Who Needs A Machine ?

Out and about today and came across this lady washing her clothes at the local irrigation channel.

Novel way to do it.

Enjoy.

These are shot with the FujiFilm HS-10. They have been edited for colour and levels, and have been sharpened.

Aperture Priority Mode, f 6.4, DR 200%, ISO 200, Standard film simulation, 0 EV, AF Tracking on.

Rope and Stuff

Think I must have a rope fetish. Every time I'm near the waterfront I'm always looking for rope shots.

Anyway, found a few today plus a few other things such as a Horse on the beach and some Squid drying..

Enjoy.

These are all shot with the FujiFilm HS-10. They are not edited but some have been straightened, and some have been cropped slightly.

Aperture Priority Mode, f6.4, DR 200%, ISO 200, Standard film simulation, 0 EV, AE Spot, and AF Tracking on.

Lotus

Out and about today and came across a Lotus pond. Love the colours in these flowers, so thought I would grab a few images.

Enjoy.

PP Tips 19 - Editing With FastStone

This is part of a 'How To' series on post process work.

One product which I use on almost a daily basis, is FastStone Viewer. Not only is it an image viewer but it also has some image editing functionality.

FastStone is not what I call a 'full featured' image editor, but it can certainly be useful for basic editing functions for either Jpeg or Raw files.

Anyway, I have made a very quick overview of an image edit. As it will be difficult to see the images here, I have created a PDF file which can be downloaded here

Please download and, above all, enjoy.

For reference, here is the original 'as-shot' image followed by the image as edited in Fast Stone.

FujiFilm X100 - Right On Mio Cade

One of the photographers I have been following, with regard to FujiFilm X100 images, is Mio Cade (not real name).

His images are superb.

To view the set of his X100 images at Flickr, click here

As he displays the images he makes some small observations. One of my favourites is this one :

' ... I do not care if the camera has interchangeable lenses, bulletproof, idiot proof, fastest focus, great IQ (I just learned of this term today), etc. Rather I will think of how to move to the right place at the right time, at the right angle, at the right exposure setting, at the right composition and at the effect that I want ... I deliberately leave out mentioning the weakness of the camera. The greatest weakness is the photographer himself, including myself ... '

Right on Mio Cade !

Make sure you also have a look at his entire photo stream. A fascinating set of images. Click here
