More Fun With the Fuji X100s
I just wanted to take a moment to share some more randomness with the Fuji X100s. As usual, there was no specific thing I set out to take photos of, rather, I just photographed what caught my eye. Some of the photos were shot indoors and some outdoors. Regardless of whether they were done inside or outside the X100s performed great. Honestly, I just keep it on the same setting all the time, which is auto ISO. When I'm outside, the only thing I really need to do is turn on the built in ND Filter.

In good light I really don't have any problems focusing or exposure. The X100s, locks on quick and almost always nails colour and exposure. If i'm looking to adjust the exposure I just use the compensation dial. Unless I'm shooting something professionally I just use JPG's and not RAW. There just really isn't any point since the it does such a fantastic job with the JPG's.
As I mentioned in previous post's, I use custom presets that I have built or start with a VSCO filter and then adapt it to fit my needs. Each photo has it's own tweaks and fine tuning. That's what I love most about processing the images. Once in a while, for black and white photos, I'll use Nik Silver Effex Pro 2. Thanks for viewing!
Downtown Port Arthur with the Fuji X100s
It was another chilly day out yesterday but I figured I would walk around still and get some fresh air. This time around I brought my Fuji X100s. It's a such a fantastic little camera. It's a different experience shooting with the Fuji then it is with my slightly larger D610 full frame camera. The main difference I find between the two, is the use of EVF. In direct sunlight I did find myself using the OVF but most of the time I just held the camera up and looked at the screen. If the exposure was good, I took the photos. If it wasn't perfect, I simply changed the exposure compensation dial. I just find it a bit faster in certain ways.

As with Simpson Street in Fort William, Cumberland street and Downtown in Port Arthur has it's share of some run down buildings. But there is also a lot of great character as well. Each part of town has it's good and bad.
My settings for the X100s were simple. Auto ISO, Neutral Density filter applied, the Pro Negative Standard jpg setting and I was off to the races. Even with the jpg's in Lightroom, I really didn't have any problems with the Dynamic Range, especially seeing as how the afternoon was bright sunlight. I was able to pull back the highlights in almost any photo that needed it. I'm always impressed how well the X100s performs in this regard. As usual, I used a combination of VSCO filters combined with my own tweaking.
