick... I would have liked to see all of the tail included. Lovely photo though.

 

[NickTB]

@Diamonddec Agreed re the tail. Schoolboy error!
@Dave70D i have some without the toy, just thought it added a bit of depth. But again, thanks for the comment

Hi all.

Anyone tried or bought the new Fuji XC15-45mm f/3.5 OIS lens ?

Regards;
Peter

 

[macvisual]

Trying to find some interesting angles on a very complicated building...

wOOOw Ash, utterly love this urban/industrial look, right up my street!!! Superb photpgraphy Sir..! Which lens was used....?....XF10-24mm..?

Regards;
Peter

 

[dave.hallett]

So fuji have agreed to fix my x-t10 free of charge... Even sent me pre-paid packaging to send it to them too! Result!

This is particularly good to hear, because this afternoon my X-T10 developed the same issue! Hope I get the same result...

The Bokeh in this picture really highlights the power of a Fuji prime - well done sir!

 

[jimmyjamjojo]

Arrgh! Unlucky! You can fix it temporarily by orienting it the right way and covering it with a bit of tape...

I made the enquiry via the "contact us" bit on the website before registering for a repair. Hope you get the same result.

 

[ashtennisguru]

Cheers.

Yeah, I would have liked to be closer too, I was at the full length of the lens I had with me and he moved out of the light by the time I got closer

Thanks Peter! They were both shot with the 18-55 (the only lens I currently own) and both at 23mm (the first with me pretty much lying on my arse though!)

 

[Jelster]

Thanks for the thoughts Steve, appreciated.

I love this shot Jelster. I'm struggling with the focusing system on my XT2 at the moment. Trying to capture dogs is producing more losers than keepers! Seeing these shots gives me faith.

Having the same issue here although need to buy I longer lens. Previously had a 70d which is currently on eBay

All I will say is have a play with the different AFC scenarios, personally I find number 2 works well as a starting point. But it's like anything new, you need to learn the characteristics of how the scenarios work, and your choic of lens makes a difference too. I don't have the 50-140, which is arguably the best lens that works with the AF-C system, but the 100-400 is fine, and the new 80mm f2.8 is good too.

If George can use the X-T2 for professional motorsport, there's not much wrong with it.

Pretty impressive captureenses with only one lens in your camera bag Sir, I'm impressed, neat.

It looks like that cyclist is carrying a little person, in their cycle basket.

A quick question for you Fuji guys. I’ve just received my x-t2 and am wondering which battery’s and cards you would recommend? I know cheap isn’t the way to go but what’s the best deals? I’m only an enthusiast . I’ll have one card for Raw the other JPEG. I was looking at a 64 for Raw and a 32 for JPEG. Any suggestion?

The Ex-Pro white ones are the ones people on here seem to be buying.

Batteries wise, I just popped onto amazon and bought a few with decent reviews with the same capacity as original. Think they were about £10 each.

I spent ages deliberating over whether to splurge on UHS-II cards or not. The camera is set up to use them but they're a lot more expensive. And not all UHS-ii cards are made the same. There is a big speed difference between them. I did ultimately decide to go for UHS-ii but there are probably very few occassions where it has made any real differene. In the end I went for 2x Fujifilm branded 32gb UHS-ii cards.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fujifilm-S...id=1518448553&sr=8-2&keywords=fujifilm+uhs-ii

Speed ratings are good and they did well in the various speed tests I found online.

By the way, I shoot compressed raw and jpeg to each card (slot 2 being back up) and 32gb would be enough for probably nearly 1000 images. Not sure 64gb would be needed unless you want to shoot a lot of 4k video.

Ex Pro White or Black for batteries Sir, most folk recommend the white but to be perfectly honest I've used both types and never found any difference in performance.

As for cards etc, we use Sandisk and have never experienced a problem.
