** Weekly X-Series Photo-Sharing Thread 07JUL – 13 JUL**

Hello, everyone and thanks for making Contributions to this worthwhile endeavor,

This weekly thread serves as a place for those DPRevived.com members who own Fuji gear to share recent work …… specifically, with their Fuji X APS-C cameras. It's just fine for owners to post images made with their “other” cameras, but the idea is to allow owners with Fuji X APS-C cameras to compare notes, tips, and any other helpful hints.

To contribute your image, please respond to the original thread. Please include at the top your message a title to reflect what you wish to convey. Consider making it somewhat entertaining… it may add some “spice.” In addition to uploading/embedding your image, please tell us a little about the image if you wish. It is helpful to some of us who are less traveled to talk about the location of your photo if possible. If you can provide details such as camera, settings, and processing, that would be great for people reviewing the images.

If you wish C&C (comments/critique) please indicate that in your post. In this thread it should not be assumed everyone wants C&C. However, if you want specific feedback (composition, exposure, subject, etc.), don’t hesitate to mention it. It may be helpful to respondents what your needs may be.

Thanks,

Bob, your humble host

PS…… Post away!

Two Bromeliads

Hello, Everyone,

A few weeks ago I went to the San Diego Botanic Gardens after an unexpected morning rain. A wonderful variety of plants that I will post here perhaps in this next week. But we start off with 2 that were inside an arboretum-like structure that has periodic spray sprinklers (that I was not aware of---- had to quickly cover the cam from getting wet) that keep the plants nice and happy.

And, hey, let’s see some image posting.

A couple from Cap Blanc Nez

Looking south-west down the coast:

Escalles village

I have a Tamron 100-400 which I use with my Canon gear and I recently bought a Tamron 1.4tc for it.

I thought I would try it on my XH2s with the Fringer adapter and added my Fujifilm 1.4tc into the mix.
The Fuji tc attaches directly to the camera and the Fringer (pro ii) sits in front of that.

The reach was just under 1200mm EFL.
So it was tricky, with plenty of unusable results. I turned off the lens stabilisation in case it was interfering.
The Fringer disables the camera stabilisation when the lens has stabilisation so I assume it was still disabled.

The Fringer could not report the Fujifilm TC as it was behind so the exif data isn't correct. I think it was more like f11 and 784mm (1176 equivalent). The pelicans were at 540mm (810mm equiv) so they could have been covered with a single tc.

I ran these through dxo to sharpen them up a little.

Anyway it was a fun experiment.
