FUJI X-T2 - CANON GEAR GONE - 4-NON BLONDES


A new camera has replaced the Canon line-up. Fuji X-T2 with 18-135 image stabilization lens. 

Have I have moved from the devil I know for the one I don't?

The new camera is assembled. The functionality of all of the dials and switches are going to prove one of the reasons I have up-dated. Much easier from the get-go to make adjustments. 

Mirror-less and new glass will also prove to be worth the change. Add compact design that does not lose the SLR feel.

New snow, single-digit temperatures with gusty winds offer me nothing in my desire to find first shots to share. I fear that by posting time, it will be pictures not photographs I share. 

XT2 photos shot on full-auto and working with the histogram for help. I like being able to move the focus point/field within the viewfinder. 




Out of the box. If I only use this camera on full-auto, the three photos above indicate future quality. This camera is road-trip ready from the get go.

PHOTOGRAPHY USING LIGHT, APERTURE AND SHUTTER.


This is one of many photos accompanying the wedding pictures of my grandparents on my mother's side. These two are either a part of the wedding party or a shared photo of their marriage with my grandmother and grandfather. Late 1920's to early 1930's era. 

(Good to great photography is about the photographer, not the camera)

MUSIC

4 NON-BLONDES  

What's Up (1993)                   783 million views

"...I realized quickly
when I knew I should
that this world was made 
up of this brotherhood of
   man
what ever that means...."

Yersi Berverisco's cover of the same song. Seventeen million views. My favorite. 

Dear Mr. President(1992)          7 million views 

(Political ads preceding this video are priceless when you listen to this song)

"I'm looking outside of my windows 
The view that I see 
Is a child and mama 
And the child is begging for money...."


Just found this band and songs. I have said here before that I come to many things very late in life. I find myself turning up the sound and lost in the lyrics and music.

Thank you again for the visit.
The days are getting longer.
Merry Christmas to one and all.

A present for you.
