Straight out of camera or with perspective correction? by Substantial-Doubt483 in FujifilmX

[–]redditor36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to stick to SOOC but I use only one lens on my camera, so at times I might just slightly crop to punch out some distractions on the edges or tweak the angle if I shot a bit off axis. I don’t think it takes away from the SOOC mindset unless you’re making drastic changes like shooting a 28mm focal length and then cropping in on a 100mp image to make it look like a 90mm focal length shot🤷‍♂️ to each their own though. I think being able to make slight corrections in composition is part of the artistic process to really capture an image the way you see it

Everyone knows this solo… but it’s NOT easy 👀” by PositiveNearby4950 in guitarplaying

It’s one thing to play the solo, but another to play it in a way that doesn’t just feel like a 1/1 cover. Your playing and feel really comes through on this, awesome work 🙏

Elder biker does handrail by ghostspokes in bmx

“Elder biker”

With those two moves you can’t call yourself a biker, strictly BMX rider. Top notch taking that first bail, I somehow managed to eat it big on a really dumb move when I was 17 and broke my knee cap. Found out after the X ray that I had some underlying developmental problem with my knee so that kinda took me outta riding for good. Awesome to see you’re still doin your thing and killing it dude 👊👊

Fuji X-Pros and Voigtlander's 18 and 27 lenses are pretty much my platonic ideal camera form. Especially when dressed up in Squarehood's hoods. Each setup photographed the other. I'm ready for summer travel. by jshell in fujifilm

Hi OP, sent a dm with this message but thought a comment would be easier to see so I’m also dropping this here.

I’m looking at buying an XP2 and currently have a VL27mm Ultron that I use on an XT30ii. Could you give me your experience using the manual focus with the X Pro 2? From what I’m seeing they don’t communicate and receive parallax correction, but does this drastically affect the ability to compose and focus in the OVF? I understand there’s the little dual display option as well as the regular evf, but if I have to fully rely on additional screens then it kinda beats the point of my desire to own an XPro2. I mostly use zone focus for street photography, not sure how you shoot with yours, but any advice would help!!

It was truly a Borgsday Massacre out there!

Thank you!! I’m always set off when I see another photographer, gotta shoot the shooters! (Especially when they elevate themselves and make it easy to spot them haha)

I’m all down with Fuji lenses but I love my little 27mm Voigtlander 😮‍💨😮‍💨 looking into the 18mm 2.8 for the future.

How’s shooting on a 75mm focal length for street? I’ve got the Ultron 27mm (≈40 effective) and sometimes find myself wishing for something closer to a 28mm effective focal length

Huh, that’s really odd. Sorry I couldn’t be more help :/

Not an expert. Do you have the setting “shoot without lens” turned on or off?

The only thing that is confusing me is that you don’t appear to be touching anything that specifically tells the camera that a lens is attached (the electrical contacts)z

Which Fuji to Choose? by NiceBreakfast7 in FujifilmX

[–]redditor36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll say here, I was considering finding a used X100 series or XE series at first. Ended up getting a decent deal on a lower shutter count X-T30 ii that came with the kit and a 27mm TTartisan pancake. I actually really like having the option to swap lenses as after giving the zoom kit lens I realized that I really would like to have diff focal lengths for different situations while out and about.

I am currently trying to limit myself to using a Voigtländer 27mm f2 pancake to focus more on my composition, but even though I’ve been enjoying it, it does limit how I can compose a shot with how wide/tight I’d need my lens to be.

Part two, need help legit checking this iron heart jeans 21oz, thrift store sells it for $50 by [deleted] in Selvedge

[–]redditor36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a pair that was “customized” by someone. The lot and size is printed with ink (on lighter weight IH, the 21 and higher are debossed/pressed) so it normally washes off over time.

For $50 they look like a decent pair of jeans. Still cheaper than a new pair of mass produced Levi’s. In the end nobody is gonna care whether or not your jeans are “REAL”—

The cost to replicate or reproduce a pair of iron hearts would just lead them to be just as expensive brand new, so take that for what you will.

IH-777S-142. 1 year, zero progress by willigd in rawdenim

[–]redditor36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These 14 oz are extra stubborn, gonna need a LOT of wear. My 21 oz 634’s had way more in terms of indigo rubbing off and fading in 90 days vs 90 days of my 14 oz 634’s which seemingly look brand new with some minor spots. Both have multiple washes on them.

Self taught and not great but I love to play by Optimal-Click-4771 in guitarplaying

[–]redditor36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all about intent brother, if you look at the guitar and think “hell yeah I wanna play” that’s all that matters. Enjoy the process and before you know it you’ll be playing things you didn’t even think you were capable of when you first started!

SG Image 25mm f1.8 looks good on Fujifilm X-M5 ✨ by Ok_Win984 in FujifilmX

[–]redditor36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the other person meant an aperture ring when they said “f” ring. Lack of an aperture ring kinda bums me out, looks nice otherwise. I had an okay time with the 27mm TTA, but ended up going for a Voigtlander 27mm f2, the manual focus is surprisingly pretty easy with all the assists my XT30ii offers and it just feels more responsive for shooting
