Weekly Portrait Post: An Older Shoot With The Leica SL

Weekly Portrait Post: An Older Shoot With The Leica SL:

I’ve been in a bit of a photographic funk lately.  It might just be because it’s winter, who knows…I’m just in one of those moods where I feel like I’m shooting the same stuff or I can’t really think of anything new to do.  I’ve been shooting a lot to try to get myself out of this funk but all I seem to be doing is making myself more work with more edits I have to do haha.  Anyway, I do have a shoot tomorrow, which I’m looking forward too.  I’ve also been looking back at some of my older photos from my Leica SL days, and I found this set, which I thought I’d post.

A Little Lens Cleaning With ROR Lens Cleaner

A Little Lens Cleaning With ROR Lens Cleaner:

I never talk about lens cleaning because quite frankly, I don’t really do it much haha :).  But for like the first time in my life, I was in need of something a little stronger than just my trusty microfiber cloth.  I needed some sort of liquid help, and that’s how I found ROR Lens Cleaner.

Fujifilm XF 16-80mm f4 R OIS WR Lens Review

Fujifilm XF 16-80mm f4 R OIS WR Lens Review:

Whether you’re a prime only shooter or not, there’s no denying that zooms play an important role in photography gear.  After shooting with the Leica M for decades, I thought I’d only be exclusively a prime shooter myself but I’ve made two exceptions: When I bought the Fuji X-E1 a long time ago, the kit with the XF 18-55mm was too hard to resist mainly because of the price.  Now, I’ve owned that lens for years.  When I bought my SL, there weren’t even any native primes, so I bought the Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm thinking I would trade it in, once I bought a native prime but guess what?  It proved to be not only one of the best lenses I’ve ever used, I find it indispensable.  So, it makes sense that a manufacturer like Fujifilm would invest a lot of time and money to create zooms, such as, their latest, the XF 16-80mm f4 R OIS WR lens.  I’ve been wanting to review this lens for a while now, and I finally had my hands on it for a decent amount of time.  Here’s what I think of it.

Weekly Portrait Post: Walking Around SoHo with the Fuji X-Pro3

Weekly Portrait Post: Walking Around SoHo with the Fuji X-Pro3:

This week’s portrait post is of Kristina (Instagram).  A couple of weeks ago, I needed some portraits for my Fuji X-Pro3, and Kristina was nice enough to helped me out.  We took these in SoHo, and I have to say, she was a champ because on this day, it was freezing out.  We were walking around for a couple of hours.
