Image courtesy of Jonas Rask To attempt product-photography for the purpose of this blog entry would be a giant waste of our time. We are just not capable of producing better X products images than those done by the visual virtuoso, Fujifilm X-photographer Jonas Rask. Make sure to check out his review of the XF 23mm [...]
I decided to join the “hands-on” craze – from Vancouver! I should have seen it coming. After all, we knew Fujifilm has been working on it for years (thanks to Zack Arias for pushing for it and Patrick of Fujirumors for such a great job providing us with all the pieces). And we knew it [...]
When I leave home for an event or for street shooting I often take my Fuji X-Pro2 and one lens. It’s usually the XF 35mm F1.4 (50mm in FF). However, this time I decided to grab a lens that goes into my bag only when we hit the road – that is, the XF 50-140m [...]
Since we have already taken a dive into the dangerous world of G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome), let’s beat ourselves up for one more post. I promise the next time we will return to the normal and important subjects (in fact later this month we will be leaving for a super road-trip across many states and [...]

However, once you add the right lighting to the mix, you think you have landed on the set of the Alice in Wonderland movie. At [...]
This land stretches 54,826 square miles, an area larger than England. Structures such as the toxic tailing lakes are some of the largest human-made structures in the world – so large that they can be seen from space. The land has been rearranged, altered and manipulated by human activity to the point that it is [...]
Over the course of the last few years we have enjoyed sharing our work here, having great discussions and meeting our readers during our trips. The majority of the feedback we received has been constructive and well articulated – whether positive or negative. But there is a fly in the soup. On occasions when our [...]
We joined this year’s April Fools craze with the piece “Enough of this mirrorless nonsense.” Thank you for laughing with us and not taking this babble of ours too seriously. Today I would like to touch on a personal note. We photographers have a tendency to work hard on our professional assignments or projects. However, [...]
The first lines of our 2016 blog said it all: “It is easy to pat yourself on the back in this serene atmosphere.
