Fuji x100F w/ TCL-x100 Teleconverter

As I prepare to post my review, I thought I would share a couple photos. I love how my original TCL-x100 Teleconverter looks on my new x100F. I had originally purchased it with my black x100S, but I think I actually like this look better. I’ve now owned every x100 and the love affair just keeps growing with this camera.

Streets of Tokyo with the Fuji x100F

This past July  my daughter and I decided on a whim to take a trip to Tokyo for a few days. She was out of school for the summer and it was perfect for some quality father daughter time. It’s been two years since our last trip. Scary how fast time goes by. On my last trip to Tokyo I had just bought the x100T and was testing it out.

Photo of the Day - Waiting for a customer.

Hey everyone. Hope your all doing well today. I took this photo last year while testing my x100T that I had just upgraded to. The photo is part of a blog post I did on shop keepers in Naha. Click here to view that story. I love how he's surrounded with so much merchandise and yet everything looks in place.

Weekend Getaway

Spent a few days with the family at Okuma Resort in Kunigami Prefecture.  We try to get up there a few times per year and we are never disappointed with our stay.

Zanpa Point

I drove up to Zanpa Point yesterday afternoon to shoot the cliffs and hopefully get a sunset.  The clouds ended up covering the sun as it neared the horizon but the colors were still pretty cool so I stuck around even as most people left.  I had shot quite a few images and I wasn't getting excited about any of them and then something completly normal but unexpected happened.  The light in the lighthouse came on. It took a few tries but eventually I got a shot with the light shining in my direction.  Perfect end to a long day and many hours in this one location.
