Random question; what did you use to stick the back lights to the window? I was trying similar here, have the tree at the window which has only yellow lights [what the girls of the house wanted] but I want colour!! :D so have a set of colour lights I wanted to 'frame' the tree in the window with, but 3 different types of tape won't hold them, keep sliding off :/

Lovely image btw, I miss my girls being that age but they're still in the Christmas spirit :)

3M Command Fairy Light Strip Hooks :) They are brilliant, stick to pretty much anything flat and don't leave any marks. Got them from Amazon.
 
Went out-out with the X-T3 and 35mm f0.95 for the first time! Really tricky conditions to shoot in most of the time (it was very, very dark and chucking it down) at Longleat, but got a few nice shots. At f0.95 there is enough separation to still see where focus is even without being able to see a great deal.

Forced myself to go for a wander one morning a couple of weeks ago, headed for the beach which is about 350 yards from my house - took the x-t2 because 'well why not?'

Was only out for half an hour but got lucky with the way the water looked when some nice light happened

Quite like it. The lighting is interesting. Have you ever thought about making your own home-made smoke b*mbs and putting them behind the figures? You might have already seen this video but this guy does toy photography and is quite good. I think you've a nack for it.

Thanks :thumbs:

Ha that video is cool, and I hadn`t seen it before, so thanks for posting that.
I like the water blower a lot, but not sure on the bombs though :) I`d probably take my fingers off ...

Thanks, Dave (y)
I do seem to be gathering a few bits now ;) They`re not the cheapest, but seem to hold their value, should I decide to re sell at some point.
Thing is though, I love anything SW, so can`t see it happening for a while yet. Plus a new aquisition arrived today. But it needs a little work on it, to get it how I want :)

The used prices are pretty scary for those who paid the original costs!

My first X-H1 purchase has been my fastest depreciating camera ever !
It lost over £1000 in less than twelve months :mad: itdidn't stop me from buying two more though with grips the last one I purchased was under a third of the price of my first one in the space of less than two years:(
I certainly won't be rushing to get the X-H2 when that comes out !
In fact I will never buy a brand new camera again ! Quality used from now on if at all if it wasn't for my OCD/GAS I wouldn't buy anything I have way to much gear now 5 separate digital systems is insanity :police::runaway:

I left it wide open.

I have had a mixed week in Fuji...

The Peak Design tripod I won a few months back, finally arrived - which means I need to source an L bracket for my X-T2 (hopefully).

I say hopefully, because yesterday I took my son for a walk in the local woods, on the way to pick up his big brother from school. We had a great time, but when we got home I discovered that my X-T2 and 23f2 had been sat in the bottom of the pushchair in a puddle of water which had leaked from a drinks bottle. The camera is now drying out for a few days, hopefully it will be OK...

At least the files on the SD cards were alright!

I had been toying with getting a second Fuji camera as a backup, maybe an X-E1, but I think I will have to accelerate those plans...

If it was just water and no sugar or salt, and you didn't turn the camera on, you should be ok. Failing that, Fuji's flat rate fixing service?
 
I definately have to find something else to shoot soon ;)
This (maybe) the last starwars pic for a while, unless I can`t think of anything else. But the Speeder arrived the other day, so had to give it a go.

It had to go.
Bought a XT4 (new)some weeks ago, went away for a few days (Sept) and took quite a few images. Out of maybe 15 images 12 were out of focus or blurred most taken using a tripod and cable release, and AF. Sold it and gone back to a Canon 5D Mark iv.
I only bought it (along with additional lens) to lighten the load on my back.

Another "Excellent" close up style Fujigraph Mate, I personally like your creativeness and presentation of these series of shots very much.

Sounds like it was faulty or something to be honest
 
I like a lot about Fuji since I switched but the handling of the X-T3 drives me nuts. Does anyone here use an X-S10? It looks like it handles more like an old-school DSLR and may suit me better. Opinions from X-S10 owners would be appreciated.

Last one for today you mean ;). Have you been watching The Mandalorian? I'd like you to recreate the speeder scene where they troopers were trying to shoot the can. I laughed so hard at that. This one

haha ;)

Yes, great show imo (and a very funny scene). Also the doc on making it was really interesting too, if you haven`t watched that.

I could give it a go, for sure ;)

It was just plain (filtered) water, and the camera was not turned on, so hopefully it should be OK after a few days drying out. @davidy233's post from a few weeks back has given me some confidence.

I'm going to give it a few more days drying out, then try it and will contact Fuji if it doesn't seem right.

Left my x-t2 sitting in the stand behind the goal of a football ground on Tuesday night (god knows how I missed it when I packed up my gear) - it had body cap on and was in a cloth bag - nothing that could be described as waterproof however.

It got rained on, there's a roof on the stand but it wasn't far enough back to stay out of all the rain which poured for pretty much 16 hours Tuesday night and Wednesday - retrieved it on Thursday when I noticed it was missing and worked out that I must have left it there.

Bit damp when I got it back - took grip off and let it dry at room temperature - it seems fine now.

Ian Worth just put up a good video on that, giving his thoughts on it. I'm surprised you are struggling with the XT3 though. What is it that puts you off?

I didn't know they made a documentary on it. Thanks, I'll need to look it out! Of course you don't have to but just thought I'd give you some more ideas in case you were running out ;).
