Portraits & Macro
I’ve had a lot of feedback since my wedding photography using a Fuji X100 post the other day. All very positive. I’ll be doing more testing with this camera but have instantly fallen in love with it.
Aesthetically it is pleasing, and the image quality is amazing. Don’t get me wrong – the quality from my Canon DSLRs is still better in a lot of respects, but the Fuji X100 is not a DSLR. It’s a compact camera with a large APS-C sensor. What this camera offers me is the ability to blend in even more, and as documentary wedding photographer this is paramount. obviously image quality is important as a professional photographer and the Fuji X100 definitely delivers.
Here are two more images very quickly processed on my laptop.
This image is our new son Albie yesterday. He’s eight weeks old now and I simply can’t believe how time is flying by. It seems like just yesterday I was taking photos of him when he was one month old.
Exif for the photographers: Fuji X100, 1/60th Second at f/2.0. ISO 800. Flash did not fire. Manual exposure
A lot of the questions I had regarding the X100 were technical queries. Now, as a reportage wedding photographer I keep my settings as simple as possible and if the camera can deliver the image for me then I am happy. However, I did want to test the macro mode on the camera as the close up focusing is an issue for some people. Its fine, as you can see with this photo of my aging iPhone:

now craving a new camera! THANKS Kevin!!
Albie is gorgeous!! I can’t believe he’s 2 months old already. Wasn’t he born, like, yesterday?
Love these images. I think its great that you’re diversifying what you can offer your clients, the results are stunning. Maybe one day I’ll have enough guts to try it as well!
DUH! Just read your previous post. Didn’t realize this is a digital camera — thought you were going the film route. Thanks for the recommendation — I’m actually looking for a new small-er camera to replace my ancient canon elf. Will check this out!!
Hi,
I’m curious, did you add noise/grain to these post production or is that from the camera? I wouldn’t have expected to see this level of noise in the X100 at ISO800. Lovely shot of your son by the way.
Thanks,
Chris.
Hi Chris,
Yes – noise added. All my images go through my standard PP and noise is added to all of them, regardless of the ISO
Its a great camera.
Cheers
