  1. <p>Our native oaks, especially young trees, keep senesced leaves well into winter. </p><div></div>
  2. <p>As opposed to this wide-open shot with the 23/2, where 1000 pixels is not enough to see the sleet that was coming down through the trees......</p><div></div>
  3. <p>At last a day fit to test the Fuji 23/2 (on an XE1) - so not a great photo, but the day convinced me the lens is sharp at infinity.</p><div></div>
  4. <p>Dug this 18 month old picture out for a friend who first climbed that nose of rock 40 years ago - and is gong back this summer to do it again. North-west Scotland.</p><div></div>
  5. <p>Nice Sanford. Not fire, but a reddish glow - sunset cliché, Y Carneddau</p><div></div>
  6. <p>Our vegetation in winter can be (photographically) unappealing so it's sometimes worth trying to 'see' in monochrome - especially perhaps when the specular reflections are too-many-angled to be dealt with using a polariser.</p><div></div>
  7. Hi Kierston - this is nicely seen and composed, and the selective focus on the fungus (a Clavaria?) is just right. The one thing I would have done differently would be to remove that out of focus twig just in front of the fungus. Keep shooting!
  8. <p>When I bought an XE1 a year ago, it was purely to use with adapted lenses and I was NOT going to buy any Fuji lenses. No. Not. Until this week, when I cracked and bought a 23/2. It's traditional that the Welsh weather always closes in when I get a new lens, so field testing is hard - first attempt attached.</p><div></div>
  9. <p>and this is mountain light. Kinlochleven.</p><div></div>
  10. <p>Excellent, Sanford, that you realise it should be spelt 'centre' (British humour - not humor). Mukul, at least he has his eyes protected. Mountain light (or should that be mountain dark?)</p><div></div>
  11. <p>Ysgolion Duon</p><div></div>
  12. <p>A tide-line of washed up <em>Laminaria</em> and folded limestone</p><div></div>

    Not only is this a wonderful photo - but your patience reminded me of the Nat Geo photographer and the half-shorn sheep (google Cary Wolinsky half shorn sheep). The framing and background in your pic are spot on.
  14. <p>Playing with intentional camera movement is fun, but the failure rate is, er, 'quite high'.</p><div></div>
  15. <p>Just looking through some images from last year. Here's an early one. OMD EM5, lens forgotten b ut possibly a very cheap enlarging lens on tubes.</p><div></div>
