Photograph and Camera talk

I use an X100F and I absolutely love it!! Very easy to grab and go and not think about gear.
Here is one of my all time favorite shots on my X100F

I'm starting a digital photography class in January. I took a photography class decades ago, and learned how to remove film from the camera and get it into the darkroom, I learned how to develop photos, and I learned all about photo composition. This will be a whole new world, and I'm really looking forward to it. It'll be nice to brush up on terminology and learn some new stuff. I'll be borrowing my wife's Canon Rebel, which I'm guessing it a pretty old entry-level DSLR. I'm sure it'll be fine.

I loved the fuji x series when I had it. Went through an x100s, xt1, and xpro1 with a number of lenses. Out of all of them I think I preferred the xt1 just due to how snappy it was and the viewfinder was actually worth a damn. I couldn't let go of not verifying focus with the optical rangefinder on the other two cameras. Maybe it's gotten better now, I don't know. Ultimately I just got frustrated with the whole system and it feeling more like I was doing photography with a computer and got the camera I really wanted and bought a leica. You might want to consider that too if the budget allows. A used 240 is an incredible camera still...I still shoot with one.

I do still miss that Fuji 1.4 / 35mm lens though....
While it was a little slow to focus it renders beautifully.

@Danimal506 Great shot.

@ROman Thank you! It’s one of the few that I have printed and hanging on my wall.

Sometimes I like this „paparazzi“ style like in the 80s or 90s with dircet flash. Taken with Leica M6 TTL, vintage 1.4/50 and Hitchcock XX film

@Marc2706 direct flash, with black and white film. Slamming combo.

I do a lot of local rock and metal bands portraits in my studio. This is a hardcore band named DECEPTIONS that was recently in for some shots. I use a combination of LED lights in studio and prefer it far more than flash.

@pechelman Beautiful pictures from Japan and it makes me want to go back. I have a box of slides at home that I took while I lived there - should dig them out and go down memory lane. Thanks for sharing.

@Denman-John yes, please!
