Can you help me please.... When trying to import files into Lightroom, it is normally ok, but sometimes only lets me convert them to DNG. This seems to be only happening since the CC updated recently. Any ideas?

I’ve not noticed this on the latest Lightroom (Mac) with my X-T2.

I feel I may have a good copy of the 16-80, but still haven't played much with it. I am loving the feel, size and even when heavily cropping some pictures I have found the IQ still to be good enough for me - these are quite low res pics.
Thanks for your help with LR, I am not sure about bypassing and will look into it, but I have always thought I had to import them first to the catalogue. (pretending to know what I am talking about ;))

I get confused with the whole catalog, directory, formats etc too. Are you using LR CC or classic? I only use the latter.

I got roped into my daughters, media project. She`s doing a movie poster/DVD cover, and banner. She chose some spooky witch theme. Hopefully she can process the pix, but I got a couple of ones for myself. Light was pretty poor, hence the processing, but at iso 3200 what can you expect ;)
Here`s the first ...

Thank you, George :)
I`m gonna add the others to this pic, as opposed to spamming the thread with a bunch of single ones.
 
Any hybrid Fuji shooters or video shooters? How do you find the Fuji for video and what lenses are you using? 18-55? Fuji Primes? Adapted primes?

I've just started my video journey, I prefer the 18-55 so far, and that is with the X-H1, the X-T3 has an issue with focus hunting above F9 with eh V3 FW update. I have yet to try video on my other lenses other than the 10-24, which is also great on the H1.

Are you shooting manually on the 18-55 or relying on auto focus? I manually shoot with my Nikon DSLR kit and trying to see how the Fuji lenses are for such a task. I assume the focus hunt is when auto focussing? How do you find the lens OIS or you relying on the X-H1 IBIS? Do any hand held?

I am trying to downsize my kit but still have enough in the bag to enjoy the photo or video shoots without sacrificing too much.

The X-T3 colours, slow motion, 4k, EVF seem appealing if jump from Nikon.
 
I've done some casual video on the XH1 with the 16 1.4 and the 16-55 before that. The zoom worked a lot better because it's quiet during AF, using the prime you'd want off cam mics but it does AF well enough for video use.
 
Just a Heads up if anyone interested. Latest Capture one update includes the new Classic Negative style that is shipping with the X-Pro3. No doubt it will be released in further updates, but for now it can be added to other Fuji images with C1.

The hand held on the H1 is pretty good using any of the lenses, I have bought a Crane 3 gimbal but not tried it yet.

The hunting also happens when using MF, I think maybe focus hunting is the wrong definition but am not sure what else to call it.

There is a thread about it here if you are interested, this includes a video example.
 
We'd friends staying with us over the weekend from Manchester, we showed them some of the beautiful Loch's in/around Central Scotland. I used an external off camera flash YN560 III sitting on the ground pointing up for a bit of pop.

Very nice, the pop of flash makes it much nicer IMO. :)

This is a lovely Halloween Fujigraph, with a really nice expression on the childs face, nicely lit with good colour.

Thanks George, much appreciated :)
 
Back in the rainy woods yesterday. Only made 20 exposures all afternoon, and some of those were the same thing just at different ISO or aperture. But I was happy with at least six of them, which is about what I'd usually get from 60 or more! So I guess if the wet conditions raise the barrier to taking a picture, that's not such a bad thing. Fuji 10-24mm on an X-T2, and it was mostly being used as a 24mm prime, although the ability to go a little wider when needed was quite useful at times.

Yesterday I learned an annoying quirk of my X-T2. I was trying to photograph fireworks, using my new Canon remote and bulb mode. But each time I pressed the remote the camera seemed to lock up.

When I got home (disappointed) it turns out that in CL drive mode (my default) bulb defaults to a 30s exposure (with another 30 for long expose noise reduction). I should have switched to S drive mode.

Turn off LE NR, better to just do it in post and it'll speed things up a lot.

Considering it doesn't rain a lot :) But when it does it really rains!

haha I bet it does too. We used to go to Letoonia (just over the water, on the little chug chug boat). Never had rain though.
 
This is a bit of an emotional photograph for us, taken on 17th July 2017 whilst I was going through chemotherapy, although I looked great on the day I was struggling a lot behind the scenes. I was let out of hospital for the day and this was captured within the hospital grounds at the Maggie's building - amazing staff.

With the help of the Amazing/Fantastic dedicated nurses/Doctors/Consultants staff at Ward-16 Leukemia Monklands Hospital, Airdrie, Scotland who have helped us through the medical journey. I owe them everything.
