Fujifilm X-H2 Setup: Travel and Street Photography in Barcelona
Travelling to Barcelona, I wondered what and how I wanted to capture. First, I wanted to be able to capture everything as sharply as possible, and that meant I had to sacrifice something. As I wanted a minimum shutter speed in all conditions, the ISO would inevitably need to increase based on the lighting conditions. Second, I wanted to shoot “blind.” The X-H2 has an articulating screen that makes it easy to shoot without looking at your subject.
Peggy's Cove with the Fujifilm X-H2 and 23mm F2
I visited Peggy’s Cove a few weeks ago, which was my first time being there in years. It was a brief visit, but I saw the changes since my last time there. Our last few weeks have been somewhat gloomy, and the sun had rarely appeared, but this night, the forecast called for clear skies. I knew it would still be quite cold with the wind around the lighthouse, which is typical.
Classic Monochrome: An Excellent High Contrast Film Recipe
Last month, I completed a personal project focusing on the uptown area of my hometown, Saint John, New Brunswick, in Canada’s oldest incorporated city. For that project, I focused on the uptown revitalization and what I remember growing up in the city.

How the Fujifilm X-E4 Changed My Photography
With the Fujifilm X-E4 being discontinued on numerous sites like B&H, we will soon be introduced to the inevitable replacement, whether an X-E5 or something else. Whatever it is, I’m sure it will be great. With the discontinuation, I feel it is a good time to reflect on my experience with the X-E4 and explain how using this camera has changed my photography.
Kodak Portra 400 Fujifilm Simulation Recipe: HFX Street
As part of my ongoing street photography project, I walked around downtown Halifax, capturing photos using a different simulation. I was using the Fujifilm X-E4 with the 35mm F2, and the recipe I chose was the Kodak Portra 400. Also, I have been shooting both JPEG and RAW in the instance that I wanted to process my RAWS differently, but for the times I have shot both, I never bothered much with the RAWs.
Shooting JPEGS with the Ilford HP5 Plus 400 Simulation
On Saturday, I spent about an hour walking around downtown Halifax, capturing street photos as part of my HFX Street project. I primarily focused on Queen’s Marque, located at the Halifax Harbour. Queen’s Marque is a new public space that had its grand opening about a year ago. The $200 million investment includes a lovely waterfront walking area surrounded by new retail and commercial, restaurants, and a boutique hotel.
