Fujifilm Gear: Shooting Cityscape in New York City:

Like many of you, I’ve been staying inside, and social distancing because of the corona virus pandemic.  I’m doing what I can work wise at home.  I’ve had some extra time, which I’ve used to do a variety of photographic activities (you can read my article: 6 Photo-Related Activities to do Under Self-Isolation).  But since I’m not going out there for extended periods to get pics for any reviews or even for my own work, I’ve had extra free time, which I’ve been spending looking back at some of my older work.  Particularly, I’ve been looking at some of my cityscape shots of New York City, a place I’m missing a little, since I no longer can walk around as freely, at least for the time being.  Apparently, I did most of my cityscape work with my Fujifilm X Series cameras, and since I haven’t made a Fujifilm-related post in a while, I thought I’d share a few with all of you, go through what was on my mind at the time, and what specific gear I used.

6 Photo-Related Activities to do Under Self-Isolation:

Like most of you, I’ve been self-isolating because of the corona virus pandemic, and while I’m still working, and producing content for this blog, I’m not currently doing any shoots with people/models right now.  Plus, I’m limited by what I can review because most pieces of gear require me to go out for an extended period of time to shoot, so there’s still plenty of free time at home.  So, what is there to do?  Well, here are 6 photo-related activities I’ve been doing to pass some of my extra time.
