It has been a very busy few weeks. Kasia and I have been working on a new photography platform – an idea that was formulated in our heads a long time ago but never got onto the drawing board. This year, that all changed. We have both enjoyed running this blog and we cherish and [...]
The problem is that at this time of year the hills and valleys in the Palouse put on an amazing display of greens and browns, enough to excite even the most demanding colour photographer. 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 [...]
Visiting Colorado in the fall is like hitching a ride on a fast-spinning carousel and looking through a kaleidoscope at the same time. Mother Nature serves up a magnificent show to visitors and photographers from all over the world in late September (if she’s on time). However, there are some traps. As most of you [...]
Fusion Festival is one of the youngest festivals in Canada but it has already received the ‘Best Cultural Event in Canada’ award. The festival is a celebration of music, food and culture from all around the world. What a great venue for photography! All Images - Fuji X-T1 paired with the XF 90mm F2. I [...]
Let’s make it clear: macro is not our long suit, neither it is our favourite genre of photography. However, given that we got our hands on the Fujifilm’s Macro Extension Tube, MCEX-11, we decided to match it with the XF 90mm F2 lens and go along with it. After all, we understand that some of [...]
While planning our photography trips we take into account multiple variables: the distance from the hotel to the shooting location, accessibility, weather, time of the sunrise/sunset, direction of the sun and even the likely number of tourists. Before leaving for Olympic National Park we knew that Hurricane Ridge would be one of the locations we [...]
Each world religion has a place of very special importance where millions of the faithful make their pilgrimage. Similarly, there is a place that every photographer should visit. It is a land like no other. The unconscious beauty of the land captivated us. The abundance of shapes, patterns and colours produces dream-like visuals, which might [...]
We added a new Links section to our blog where we feature websites worth visiting, as well a list of photographers we follow and admire. For example you will find a link to Thomas Menk’s Fuji X-series Scoop It website. We will be adding more links, so check the page occasionally. After years of working [...]
For a long time we have been planning to visit two of Montana’s ghost towns, Garnet and Elkhorn. While access to Elkhorn was fairly good, our day trip to Garnet was much more challenging. The main road was closed and we had to take a detour. It was a logging road – narrow, bumpy and [...]
Thank you so much for your comments and kind words. We have been shooting Fuji X100s quite extensively in the last few weeks and here are some additional (full review here) thoughts about the camera and the files it produces: The autofocus is indeed much, much faster. The camera is dead quiet, unlike anything else [...]
