Photograph and Camera talk

@tody Oh man, what a pity! If I only knew.. I’m in Cologne quite regularly though (I believe 4 times over the last 6 months alone), so I’ll definitely make sure to hit you up next time for a Kölsch and some IH talk
On another note: I’m really digging your hometown! So authentic and vibrant. -
@weftyarn I think you might be right as far as holding out for the newest version to arrive. Ive got to believe that the overall hype has been legit based on the videos I've seen.
The older models are probably just as good---but that image stabilization is a must have for me---my nickname is Shakes Malone
Thank for the input man--- -
@Giles Thanks for this heads up Giles--watched the video's attached and like this model quite a bit.
Thing is I really need some stabilization when I shoot. Not going to use a trip-pod on the streets or on a walk.
Its not that I even NEED this camera --I usually shoot Nikon and have for years now.
But this Fuji just , dont know...speaks to me somehow.
If there is one thing I've got..its patience. unless it comes to a piece of IH that I absolutely must have! -
photos look great @weftyarn
-
Thanks @louisbosco
I just watched a really interesting interview with German photographer Siegfrid Hansen.
Have a look here:
I’m in love with his his very graphic and geometrical street photography. He has an amazing eye!

They're all good @weftyarn . I particularly like the woman in the Window GARDINEN.
-
@weftyarn gorgeous
-
@Jett129 I've seen a few Alejandro Escovedo shows and theres always a few that leave because its too loud. maybe thats why my ears ring
-
Thanks guys! It’s so awesome to see how many of you actually look at my posts and find shots they like - means a lot and keeps me motivated.
@Jett129 Man, that Hollies track is awesome! Perfect road trip sound too, added to my vacay playlist.
And yes, now that I think about it I realize most of my really great shots are „through“ something. Windows are a always a great opportunity for story telling.
Bonus shot

Nice^

@weftyarn great shots man! I don’t know if this been asked before but can you give me some insight on the material you’re using?
-
@Heavy_blue thanks mate!
I started with photography in 2018, so I‘m actually still pretty new to this. But as with clothing I was really lucky to very quickly find my style and never bought cheap. As my first kit I got a Sony A6000 together with a Samyang 35mm f1.2 & Samyang 12mm f2. I was on a low budget and did not want to pay a ton for something that I never thought would evolve into such a great hobby, so that‘s why I went for manual primes over AF primes. And apart from saving money it was also perfect to learn the basics of focusing, depth of field etc. At some point I figured out how to manually prefocus and do no-look street shots while walking with the camera literally swinging in my hand, which is awesome for street photography (nobody notices you…).
So that Sony A6000 was the Edwin/Nudie of camera gear so to speak.
And after having figured out what a great hobby it is, I wanted the IH of camera gear (if you leave Leica out of course haha)So in 2021 I then switched to a Fuji X-T4 together with the Fuji 23mm 1.4, Fuji 56mm 1.2 and a Meike 35mm 1.4 (manual). 23mm is now my absolute favorite focal length and 95% of the time i have that lens on my camera.
My father also uses a Fuji (X-T2), so I can borrow his 35mm 1.4 (which above pics are shot with). On the wish list are the 90mm f2 and the mighty 16mm 1.4.So yeah, still on prime lenses and probably will never change. It makes you work / walk and together with the nostalgic user concept of the Fuji X-T series with all the dials etc. it is the most fun photography could be for me.
Too many options kill the shot.Post processing is really simple.
I have my own custom in-camera film recipes, shoot JPG only and only very rarely edit my pictures (other than cropping). For the limited edits I make I use Affinity Photo (highly recommended alternative to Adobe PS).This turned out longer than expected haha.. Hope it helps
