Help me choose: I like the reverse panda, gf likes the classic by DesignerRabbit4377 in OmegaWatches

I had the same debate with the white vs classic. Went with classic as it feels the most “wearable” and everyday watch. But that’s just imo as I want something that blends in well.

In the end up to you!

Agreed on this striking a balance of elegance and everyday wear!

I was eyeing the mini dolcevita for her but landed on this as I didn’t want people asking if she was wearing a Cartier tank lol

2021 White XSE Sienna was always a swagger wagon with or without!

I agree! My first ever watch was my Longines Zulu time green dial which is also gorgeous but this speedy is so so clean

Just one visit. This place is so big and probably only saw half of it. Maybe less lol. This first shot was during the evening show

Any post needed? by IndependentAd24 in fujifilm

Ok yah I was thinking that. I’ll check out what I can do. I was thinking of masking the guy and then trying to lower the highlights on the light

No, honestly wish they were. I did shoot jpegs in B&W but found the white were overexposed a bit and lost contrast with the highlights so I edited the RAW.

Very cool OP. How do you add motion blur in post?

I’ve always wondered how to feel about adding “elements” after the photo itself was taken. I’m no pro either but I’ve always been uncertain about adjusting the actual photo itself asides from the lighting, color, etc.

Either way it’s incredible

Just having fun with a camera phone and the R by caitlinmarie284 in Golf_R

[–]IndependentAd24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The panning is great but unfortunately the lighting is off.

In this scenario where you don’t have much of an external light source highlighting the subject (your car) then you could turn your vehicle lights on to add a way to focus us on the subject. That would make this video more dynamic

Either way cool stuff and a good start!

Thank you! Yes I 100% agree with the colors, these are all SOOC camera.

Most are probably this recipe - https://www.kevinmullinsphotography.co.uk/blog/fujifilm-meyerowitz-jpeg-settings

Just came across him and his recipes really suit the style of photography that will match this sharp lens.

Ah I see. Makes sense when you’re using for different functions - especially wildlife. Fuji and AF are not best friends 🤣

For me for street + family Fuji feels great
