Photograph and Camera talk

Just picked up a Fujifilm X100F, it’s bloody great. Coming from an entry slr it feels great in hand. Haven’t got out to shoot properly yet but I’m excited to use it.

I took my mom to a Lenten fish fry this evening and they were kind enough to let me go inside the church. The stained glass and marble were beautiful.

Used to take mirror selfies, then I read of some dude on here or selvedge style forum, who used his TIMER function on his cell phone. So I tried it out by propping/leaning my cell against two objects (shed door frame and tool box on a shelf) bout chest height and used the 10 sec delay and 3 shot burst. Turned out way better than I thought it would–outdoor indirect sun light helps and screw the flash. Trial and error gets you dialed in on angles, poses, and distances. Takes many, delete most, only share the flattering ones!
Def no camera pro, but way better than indoor mirror pics that I used to post, and gives a whole new world of perspective on how you look with different combos, and feel it propelled my style game up a few notches. Mirrors lie. Yes, you feel like a douche but its worth it for the growth potential, and its fun to share your new/old IH goodies with the world.
Love to read what @rocket @Haddtoo 555 @Appfaff @den1mhead, @Cole @BloodnThunder @neph93 @twin @summ3rhays @madmonday @Max Power @Signal11 @mikebarhoot @motojobobo @Jordan23 @Matty123 @spitfiredealer and all the rest who I'm forgetting do to get their shots, so we can keep this bad ass thing that we all love growing strong. Really pumped on the current state of wdywt thread but always room for growth and new blood!!!

Personal I just use my Iphone connected to a bluetooth shutter remote (Amazon). Put the phone somewhere and shoot some pics. Sunlight is your friend, as well as shooting a few more pics, since you can always delete em. Try and error and don’t overthink the lot… it’s about having fun and not work imo...

Clearly you have fun Rocket, it shows, brother!

How do you prop your camera when out and about?

@Dishelveled I'm not a big fan of smartphone pictures and in fact never used one for waywt selfies. My smartphone pictures are all taken by my wife, i dont even know how to set a timer on my phone camera.
My selfies are taken with my ricoh gr II. I couldnt love a camera more - its easy to use, the quality is enormous and it fits in the pocket of a denim jacket. I place it somewhere in chest height, take a series of 5 timed shots and choose the best. -
@Dishelveled I use a combo of what you do and what Rocket does. The benefit of the bluetooth shutter release button is that you have control rather that being reliant on the timer. In terms of propping up the phone I improvise using anything to hand including the wife

Currently I use the timer on my iPhone which shoots a 10 pictures series and improvise with the stand. Stairs, walls, tree trunks, fences and stuff like that.
The downside is, that your phone gets flooded with way to many images.
The upside are moments like this:

Use iPX. And timer. The lenz on back of phone yields greater pics than front w screen. The trick is positioning the phone at waist or above levels and propping it with various things. I use the tool bag in my truck most times.
Really like the pics from my X tho.

And thanks for asking.
