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.

New Enve Shots and BTS ...

A couple images from another recent shot I did with Enve Modeling.  I tried out my new lightweight fabric background I recently purchased from B&H.  I think I'm going back to paper though as I wasn't all that pleased with the look of the fabric.  It was much easier to carry and setup which is why I bought it but the fabric shows too many wrinkles that have to be Photoshopped.  I could wash them out by lighting the background separately but that's not the look I had in mind for the current projects I'm working on so It's looking like I'm going back to paper.

Lorena

Had another shoot this past Sunday at Enve Model Management to photograph their newest model Lorena.  Lorena was a pleasure to work with and did really well for her first photo shoot.  Also got to see the life-size banner with one of the group shots I took last year.
