Last night I loaded up the Fuji X-H1 with the 16mm (24mm equivalent) and the Leica M-P 240 with the 28mm Summicron and headed down to a spot I haven’t been to in years, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. As you come up from the CKS Memorial MRT Station you are greeted by quite a sight. Heading […]
Read More Glowing Buildings – Fujifilm X-H1 and Leica M240Like many out there, I started out shooting family events and gatherings, moved on to travel photography when I was a little more mobile and then I picked up the odd wedding, portrait session and event gig.

I knew this day would be busy, full of adrenalin and I wouldn’t be too focused on the photography so I wanted to bring something that would suit the conditions. Trying […]
Read More A Lotus Exige and a Fuji 16mm f/1.4 R WRWow, this is an incredible lens. To be more specific, this is the Fuji XF 16mm f/1.4 R WR. It was a rainy night when I headed out for these images and the weather resistance came in handy. I’ve used a few wides in the past, but most of them are f/2.8 some are f/2, […]
Read More Rainy Night in Tokyo with Fuji’s XF 16mm f/1.4I read a lot about this lens and saw a few sample images and decided this would be a solid purchase. However, the thing that solidified the deal was being able to try it out at Bic Camera, Shinjuku store. I shot a few images, brought the camera home and loaded the fired up Lightroom. I was […]
