Pre-Travel Prep: Get Familiar with Your Fujifilm Recipe
In September, I spent nearly two weeks photographing beautiful Italy. While there, I used two film recipes, one for Matera and one for Florence. I wanted to separate the two locations, creating a different feel while still maintaining my style of photography. With Fujifilm, there are many choices when it comes to shooting modes.
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. I wanted to use black and white as the absence of colour can convey a nostalgic throwback to the past and direct the viewer’s attention solely to the composition, shapes, lines, light and shadow.
Fujifilm Simulations and Recipes: 3 Reasons Why They Make Sense
Film photography has experienced a remarkable resurgence in popularity. What used to be reserved for the nostalgic few gained interest, with many looking to return to a tangible process and achieve a unique look for their images. Digital photography was introduced long ago and since then has improved immensely and offered convenience and technical quality that made film mostly forgotten by many.
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.
Using Fujifilm Recipes for Street Photography
I have been shooting with Fujifilm for a few years now, starting with the X-E2 from years ago. I loved that camera for its size and photo quality. It remained my No. 2 camera for travel for years, and although it was only 16MP, it was mostly fine for travel photography. When I used the X-E2, I never experimented with JPEG or any of the included film simulations, as I thought that RAW would be best in any situation.
