Totally M.I.S.C | as in miscellaneous?

My great skills in home renovation are making the studio project a joy… Mmmkay, not so much. It’s mainly eating my time these days and taking its toll on the blog and everything else. But the end IS in sight — good god I do hope that’s the end I see shining through that hole way over there (!).

Still, I just thought I’d jot down a few items before I start priming the cyclo:

• Fujifilm has added new photographers to the X100 in Action section of the X100 website. Part of the new roster is Magnum photographer Ian Berry, who uses the camera to revisit his famous 1972 Whitechapel series for Professional Photographer magazine. Now that’s impressive.


• The DPhoto has a feature on the beautiful photography of Hengki Koentjoro. Breathtaking work.


• Jonathan JK Morris has a new photography book entitled Who We Are. Check it out.


• 35mmStreet is a new street photography blog from UK photographer Derek Clark. Great stuff.

As for me, I’m leaving you with a few equally miscellaneous X100 shots.

Later…

Patrick, I loved the third photo, colors,composition and the feel.

I hate but can't help asking, is this one straight out of the camera jpeg or is toning acquired with post processing? 
It's been just 2 weeks but I'm still trying to figure out the toning options of my Fuji X100. Your's and Jonathan Fleming's blogs help me to decide selling my 5D Mark II set and buying this lovely camera:)

Yalç?n,
Thanks and sorry for the late reply. I shot the third one on Velvia but the final look is all post done in Aperture 3 — like most if not all of my work.

There are some interesting settings to play with on the X100 but I tend to prefer leaving toning to post. I use Provia most of the time but sometimes switch to Velvia outdoors.
Didn't know about Jonathan Fleming's blog, good stuff there thanks for cueing me. Looking forward to seeing your shots with this camera…

Thanks for the Reply.

After reading tons of reviews, I decided not to shoot RAW as my current SD card is Class 4. 2 days ago I decided to give it a try and suprized to see shooting RAW and even RAW+JPEG is not that slow so from now on I can shoot RAW+JPEG and use the untouched images for post-processing. I think X100 is a device which demands some time of its user to know its abilities and limits and for this I should shoot more with it.
