Re: Cameraworld Live - 7 July

Obviously much depended on locking the focus onto the car first then waiting until it arrived at the kerbing or signs. I soon found that shooting in front of grass did not give any feeling of movement. For me an interesting leaning kerb. So there I was at Druids. In my hand, the previously mentione...

Re: Cameraworld Live - 7 July

That looks like a shutter speed of 1/60 or 1/125?

Re: Club Outing: Historic Dockyard Chatham - 18 July 2022

Looking at the weather forecast for early next week, the September date seems a better option!! Agreed. The forecast is currently predicting a higher temperature than the previous day for which there is an extreme weather warning. I am postponing the event until September when conditions should be ...

Re: Cameraworld Live - 7 July

Sadly, after the photowalk, the Fujifilm people said that would like to have their camera and lens back. That left me with the gear I had brought for the day, a X-H1 and 100-400 lens. The X-H1 was a marketing oddity. Fujifilm introduced it as a flagship model with improved build quality and it was t...

Re: iPhone Photography

And, with the right settings on the iPhone, you can shoot in RAW. I have always found that the way the phone has to be held to take photos is awkward. So - shock, horror - I have mainly used my iPhone as a phone although the ability to access the Internet wherever I happen to be is pretty damned co...

Re: Cameraworld Live - 7 July

This is one of the better shots taken during my photowalk with Fuji. I took it through the small gap in the fencing at the top of Druids. On busier days, it is a popular spot for photographers. I was using the new X-H2S and 150-600 lens that Fuji was lending to the photowalk participants. Looking th...

iPhone Photography

I recently came across the set of images taken on an iPhone 13 Pro by an experienced photographer. It might be an expensive device and the images are only shown as small JPEGs, but it certainly looks as though the current iPhone could challenge a "proper" camera when it comes to image qual...

Re: Club Outing: Historic Dockyard Chatham - 18 July 2022

At Wednesday's club meeting, there were suggestions that there would be more support for this outing if the date were postponed until September after the schools have gone back. If anyone would prefer a later date, simply respond to this thread, preferably by Monday (11 July) , to allow an decision ...

Re: Cameraworld Live - 7 July

It was good to see some familiar faces at the event, the first since 2019 due to Covid. There seemed to be not quite as many companies present as I recall from previous occasions but maybe that is to be expected? Panasonic was a notable absentee. I had the opportunity to try the new Fuji X-H2S and 1...
