I’ve been meaning to put these Lightroom 4 preset templates on here for a while, but just not had the time to get around to figuring out uploading them to the site! I’ve included two templates, a standard one that I use as a basis for general B&W photography on the Fujifilm X-Series cameras and [...]

I come from a zoom background. I have almost always used zooms with my dSLR gear. I had the odd prime knocking around, but the zoom was my mainstay.  That was until I started using the Fujifilm X100 and X-Pro1 gear.  I totally fell for the prime lens.  I just love using primes now, the [...]

I was stuck inside in the rain and just decided to have some fun and shoot product shots of my photo gear with a flash and a cheap £9 grid from Amazon.  The flash was set in manual mode and attached to the camera with a cable. Mostly taken with the X-Pro1 + 18-55mm zoom, [...]

Just for fun, I shot a quick comparison of the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 on the D800 against the Fujinon 35mm f/1.4 and the Fujinon 18-55mm f/2.8-4. Below are the three images I took – all shot at f/5.6 1/60th ISO 200 with a Nikon SB900 set at 1/32nd in manual mode.  All are jpegs straight [...]

New updates for the Fujifilm X-Pro 1, X-E1 and 35mm X-mount lenses are available. Go get it here!   http://www.fujifilm.eu/uk/news/article/news/fujifilm-x-pro1-x-e1-and-xf35mm-firmware-updates-available/ I’m not sure I can tell any perceptible difference in performance since upgrading, but every little helps, and the update seems to focus (pardon the pun) more on AF accuracy with the 35mm lens than increased [...]

I’ve been trying to figure out for a while now how to get my flash off-camera on my X-Series cameras yet still retain TTL function.  I’ve asked around everywhere but either nobody knows, or nobody seems to agree how to get it done, including Fuji themselves!  I spoke to a Fujifilm tech guy at Photokina and [...]

A firmware update is available for the X-Pro 1 camera. v2.01 adds full support for the new 18-55mm lens and allows the bright frame to be automatically adjusted in the OVF when zooming.  Fixes for the 3x MF zoom, AF issues with the 60mm lens and exposure problems with the M-mount adapter have been fixed.

I’ve been wanting to visit Chefchaouen for many years.  We’ve driven past it on a few occasions, but just never had the time to go and visit it properly.  Our time in Morocco was different on this visit because with my wife’s parents going to Mecca just after we arrived we’ve had some time to [...]

Fès is the second largest city in Morocco founded in 789, located in the centre of the country. It is famous as the founding place of Islam in Morocco, has the oldest madrasa (university) in the world and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It’s a huge sprawling city with a densely packed population and [...]
