    April 21, 2014 /

    What’s wrong with this photo? Right, that’s one of the zillion’s, ubiquitous, boring rural landscape pictures. There is something, nevertheless, odd: panning from right to left everything starts bending. The foreground tree is vertical so is the red house, but when the road starts bending, the whole horizon does… The effect is achieved with no digital doctoring, just with a fish-eye (Nikon 16mm F/3,5) and a mindful composition.

    Damned Autofocus

    April 20, 2014 /

    I like this photo very much. The two travelers, mutually unbeknownst, stroke a pose like if they were on duty fashion models. Unfortunately, the Fujifulm X-E1 autofocus didn’t work fast enough and, as I’ve already told, zone-focusing is a pain in the neck without a properly marked focus-ring. Long live to Hasselblad, Zeiss, Leica and Nikon…

    A Fujifilm X-E1 Annoyance

    April 15, 2014 /

    The X-E1 is a good camera, though has some annoyances that make it less handy for Street Photography. Contrary to Leica, (some) Zeiss or (some) Nikon lenses, zone-focusing is not set on the lens barrel. You must do it either through the viewfinder or the LCD, and this makes problematic the switch from one technique to another. Same is true for aperture settings. Operating the camera one-handed, happened twice to me, led to a change of the image quality settings from RAW to Jpg. Unfortunately I wasn’t aware while shooting and I’ve wasted half a day in Barcelona getting inferior quality pictures.
