    Fuji Hi Fuji X -ers

    Thanks for the warm welcome guys. It's late spring here in Australia and the days are getting warmer and longer...I think this is a great time to begin experimenting with a new camera. Hoping to get out and about with the new gear over the coming weeks and months...but in the meantime, I'll...

    Fuji Hi Fuji X -ers

    Hi all. My name is Joe and just the other day I joined the Fuji-X tribe (courtesy of an XT2 and a bunch of lenses). Some of you may recall seeing me around every so often at Serious Compacts (I recognize many familiar names here)....I started out taking photos about 5 years ago with the...

    Nikon Showcase I forgot I took these...!

    Thanks guys. I highly recommend Japan as a place to visit, Tokyo especially. Fascinating city, amazing food and some of the friendliest people I've met on my travels. I'm already looking forward to the next trip to Japan, next time however, we plan to stay a full week in Tokyo.

    Nikon Showcase I forgot I took these...!

    As my health (and outlook on life) slowly improves I've begun to muck about with my gear again, also, I've begun to trawl through my Lightroom catalogue and tinker with old photos as well. I typically shoot and process within a day or two of the shoot.....these however have been parked on my...

    Nikon Nikon A / Ricoh GR / Fuji X70 with the RX100 just to confuse things

    I have a similar setup of cameras....a D750 as my big rig, a newly acquired GX85 with 20/1.7 and a tele zoom (I prefer m43 for telephoto) and at some stage either the GR or the Nikon A. WRT the GR vs A, the margins of difference are fine, yet those small differences can also be huge, just...

    Nice series Ray. That looks like a really great place to spend time with family/friends. Some really idyllic images there but #4 just pops off the screen.

    Nikon Dipping a toe back in....

    Thank you all so much for the kind words of support. With this condition being as it is, I deal with plenty of my own involuntary negativity...so it was a really positive feeling to have been able to go downtown and walk around with a calm mind and fire off a few shots, it's also a really...

    Nikon Dipping a toe back in....

    Hi Loungers. Been a while since I've posted, I've been busy coming to terms with a rather inconvenient bastard residing in my head...Anxiety! This unwelcome squatter made its way in entirely unannounced, like a bolt out of the blue, and has meant a total rethinking of how I go about living my...

    13/11 Paris

    Spent much of the morning feeling like crap....a mixture of disbelief and despair, the sort that you only feel when you watch on as humanity conspires to do something so utterly stupid and cruel to itself. I decided to do something about these feelings, to smother all this negativity, so I...

    Whats your favorite (Digital) camera for street photography

    I've settled on the Nikon A despite initially starting off with the GR. I found the Nikons compromises more aligned with mine. The GR is for me still the most tactile and comfortable camera I've ever shot with, its curves just site beautifully in my paw and is a real joy to shoot with....the...

    Nikon Showcase Nikon Coolpix A Image Thread

    Thanks. It's interesting how different cities can leave different impressions on people. Both cities can get quite hectic and both are usually bristling with activity...long into the night/morning. Downtown Sydney I feel has a more interesting layout, Melbourne can be a little predictable with...

    Nikon Showcase Nikon Coolpix A Image Thread

    Flew up to Sydney for a couple of nights with friends and took the A along, photography never quite works for me when travelling with larger groups, but it was great to get reacquainted with this camera again none the less. Way more misses than hits withmuch work needed to get the speed of...

    Nikon Showcase A taste of evenings to come.

    Sue, a native lens designed for an APSC sensor would probably be your best bet.....sigma does a 30/1.4 Art for the K mount....at about $400 is decent value but certainly not in the same league optically as the FF 35/1.4 Art......and then there is the Pentax FA31/1.8 which by all reports is a...

    Nikon Showcase A taste of evenings to come.

    Thanks for the feedback guys, appreciate it. @pniev ...Melbourne is a really cool place but you have to work for it in a sense because the city is so vast from end to end, Melbournes 'things to do' are very spread out, like with any travel in Australia, you simply need a lot of time...

    Nikon Showcase A taste of evenings to come.

    This is one of my favorite times of year, the dark grey dampness of winter begins to be periodically broken by bursts of glorious sunshine and blue skies...the promise of things to come. At first its sometimes just a splattering but more often than not, false promise....but then you get that...

    A cross-post from the Nikon D610 thread.

    Nikon Showcase Nikon D610 Image thread

    Thanks guys. @Luke ...often, I don't see the the true end result of my images until much later, despite this, I've never gone back and reprocessed. @Ray ...a 135 would be wonderful, perhaps Nikon will 'G' up the 135DC, but I'm kinda hoping Sigma does a 135 Art, only because it'll probably...

    Nikon Showcase Nikon D610 Image thread

    Picked up the Nikon 180mm f2.8 ED recently. Even before I purchased the lens I knew it would sit on the fringes with my 20/35/50/85 primes getting the bulk of the use....but I also new there would be those times when I would find a job for it...I guess it'll play a similar role to what the...

    Coolpix A back for $299.

    I "re-got" the A just yesterday from a local eBayer for $400AUD (about $280USD)....the poor guy only took 12 shots with it since purchasing it in April, also comes with a 5 year extended warranty. Really happy with this find.

    Alaska Cruise - Glacier Bay and elsewhere

    Nice shots Ray...'White Pass 175' and 'Glacier Bay 19' are really fine. I must admit however that many of the images showing the receding glaciers do make me a hint sad, a bit like seeing a weathered and frail old elephant in its final days.

    Nikon Showcase Nikon Coolpix A Image Thread

    Nice shots Dale. It really is amazing that Nikon (and Ricoh with the GR) were able to create such an amazing camera in such a tiny package...both lenses perform brilliantly at just about any aperture all the way through to the corners, even if corner performance is not your thing (it's not mine)...

    Nikon Showcase Saturday morning walk downtown.

    Thanks Ray. You're absolutely right, the vantage point I took the shot from makes it at first impression look an unlikely 50mm shot. The bridge is quite low with nothing but those very short tourist cruise boats being able to pass underneath.

    Nikon Showcase Saturday morning walk downtown.

    Thanks for the kind words guys. Ray, yeah the first was taken with the 20, the birds on a bridge was with the 50 and the rest with the 85....all G lenses. Speaking of telephoto, I have the 180/2.8 (the ED-AF version) coming my way soon which should be fun.

    Nikon Showcase Saturday morning walk downtown.

    Went for a short walk along the Yarra River in downtown Melbourne, it was chilly out but in a refreshing kind of way and feeling the sun on my face felt so good after such a horrid 2 weeks of nothing but miserable greyness, wind and rain. Best part of all was that I actually had the morning free...

    Ming Thein on street photography

    I get what Ming was saying with regards to things being shot a particular way 'back in the day' simply because of the technological limitations of the day.....limited to black and white film, having to shoot at higher noise/grain inducing ISO's and and when you didn't have the ISO to coax the...

    Nikon Showcase Coolpix A on a bike ride

    Nice...and a very pretty place to go for a casual bike ride. As it turns out, it seems taking a camera along with you on a bike ride may be an excellent and fun way to implement the widely popular and effective 'interval' type training.

    Nice.

Beautiful part of the world and can't...
