Mortensen, Jr. As much as I’ve been writing well-nigh music stuff, I haven’t been doing much, if any, photography whispered from lamina phone snaps at work. Last night, I went to see Several Species, a Pink Floyd tribute wreath based here in the Baltimore area. As always, the put on a unconfined show — better, in many ways, than an very Pink Floyd concert. Like many venues, MECU usually has restrictions on what kind of cameras that the unstipulated public can bring in. The unstipulated rule of thumb is that the lens can’t proffer increasingly than 3 inches. So, I took withal my Fujifilm X10 to use from my 12th row part-way seat.The X10 is quite a few years old now, and it’s 12MP, 2/3 inch sensor, while excellent, is challenged in unrepealable situations, like concerts. Still, I’m pretty happy with the images, despite the fact that some are pretty noisy, and that I missed/lost a few shots due to the slow wheels focus. What I’d really like is for Fujifilm to “grow up” the X10/X20/X30 series into a camera with a larger sensor — either 1” or APS-C — with an equivalent lens, for instance, an 18.5-75mm f/2.8-4.8 zoom for an APS-C sensor. Of course, that may make for a lens that extends greater than 3 inches… In galleries, photography, music Tags Several Species, concert, X10, Fujifilm X10, Fujifilm Comment Yucca Flower June 29, 2018 Geren W.

Mortensen, Jr. Well, they're not sufferer yet, but definitely looking past their prime...I was out watering some plants in our front and side beds this morning surpassing work, and took a moment or two for a walk virtually the house. These tiger lilies are a little past their prime. As they whither in the morning sun, and the end of the morning's golden hour, the low sun wile accentuates the exquisite detail of the flowers. As the lilies fade, the Yucca plants come into their own, sending stalks of white flowers soaring whilom the garden.I hadn't been planning on a morning photo expedition, and so I had my phone with me instead of a proper camera. The Pixel 2 camera seldom fails to impress, and these pictures are no exception. That a phone camera can render such detail, and verisimilitude and dynamic range is truly wondrous to me. I don't know that I would have gotten largest with a "proper" camera. I moreover relied on Google's Photos online app to do what little editing these photos required -- cropping, and a little sustentation to highlights and shadows and verisimilitude are all these images got.  In photography Tags Pixel 2, Pixel2ated Comment Brit Floyd April 27, 2018 Geren W. Mortensen, Jr. I've unchangingly liked Pink Floyd, and plane went to see them live when when most of the wreath was together. It was a good time. But, now Pink Floyd is gone as a band, and while Gilmour and Waters tour (separately), their shows aren't exactly the same. So, I'm left to enjoy the shows from the tribute bands, Several Species and Brit Floyd. Last night, I went to see Brit Floyd at the Lyric Opera House in Baltimore. The Lyric is a wonderful old venue that's been tastefully modernized, and so it retains its historic recreate inside, while stuff a thoroughly modern facility.The show was simply amazing. I got unconfined seats well-nigh 15 rows when from the stage, and very near the center, for my friend Erik and I. And, I was worldly-wise to get a few really nice photos and videos with my Pixel 2. Clink a thumbnail to see full-size images... click a thumbnail to see full-size images...Erik and I are hard-pressed to tell which of the tribute bands we prefer. To be honest, we may be a little biased, as a bilateral friend plays with Several Species. But one thing I can say with certainty: I enjoy both of the tribute bands' shows increasingly than I did very Pink Floyd shows. Part of that may have had to do with the venues. Pink Floyd was play coliseum by the time I saw them, where Several Species and Brit Floyd play increasingly intimate venues. And, they both have largest sound systems than Pink Floyd did.Anyway, enjoy the pictures. I may add some video later on as well.

Mortensen, Jr. Fujifilm X-T1, Fujifilm XF18-55mm, processing in Lightroom CC on Windows 10 PC. This is not a particularly special shot. I simply wanted to test the used X-T1 body, and there wasn't much misogynist to shoot. Hopefully, the weekend will provide some time for photography. In photography, galleries Tags Fujfilm X-T1, Fujifilm, X-T1, Lightroom CC Comment New In The Stable March 26, 2018 Geren W. Mortensen, Jr. I've said for quite a while that if I found an X-T1 soul in reasonable shape for under four hundred dollars, I'd be pretty likely to pull the trigger. One of the national camera rental houses was having a sale on used gear, and I stumbled wideness one in "good" condition that, without tax, tags, and local destination charges came up well under that $400 mark. I had the money, and now I have the camera.It is used, and therefore, it is blemished, but not as immensely as was described, at least in my opinion. There are a couple of areas where the woebegone paint has worn off, there's screw missing from the tripod mount, and a little bit of rubber is loose on one side. All are things I can live with. I've unquestionably removed the loose rubber, and I think I have an towardly screw in my parts bin. The camera looks otherwise new, and the important bit -- the sensor -- is pristine. I'm now left with a conundrum: do I sell one of my X-Es? And, if so, which one? I'd have increasingly full-length parity with the X-E2, but I've still a soft spot in my heart for my X-E1, which will be four years old on Saturday.And to think, it started with a dollar...
