These are really great. I received the fuji a while ago, and enjoy using it a lot. However, nothing special to post yet.

Regarding the raw, I've been forced to use lightroom - normally use aperture, and export the tiffs to aperture.

I have one question, that I asked in some other thread but nobody answered. Is there an equivalent to the aperture boost slider in lightroom? In aperture this decreases the default raw manipulation, and can give a more natural look, especially for B&W it's priceless.

BTW, Lili, I noticed that the ricoh forum has "paths roads and highways" for the monthly competition. An easy way for you to win a raw converter.

i hope you do enjoy the results with the s6000. i can't answer your question about lightroom, but this woman seems to know everything. maybe send her your question. she seems very affable:

and lili, i agree about your road shots. i felt rather haunted after looking at them! we all drive so much of our lives, the landscape rather like being on the moon. (i don't know how many times i've driven across country, but it's a lot.) do you know this movie or it's director:

it's a wonderful road movie. and this book by a famous french philosopher cracked me up with his jaundiced view of the states as he drove around:

here's a bit of wildlife.

Wayne, thanks so much for that link! very helpful info. I do love my Fuji but thelearning curve is steep. I may be folowing a blind path trying to gt GRD results from it. I've realized it is different palette indeed as well and benefits from being used as such. I can do nice B&W with it but the Look is far different from that of the GRD. The colors however, they are enchanting.

Thank you Wayne. Once I started this project I was driven to complete it. Glad it touches you so!

I will have to look at the movie :

ah, lili, so you knew they were grouse. i don't know how they survive up here with coyotes, etc., they seem rather dumb, fat, and slow compared to the quail.

here's the truck that brings water and the label on a fire-extinguisher that seems to be talking about something else.

cowboy.

i was out on the catwalk practising with a dslr (haven't used it in months) when i discovered a cowboy below. i include a couple here, perhaps as a contrast to the fuji s6000 i've been using.

Hi Wayne,

Just dropping by to say once again what a great collection of images you have compiled in this thread.

Out of interest, when does the 'fire season' usually draw to an end in California please?
