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.

Photo of the Day - View of Nago

This past weekend my family and I drove up north to view cherry blossoms in Nago. We drove to the top of Nago Central Park where they have a great viewing spot. I took this with my iPhone 6s Plus using one of my favorite camera apps, 645 Pro and edited it in Adobe Lightroom Mobile.

Surfing and The iPhone Cinematographer

Photographer and cinematographer Sven Dreesbach recently worked on two surf video projects that show the possibilities of mobile cinematography. Sven created one, "Dark Waves" for a music video project for Robot Koch , and the other, "This Moment" as a pretty cool slo-mo video. Both were shot on an iPhone 6.

Awesome Skiing Video Shot on an iPhone 6

I've seen a lot of amazing photos and videos shot with iPhones. Swiss Professional Skier Nicolas Vulgnier however, recently shot a 360 degree video of himself skiing with his iPhone that simply blew me away. I'm still trying to figure out how someone can spin their iPhone around their head, connected to a string while they are skiing down a mountain. I'm not blessed with any degree of coordination, so even skiing down the mountain would be an accomplishment for me, so the idea of spinning my iPhone around me at the same time is simply crazy to me.
