The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

Just finished editing a few images from today, again with the X-H1 and 16mm, have to say it's about the most fun lens I've had in a long while. Every time I pick the camera up with this lens attached I feel the need to go shoot something, anything! Obviously not BIF or serious portraiture, but it can do a bit of everything and anything else.

The cat had brought me some feathers as a gift, hmmm - no idea what went down but there was this one I was being offered plus a couple tufts of random feathers scattered around the garden ...

Cheers Dave :)

Went for a walk today with the kids and took the 16mm hoping to get something interesting but .... nadda, there will be days like that - apart from a few snaps of the girls the day was bland and grey and nothing really stood out - at least i got some exercise :D

Nice set mate, think you will grow to love the 90mm as much as me.

I’m sure I will. In fact I love all the lenses apart from the jury being out on the 100-400.
 
So I did go out for a while today, red hot out but bumped into The Brighton Big Band and Dave Williams in the pavilion gardens. X-T3 + XF16mm f1.4.

For me I think, with all modern day cameras, there are way too many things you can pre set, and then if you don`t use said settings often enough, they get forgotten. Well they do in my case anyway ;)

Initially, Set it on Auto ISO up to 3200 or 6400, select min shutter speed, if you are shakey/or a grabby photographer put it on 1/200th, set film simulation to Provia, go out shooting, adjust aperture to suit.
 
Thank you guys,maybe i am just getting too long in the tooth,been using canon for too many years.
Will try the easy settings & see how i get on.:)
 
So. How did you get on ?

I'm a beginner (I know I've been here a little while but ill health has meant that I've done next to no photography over the last few years) and I'd like some advice please.

I'm hoping (health permitting!) to visit the Design Museum in London next week. I understand that photography is permitted, but flash photography is not.

I'll be taking my XT2 and either my 18-55 or my 18-135 - not sure which yet. I don't know if anything longer than the 18-55 is needed in museum?

I have no idea what the lighting is like or if there is any natural lighting. I was just wondering if any of you have any tips with regard to setting White Balance, ISO etc so that I can take some decent pictures of the exhibit? I know that if left to my own devices I'd probably leave everything on auto and hope for the best!

Thanks

More local exploration. Went to check out a lake just off the A303 which is part of the Fonthill estate. While walking along one of the paths we came across this derelict building, must be eons old as it has a tree growing through it. Anyway, we thought it worthy of an image or two. Mono definitely paid it more justice....

Well I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibition. It's the Stanley Kubrick exhibition which has been travelling around the world for several years. I watched a YouTube video about the exhibition in San Francisco and it was well spaced out and in a very bright enviroment.

The Design Museum exhibit was confined to a much smaller space (though I did spend over four hours there!) and it was very dark indeed. My photographic 'skills' vary from zero to minimal and I struggled in the dark exhibit space to get anything decent. The foyer was brighter and they had this beauty from the exhibit on display there:

Sorry for posting just a link, I seem to be having problems uploading the photo or even embedding the link :thinking:

If you have any interest in the work of Stanley Kubrick, whether his films or still photography, I really suggest a visit to the exhibit which I believe is running for a few more weeks.

Well all the Mods hit Brighton yesterday while I was in the pavilion gardens, so now batteries are charged up I`m off out with the X-T3 + XF16-55mm so hope some are still about.

I banged my head this morning and was wondering whether I had concussion. After reading your message and honestly thinking you meant a TP moderators day trip I suspect I might.

It's just something to note even when testing as some find the images over sharpened and artifacts in what should be smooth areas. I wish Adobe wouldn't force that over sharpening, it's had newer Fuji owners rethink the system.

The default is easily reset to whatever value you like for all imported images. Just hit the Reset button, move the sharpening slider, hold down the Alt key and set the new default. I prefer to have LR sharpening set to zero and do my sharpening in PS.
 
This is the first time that I have been into Uppermill when the sun was right to shoot the Methodist church and I was carrying a camera.
It seems that the X T30 is the best camera that I have owned for doing hand held pans this was two landscape shots one above the other.

I think there are a few here who have both X-H1 and X-T2/3. I've never had the X-H1 but tempted to try one.... For those who have both, what makes you reach for one over the other?

Since selling off my Nikon gear I feel that I should have a second body as a back-up. A new X-T2 for 599 is very tempting, but the X-H1 would be a more interesting choice I think.
 
@psybear

I’ve had 2x X-T1 and an X-T2. On my 2nd X-H1.
The H1 for me is a much better handling camera. I loved be the size and fit. I’m a confirmed back button focus guy.
Love the fact it has a dedicated AF-ON button
It focuses plenty quick enough for me, but I’m a pretty deliberate shooter.
I was going to settle for another X-T2 when the H1 dropped to £999
