First Outing with the Fuji X-T1
So many good things to say about this camera, but for now I’ll just let the photos do the talking.
Wide Angle Black and Whites – Ricoh GR with GW-3 Adaptor
The weather is finally starting to cool down a little at night here which makes going out shooting a lot more tolerable. Even after 12 years in the tropics and subtropics (Singapore and Taiwan) I still can’t get used to this heat. Lugging around a big DSLR kit doesn’t help. That’s where cameras like the…
Nik’s Silver Efex Pro – Kodak 100 TMAX Pro
