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.
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.
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.
Tsuken Island, also known as "carrot island" for it's shape is only about a 15 minute ferry ride from the main island of Okinawa. There's not much there really except farms and fisherman. In fact you can rent a bike and ride the island in a couple hours. This shot is from the port where the ferry drops you off. Hope everyone has a great day. Thanks for stopping by today.
A couple a weeks ago I took the ferry out to Tsuken Island about 15 minutes east of Okinawa to shoot their annual Dragon Boat races. Tsuken is one of the islands I can see from my home (although I didn't figure this out until after I got back).

Everyone there is pretty much either a fisherman or a farmer, with carrots being their crop of choice.

While you can rent a bike for the day for ¥500 (about $5.00) and ride around there's not much to see really. I'm told that the waters around the island are great for snorkelling however.

I think I was the only foreigner on the island that day but I was welcomed with open arms and treated very kindly by everyone.
Two very kind ladies at a local (possibly the only) restaurant helping me decide on which Kakigori (shaved Ice) flavor to get. Food was great too as I eat lunch there later. Fuji x100.
