I’ve been taking some event photos this weekend and I’m so out of practice. I’m hoping I got a few good ones. I’ll have to wait and see when I process them.

I’m at an event doing some cosplay photography for fun and I’m so out of practice. I’m using a new digital camera too and I need to learn how its autofocus settings behave.

Photo of the Millennium Bridge on a sunny day with lots of people crossing.

It’s still crowded!

I’m near there today. I think I’ll need to head over and get a snap or two. I need to keep you on your toes and claim that bridge! 😁

Paella being made in a big pan at Borough Market.

People walking around Borough Market. Including a man with a tweed coat carrying a dog.

I’m just listening to the @photowalkme.bsky.social podcast. The trick with Borough Market is to go early!

Photo of people walking in the tunnel in South Kensington to the Museums. There are various people all walking away from the camera towards the stretch of museums.

Just a little snap.

PENTAX K1000 CAMERA Tintage SLR w/ 50mm 12.0 lens, fresh battery, strap & manual £275.00

The Photographer’s Gallery in London have some great Pentax K1000’s for sale.

I used to have an original X100 years ago and loved it, but sold it to put towards funding a Sony A7R. The X100 was so much fun, which is why I’m considering Fuji.

Speaking to a few people the consensus seems to be, use Capture One, or a more recent version of Lightroom. Or shoot Jpeg, as Fuji Jpegs are nice and you can utilise the film effects.

In my case my current version of Lightroom is vintage. It won’t handle Fuji raw files. So I might have to give Capture One a play.

Basically what software do I need to use for Fuji raw files? I hear they’re a bit different and not all post processing software supports it.

I’m seriously considering getting a digital Fuji Camera. I shoot raw. I’m trying to figure out a good workflow and if it’s worth it. Does anyone here have advice/suggestions?

But I had a think about it and the most likely thing I can think of if there’s a dispute with another person and the photographer, they can’t check the photos quickly onsite to confirm things.

I’ve been to a gig before and they wouldn’t let me take my film camera into the venue. They were fine with my Sony A7R II, but not my film camera. So I had to hand it into the bouncers if I wanted to enter the venue. They weren’t clear on why they didn’t allow analogue film cameras specifically.

I’ve just got a new camera. So first thing I do is go and take a photo of a cat. Who decides to sneeze on me. Now I’m wiping cat snot off my lens! 😅

this is fantastic and everyone should read it

I agree! A nice 35mm premium compact would have been more popular.

The Ektar is also more plastically and you get what you pay for with it. If the 17 was full 35mm would it have sold more? As half frame means more snaps, but lower resolution, which is a juxtaposition to a more premium price point.

For the tech in it, yes for the price, but there were elements in the camera that felt cheaper than the price point. I agree with the level 1 to 3 sentiment. You’ve also got to factor in the competition. They competing with Kodak Ektar which is significantly cheaper.

I agree too. It’s also an odd camera as it’s expensive, but also plasticy for the price point. I’ve had a play with one and couldn’t justify buying it.

How big will the raws be?! Assuming it’s like the GFX100S II it can be set to over 200MB per raw file.
