Saturday Landscape: A Journey Through Oxbow

Looking for an image that caught my interest this morning, I decided to take another look at some of my experimentation with the first Fujifilm camera that I have owned. The Fujifilm X-T1 was my first acquisition with the intent to have a somewhat light camera for travel photography. Of course, once I started using it, there was no way that I’d stop using it!

Here’s the image for this morning…

Walking along the shore of the Nashua river, as it flows through the Oxbow National Wildlife Refuge, I couldn’t help but notice the lovely colors of the trees on the opposite bank. Combined with the stillness of the water surface, this made for a lovely upside-down worldview.

And, yes, I took a look at this view flipped…

I have my preference for the version that I like best. I’m curious to hear what yours is.

I have a love-hate relationship with Fujifilms. My first one was X-T10. I loved its output. As someone who loves shooting raw for the post-processing headroom, Fuji was the only one that that felt like the jpegs were enough. But the camera felt like it held me back. From AF speed to the buttons (I know people like the dials), I couldn’t get used to it.

My latest one is the X100V. Same deal as before. Phenomenal camera with great out-of-the-camera jpegs. But too slow for my taste.

  It’s interesting how we all respond to our cameras. There have been a couple of adjustments for me to make, but I just can’t get over the amazing color and dynamic range.
  
  Be well.
