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…
Tag: X-T30
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…

Used the True Chroma film recipe to…
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…
Early summer
The temperature has hit 20c and it’s a clear day. Perfect for a lunch time walk. It was a good opportunity to try out a cheap plasticky zoom lens Fuji XC 15-45 mm on the X-T30 II. I noticed that I pretty much took most of the photos at either 15 mm or 45 mm….
