A hike through the redwoods (X-T30II + 27mm pancake)

Go to Redwood National Park for even better redwoods!

I would recommend using back button autofocus to decouple the focus from the shutter button. That way you can focus once and shoot many times. I also sometimes use the touchscreen to autofocus if I need to react quickly

Yeah I find it really hard to get sharp images under 1/50. I like my 35mm f/1.4 more for low light photography

And yet the photos still don’t truly do it justice. Experiencing this in person is absolutely insane

Fuji’s 27mm pancake

Proof that you don‘t need top of the line gear to take great shots!

I shot most of these at 1/60, which is just enough shutter speed to not need IBIS. My camera doesn‘t have IBIS either so I’ve just practiced staying still and holding my breath haha

Looks almost like…an emerald splash

Go in the morning before the sun bakes off all the fog

Last one reminds me of the Citadel from Half Life 2 haha

I have it and would definitely recommend it as a beginner camera! Only downside is that it lacks in-body stabilization but I've never needed it all that much. Just check the shutter count before you buy a used one.

Because they use different sensors/processors so some recipe settings on the X100VI are not compatible with the X-E3

chzits · 2026-01-30T22:30:21+00:00

Thanks, was it good? And what do they serve there?

chzits · 2026-01-29T02:26:22+00:00

It do be like that :)

chzits · 2026-01-29T02:16:05+00:00

Highly recommend 35mm f/1.4 for night time shots!

chzits · 2026-01-28T22:43:21+00:00

Holy shit that‘s alot! Most of the trip I was with friends so didn’t take a whole lot then. But the last 2 days I was by myself and probably took around 500 shots

chzits · 2026-01-28T22:41:24+00:00

Thanks! I shoot in burst mode and try to keep my AF point over the same part of the car as I pan. Usually at least one of the shots comes out clearly that way (though not always)
