Thank you kindly, George :thumbs:
 
As the weathers horrid outside thought I'd try out the newly purchased Fuji MCEX-11 macro extension tube fitted with the XF56. Nothing special...

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.

Great shot, but much greater than that is the story behind it. Really pleased you have beaten the terrible curse that is cancer. My father died from it recently and the dedication of the carers both within the NHS and the hospice he spent in final days in was amazing.

A part of me still wants to try out an X-Pro model, I am not sure why, but it just does...

Sorry Rick for your fathers passing, a shocking bloody disease!! The NHS are simply amazing.

My medical Team of experts advised me a stem-cell transplant in Jan 2018, my older brother was my blood donor, a 50/50 blood match which is called a Haploidentical transplant, quite a complicated medical procedure, I'm the luckiest guy alive, there's so far four of us alive from a Ward of twelve Leukemia patients.....not great percentages.....a hateful disease.

I embrace and love life every single day!

For better or worse, I know a bit about that journey. It's super tough and my heart goes out to you. Wonderful news.

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.

Thanks for brining this to my attention. I basically wanted to shift my Nikon D750 and move to a mirrorless setup for photo and video. The D750 has been solid in what has been asked of it but a lighter setup meant a smaller setup and easier load on any gimbal, tripods and monopods.

It seem this issue hasn't been resolved yet but endless YouTube videos rave about how good the X-T3 system is for video purposes. I want it to shoot events so it needs to pretty much nail focus. I tend to shoot manual but if wanted to pass it to anyone then rock solid auto focus would be a must.
 
For my personal floral photography I know of no other camera that can simulate or produce these kind of amazing results, superb punchy colour, I give you the; X-Pro1

Liking this Fujigraph very much, the low viewpoint & mono presentation works very well.

Great stuff, mega colours. I should give my Xe1 a try at this as, afaik, it's the same sensor

no it can't. its incredibly sharp and can of course be used for portraits - but the bokeh is not as pleasing.

Out of all the systems you have used / owned, where does the Fuji sit?
I am still considering options :o
 
Had a walk over the local hills yesterday. The Met forecast a bit of fog, which stuck around at ground level for a while. Cloud inversions are my favourite weather conditions, they never fail to lift my spirits. As I mooched around looking for a picture to make, I saw this sheep admiring the view as well.

Me too! Do you think the new Fujinon 80mm f2.8 macro can produce the same kind of images? [emoji4]
I miss my Fuji gear.......

I too have had the 80mm f2.8, and while it is a cracking bit of kit, you will never get the rendition & bokeh you do with the 90 f2. I don't use mine that often but really enjoy the output. In fact, I would put it up there with my old Canon 85 f1.2, but it's not as bulky!

I seem to fall out of love with landscape photography earlier this year but just started going out again and rather enjoying it again

A couple from the other morning from Radley Boathouse.

Beautiful, and the first one literally came to life for me here, I was having a coffee and a vape and the vapour wafted across the screen, right over your misty landscape, was a cool effect :D

All are great but the first is just stunningly beautiful, and b&w is a cracker as imo it could of come out of a Hitchcock film.

Great stuff Graham. I know what you mean, landscape & I have a bit of a love/hate relationship at times. Since we moved it's still in the love arena, for now...
 
Crazy I know, but I like it.
Just a simple tourist type Fujigraph taken at the Tate Modern in London UK of one of the Chairs scattered about the place. Although far from one of the exhibits etc I just found its isolation interesting and the way the light caught it and created the shadow on the wall.

X-H1, 18-55mm Lens, 1/4 sec @ F4.5, ISO-800, Handheld.

I`d be tempted to try and lose the floor, keeping the shadow if that`s possible ;)

Thank you kindly fellow snapper, I sure do appreciated your reply.
