Foggy Morning Walk

by

Unless the weather is really lousy out I try to take about an hour walk around Rockport or Gloucester looking for interesting images. Last week I decided to also film it for my weekly vlog on YouTube. It was a fun experience and more like what I like to do photographically. I’m not really much of a tripod guy but I do try and get out for some stick landscape work once in a while. This particular morning the light was find of flat and it was kind of foggy but I enjoyed it just the same. I used a fun Fuji rig for this shoot the Fuji X-T30 and the XF 16-80.

Here are some of the images from the shoot.

A Techno Day

by

A few years ago I would have never thought this was possible. Make a photograph with your camera in raw format. Process said photograph in camera and convert to jpg then send to your phone or tablet with the camera app, then tweak it a bit in Lightroom mobile, and finally post it here or on Instagram or Facebook.

Both of these images were made with the Fuji X-T3 and the new Fuji XF 16-80 f4.

Earlier in the day I was shooting with the smaller X-T30 and a newly purchased 23 f2 and did the same thing with my phone and posted the photo below to Instagram. Wow! But since I needed it here on my iPad I had to transfer it from the phone to the iPad. No problem Apple Airdrop sent it right over. Pretty incredible.

Technology certainly has come a long way since we waited for the prints or slides to come back. For me it was a bit more instantaneous as I only had to wait about 45 minutes before I could make a print.

Fall Color in the White Mountains

by

Every year a friend and I try to make it up to New Hampshire, Vermont, or Maine for foliage season. Hitting the color just right can be a hit or miss proposition as wind storms and rainy weather tend to knock the color out of the trees. This year we were pretty lucky as we were able to make it up there when the color was not totally gone. Here are a few images from our trip. At the end of the post there is a link to one of the videos I made about the experience.
