X100 images thread...let's get this party started....

[ashwinrao1]

Every other camera has one of these at GetDPI. Why not the x100....other forums have amazing images...here are my humble first 2:

Obligatory first self portrait:






I can't wait to do some real photography with this new camera. I am sure many of you have made amazing images already, so let's start a thread of images!

[Rich M]

OK.....I'm in.....who's bringing the chips and salsa?

[Millsart]

Will be looking very forward to hearing your impressions on the camera and seeing some of your always excellent images Ashwin

[jonoslack]

Stinkers!
I was going to start this one . . . but I don't have a camera yet - hopefully later today . . . . hopefully!
waiting waiting for the citylink man (he's lost in deepest darkest Wymondham).

Great start though - Ashwin I love the first self portrait, and Rich - the red wotsit is excellent.

Are you shooting RAW? I'm considering breaking all my rules and shooting jpg for a while.

all the best

[Terry]

Yes, what would be even more fun is to see who started each "fun" thread on the forum and to ask the question do they still own the camera now. I know that I am guilty more than once !!!!

Yes, you bad girl , now I'm quite sure that I've never been guilty of any such thing.

[Diane B]

I was just sitting here laughing at Terry's post and your name did come to mind LOLOL. Gosh, this camera does look interesting. And--already a couple of interesting images.

Jono....jpeg only......they seem to have a lot of latitude if there is any desire for PP.

I have done little if any PP on any of the images I have shot to date.

I'm afraid I posted some on the 'oops' thread . . . . apologies to those who've seen 'em there - here are a few of them.


Here are some first samples

Second Shot: (first shot had camera shake )



Here are some more from later (no time to change settings with an uncharged battery!)













All the best

[ashwinrao1]

Jono, those are FANTASTIC, especially your dog and the macro shots. I can't wait to get out into the sun and use mine today!!!! Already adorned with the A&A red silk neck strap and Match Technical Bug soft release!

Ahhh! camera adornment eh! Mine has a simple leicatime wrist strap, but that's it - no case, no bug, and no lens hood!

Thanks for the kind words - I hadn't a clue what I was doing, and I assumed that I was on the old firmware (but apparently not). Then I thought it was dead (put the battery in back to front ). Startup seems a bit slow, but it takes a picture when you press the shutter, and the jpg files seem to be fine.

Important to remember that when you zoom in to 100%, that's a big part of the picture, 12mp ain't 16, and it certainly isn't 18 with no AA filter!

Still, it gets a cautionary thumbs up from me.

[The Smoking Camera]

First day with the Fuji X100 at Cinco de Mayo.
Pretty much OOC jpgs.
Nice low light capability, but focusing a bit slow.
All iso 3200 except last one at 2500.

[jonoslack]

Hi Joe
These look fine (last one especially)
how was it in all that rain?

Thanks Jono.
No problem in the rain.
Just stayed under a cover or put the camera in my cargo shorts pocket.
Last shot in a club (trying to stay dry).
First time I have shot without a camera bag in years!

[Mark Gowin]

Looking good guys. Although I won't be able to contribute, this will be a fun thread to follow.

[ashwinrao1]

Lovely images above, espcially the partying people!!!

[ashwinrao1]

A couple more test shots...assessing how to push colors....

My X100 is at my dealers so it will ship tomorrow two day express and I should be shooting by the weekend WooHoo!

Woody

[ashwinrao1]

Hi Joe,
I normally shoot in RAW, and convert after the fact, but in this case, I believe the images were modified JPEG's...one of the things I have to adjust to with the camera....

Best,
Ashwin

[ashwinrao1]

Woody, congrats! Can't wait to see what you can do with the camera!

[Rich M]

Tomorrow's lei......









All jpegs....

[retow]

Here I thought you were holding back on the X100, Jono

[Armanius]

Looks like all the K-5 usual suspects are X100 owners now too!


Mine arrives tomorrow!!

HI Godfrey - holding off altogether was what I was doing, but I got rung up by park cameras one too many times

Armando - good luck with yours.

Retow, Rich, Ashwin, Streetshooter - great shots all - I particularly like your colourful flowers Ashwin.

Here are a couple I took before work this morning:


All shot jpg - pp in aperture:









all the best

[Terry]

Great field if flowers by the church.

[Godfrey]

:-) Yep, the buy button binging does seem to be catchy...

I'd likely have been happy with the X100 or X1 as well as the GXR, but I'm glad I went the way I did. All very competent cameras!

+1

[jsnack]

I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but can this thread be devoid of flower and pet pictures? The ones posted already are fine, but let's see more shots from the streets and from travel destinations.

Again, to those that posted flowers, I mean no offense.

It's the auto mode on these cameras; they don't take pictures of reality, they actually create the flowers and pets via the digital processing algorithms. I thought that was why we had 'pet' and 'macro' scene modes?

[The Smoking Camera]

More party shots:
All at f/2 iso 3200.

[ashwinrao1]

Joe, that last shot is amazing...the whole set crackles with energy. Hearing the music as I see that.

Jono, my gosh, great flower field shot with the church in the background...what an amazing place that you live in...I am envious....

[dhsimmonds]

Having bought my X100 late yesterday and the lenshood/adaptor in Southampton today, I thought that I would use up a few hours testing it around the old historic parts of the City......those very few historic bits to survive WW2.

The lighting was very flat and dull but I hope it will show a bit of Southampton's rich history as a major seafaring port.
1. The historic Bargate
2. On top of the City Walls (goes back to 12th Century)
3. Plaque of remembrance to firefifghter citizens in the early 19th Century
4. Plaque the contribution of the Merchant Navy in the Falklands conflict, 20th Century
5. The Tudor Hall now a museum, circa 16th Century
6.The Red Lion Pub... the most famous pub in Southampton where King Henry stayed on his way to the Battle of Agincourt, 12th Century
7.Wetsgate through which the original Pilgrims embarked the Mayflower en-route to settle the new lands of the America's

Oh, I nearly forgot...I took both Raw and JPEG fine......and used only the standard JPEG's, they are that accurate. Yep, I really like this camera and using my legs instead of a zoom lens!

[dhsimmonds]

A few more from my garden when I arrived back home. This time with the macro setting.
1. Clematis
2. Last of our Rhododendrons.

Once again just using the standard JPEG as there was no need to convert the RAW images.

The Dynamic Range is excellent and the more I use it the more I like it!!

[Armanius]

@Dave - love those last two photos! Nice and crisp!

Jono

Your images are living proof that it is the archer and not the arrow that "hits the targets."

No matter whether you are using the K5, M9, or now, the X100, your results are wonderful and very consistent. Congratulations on being such a great photographer.

Woody

[monza]

Agreed

[The Smoking Camera]

Ok, last of my photos to get this Fuji X100 party started.
OOC jpegs converted to B&W.
f/2 iso 3200.

[monza]

Joe, I liked these the moment I saw them at the x100forum. Well done!

Thank you monza. I think they look better here at GetDPI.

The bar at Beaver Street Brewery, Flagstaff, Arizona

[dhsimmonds]

Nice nostalgic shot! Reminds me of the Silver Dollar Bar not too far away from Flagstaff!
