06/01/13  Fujifilm X100SThis was just a fun shot, taken as I was passing by with the camera held down towards my right knee. I just held it towards the cactus because the red/green contrast cought my eye. I never for a minut think that anything would ever come of it. Surprise, surprise.
This is probably the last image from the X100S for the present (but I can't promise you) as I intend on taking the X100S of holiday with me. Just can't leave it at home, the sensor is just too good. 873
X100S Focal Length: 23 mm Aperture: f/4.0 Exposure Time: 10/900 sec ISO: 200 05/31/13  Fujifilm X100STesting my manual focusing skills again and to see how much detail I could get in this cactus.
No complaints for me. I have set the minimum shutter speed at 1/60sec which is nearly double the focal length, set WB to auto and ISO to auto-3200. This is the first camera that I used these settings with and so far it hasn't let me down at all. All my past cameras have been set to exactly the prevailing conditions and not once have I set a camera to ISO 3200. There's always a first time I suppose. 1020
X100S Focal Length: 23 mm Aperture: f/4.0 Exposure Time: 10/600 sec ISO: 200 05/30/13  Fujifilm X100SCkecking out the red channel again and I didn't think the red could be held back from blowing out. Wrong again. It's very saturated but it hasn't blown out at all. Looking at this image at full size I can still see detail within the red flower. Note also how saturated the greens are surrounding the flower and the stones on the right leading to the flower are also true to life.
Is there anything this camera can't do? 873
X100S Focal Length: 23 mm Aperture: f/4.0 Exposure Time: 10/600 sec ISO: 500 05/29/13  Fujifilm X100SI think this is another of the images that I like from this particular shoot. The leaves in the foregroud are in focus with the backgroud out of focus. Bokeh is good and not at all funky. Image taken at f2 with -1 EC dialed in. 874
X100S Focal Length: 23 mm Aperture: f/2.0 Exposure Time: 10/600 sec ISO: 200 05/28/13  Fujifilm X100SNothing special in this image but what did impress me was the fact that when I look at the rust/reddish coloured substance they use in theses places, is that I can actually see all the different corns on the floor. That to me is really amazing. 896
X100S Focal Length: 23 mm Aperture: f/4.0 Exposure Time: 10/600 sec ISO: 800 05/27/13  Fujifilm X100SHow does it render foliage detail. Well right now I can't say much about the raw files but these jpg image holds up pretty well. Looking at the green leaves at bottom right and the brownish leaves hanging down the wall in the center, I can't fault it at all. The real test of course will come when I get around to developing some raw files. From what I have heard, people aren't too happy with the X-Trans sensor support at present, but I think it can only get better with each release of the raw software. 905
X100S Focal Length: 23 mm Aperture: f/4.0 Exposure Time: 10/600 sec ISO: 1000 05/26/13  Fujifilm X100SHow would the camera hold up to this type of scene. The are towards the left of the image was quite bright and relecting off the water. This image shows a lot more detail in the highlights than I could actually see. I expected the image to be underexposed and the dark ares towards the upper left on the image to be really dark. My conclusion here is thaat it managed to hold the highlight on the water while detail is still visible in the dark regions which tells me the dynamic range of the X100S is very good indeed. Only after looking at the image for some time did I realize that there were more kois in the pond than I remember seeing. 865
X100S Focal Length: 23 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 10/600 sec ISO: 640 05/25/13  Fujifilm X100SHere's checking how it deals with dark areas. Surprisingly well as you can see. Exposure was very good and again post precessing is very minimal. I just wished I'd have used a smaller aperture than f4. If you look towards the bottom of the image you can see it's getting rather soft or out of focus.
One thing I have noticed, particularly since I've been posting these images from the Fujifilm cameras is that of colour. All these images were processed and posted using a calibrated monitor. Having looked at the images on a couple of non-calibrated monitors brings back home just how important calibrating your monitor is. The colour on the non-calibrated monitos are nothing like what they should be, and misleads the reader on just how good these cameras are at catching the correct colour. Granted, the reader can't compare the images themselves and have to take my word for it.
Just do yourself a favour and get your monitor calibrated, it works wonders for your images. 974
X100S Focal Length: 23 mm Aperture: f/4.0 Exposure Time: 10/600 sec ISO: 250 05/24/13  Fujifilm X100SMy favourite test for all cameras I buy, checking out the red channel. As you can see there is no blowing out of the red channel at all. The greens are also nicely saturated but not blown. Although quite dark I didn't use any exposure compensation for this image. It's nearly an OOC jpg. Very nice and the sharpness is there too. 904
X100S Focal Length: 23 mm Aperture: f/4.0 Exposure Time: 10/600 sec ISO: 640 05/23/13  Fujifilm X100STesting how the camera deald with front lit subjects. I expected this to be really dark but the camera mastered the exposure really well. I had to very slightly brighten the luminosity in this image but nothing like the levels I would have to do with other systems. 968
