Panning shots at Bangkok w XT1

Setting my Fuji XT1 at aperture of f5.6-8 and shutter speed of 1/30s-1/60s. AF in continuous tracking. I experiment the panning shots of Thais moving in the streets.

Fuji XF35mmf1.4 in Pulau Ubin

Challenge myself with just one lens for this outing to our offshore island called Pulau Ubin. Armed with a 35mmf1.4 and a Gorilla Pod, I am off to this photo shoot.

My 12mm, 27mm and 55-200mm were kept at home.

As it is a equivalent of a focal length of 53mm, I have to move backwards or plan my shot. Limiting oneself with just one lens helps me to be more aware with the situation and think harder.

Here's the shots with the 35mm f1.4

XF35mm f1,4 modifcation for macro

This is one of the well-known lenses from the FujiFilm X-mount lineup. Some call it magical, some call classic feel. It is a useful lens for streets, portraits and even landscapes.

However, today I tried to modify it to be a macro lens. I add a Raynox closeup 250 filters in front and a 10mm extension tube on the back.

And here's the result....

Sentosa Island stay

Hongkong in Classic Chrome

This series is shot by FujiFilm XT1 with either 12mm, 27mm or Takuma 55mmf1.8.
All shot with film simulation of classic chrome.

During the few days of walk in Hongkong, my choice of lenses for each day is  2 lenses setup. Either a 27mm +55mm or a 27mm _12mm setup. The Domke f5xc bag was used during this trip.

The Zeiss 12mm is surprising useful for the street shots as the space in Hongkong is tight, the ultra wide view kind of show how the life in the streets lives.

The 27mm is the most used lens as expected. This lens is fun to use and as it looked like a fun camera than a serious piece of equipment. Using it in the street, one one seems to bother with it.

Night view of Victoria Peak. Shot handheld at 1/20s f2.8 ISO3200. I didn't bring my gorilla pod or tripod, so have to compromise the setting. At least it turns out good at iso3200 at a not so good light. XT1 with 27mm.
