A lunch time walk along the Wellington Harbour was a good opportunity to try out some some B&W photography. I thought I’d give the Newspaper recipe another go. This time took out the Fuji X-100VI. All photos taken with the built in ND filter turned on to avoid over exposure, and are JPEGs straight out…

Home time
After work street walk capturing people people after a busy day. Sunsets are nearing 6pm now, so I was hoping for some nice twilight shots. However, it was a typical Wellington early spring weather. So not much of a golden hour. Weapon of choice today was the Fuji X-T30ii with the Viltrox 56mm f1.4. Intention…
Streets and alleyways
Took out the X-T30ii for a lunch time walk with the Viltrox Evo 75mm f1.8. I decided to shoot everything at 160 ISO and f1.8 today. This is probably the sharpest lens wide open that I have. Weather was nice and sunny, so had to change the settings to use both mechanical and electronic shutter,…
Trying a manual lens
The internet got me. I’ve seen one too many Youtube videos on how you must use some fast manual primes to be a photographer worth their salt and gave in. I tried out the TT Artisan 50mm f1.2 during lunchtime walk to see if I am any good. I was worried I won’t be able…
Cuba St
Another lunch time walk on a freezing overcast day. Took out the Fuji X-T30ii with the 75mm f1.8 Evo lens. Shot with the Classic Negative film simulation with a cooler white balance to portray the cold I was feeling. The 112mm full frame equivalent is very tight and I’ll have to learn to frame photos…
Queen Street
Trying to make a habit of taking the camera along more regularly. Came to Auckland for some work and utilised the opportunity to take some snaps walking down Queen Street to catch the train at Britomart. Photos taken on the Fuji X-T30ii with the Viltrox 56 mm f1.4. Used the True Chroma film recipe to…
Winter walk
It has been a rubbish winter so far and finally we had a half decent day. I thought I’d make the most of it by taking along the X100vi for a lunchtime walk. It was a bit of a dull day for lighting, pretty typical for short winter days. So I used a B&W Fuji…
Beautiful Scotland
I recently went on a holiday trip to the UK, where most of the time was spent in Scotland. These are some snaps, taken with the X100vi, with the wide converter lens.
WLG Candid
Just recently I took the opportunity to take some photos as I dropped off my folks at the airport. Aim was to capture some emotions, but at the same time not take photos that are too sharp to identify individuals. I took the X-T30ii with the Fuji 50 mm f2 prime with me. I figured…
Evening at the Garden
It’s been nearly twelve months between posts. So as I went to the light show at the Botanic Gardens in Wellington, I was adamant I was going to take the camera out. It was a bit of a juggling act with family in tow.
All photos taken on the Fuji x100vi on aperture priority, with f/2 and ISO 800 to allow for the low light. Shutter speed was automatic. I slapped on the wide converter lens so I wouldn’t have to be so exact about framing. Didn’t want to be the annoyance that ruined the family outing.
