Right Lens For The Subject
2023-08-01 22:19:00 UTC
Let’s stop and think for a minute. If you had to start all over again what Camera would you use and what Lens would be your first? When I look at how much gear I have amassed now it’s astonishing to me. It has taken me 10 years to arrive…

Fast Primes
2022-12-22 22:14:02 UTC
In the last 10 years, I have accumulated enough knowledge about Cameras and Lens. I now know what works for me. I figured this out simply because I HAD TO. I would happily travel the world with the X-Pro1 and the XF18-55mm F2.8-F4. That set-up is perfect for everything except…

35mm CF | Layers Part 2
2022-07-31 12:56:05 UTC
From the moment I got off the Bus, I started to see it; multiple subjects and stories. It has always been there - I have always seen it. What’s interesting is I was not aware of this context; Shooting in Layers. My Camera is set to give me good depth…

Deep Vision | The XF 16mm F 1.4
2022-06-10 18:22:16 UTC
There isn’t one bad Lens in my Tool Box. The Fuji Lens line up has reached epic proportions now. Each Lens in my Kit serves a specific function. The 18mm is my normal vision everyday lens. I see Wide and Deep. The XF 16mm is only 2mm in difference but…

XF 10-24 | Depth of Vision
2022-05-18 13:03:55 UTC
The one thing I love about this Lens is its capacity for deep depth of field. I don’t use my Wide Angle for shallow depth of field. This Lens is not designed for that style of image. This Lens is about creating a visual narrative with sharp focus all the…

Wide & Closer
2022-05-13 22:32:32 UTC
Even though 18/28mm is my natural vision, I still need to use this Lens correctly. Foreground interest is a must. Getting close is imperative because this Lens pulls of an optical trick which is amazing. It pushes everything in the frame backwards into the distance. So Foreground Interest creates the…

X-System | Seeing Normal
2022-03-08 17:47:54 UTC
The 50mm is a classic Lens - no question about it. I have documented my thoughts about this standard Lens and field of view somewhere on this site. If you have been following my Journal and musings, you will know about my wonky field of view. The Nifty 50 to…

X-Pro 1 | Still a Classic
2021-12-24 12:45:11 UTC
With the latest developments in the Fuji Ecosystem, it makes my head spin with astonishment at the sheer options available. My museum has grown - long before the lockdown, my collection of Lens and Cameras were set. I have what I need and very happy with my tool box. Today,…

Seeing At 50
2021-05-05 19:09:50 UTC
The 35mm Lens for the Fuji X-System is not the Full Frame equivalent of 50mm. It is 53mm. The 1.5 Crop Factor gives me 53mm. I think subconsciously this put me off and I did not use my XF35mm F1.4 as much as I could have done. When I did…

2020 Vision | Kamlan Faces
2020-10-30 22:16:53 UTC
I am committed to creating more images of people with consent. I love the conversation, building rapport and simply asking. My subjects know why because I tell them the truth. “I have a new lens which is perfect for faces, the light in you right now is perfect, would you…

2020 Vision | Think Like a Tourist
2020-05-01 12:14:35 UTC
I love to Travel, the adventure and excitement sets me up perfectly to create images and document my life during this experience. When I am home, I have fight off the boredom and think like a Tourist to get out of the house with my Camera. I have lost count…
