Summer - A Symbol Shot

Going everywhere by bicycle and I'm here for it.

Not even a fancy one, just a regular good ol' second (or third) hand bike.

I’ve shot these three palms many times before. They never disappoint.

Got a long overdue haircut today. I’ll never get over how good you can feel after a haircut. You take off grams of weight, but you just feel good; you feel as though things are back in place. Ready to go back to work tomorrow.

Hope it was a great day wherever you are, and I wish that after a haircut, “everything is right again” feeling on you!

Cheers!

Wednesday afternoon self portrait

Saw a Crane(?) today.

Glad I had my Fujifilm X30 with me, one of my favorite cameras for it's very compact and light, yet takes good pictures. Also great for street photography! At the time I got this camera because the X100 was too expansive for me (costing round about 1000 EUR at the time - the X30 cost around 500 EUR!). Looking back I'm very glad I got the X30 instead!

This photo was slightly edited with RapidRaw which I'm testing at the moment.

I really like the city’s utility box art program. Click for Stray Pixels

The last rays of sunshine on the roof terrace.

Trying some new in-camera presets. Still not entirely happy yet. These photos were taken at f/4 with the Fujifilm 16-80mm f/4 - when I look at them it feels more like a f/2 given the huge unfocused area.

I was looking at a video regarding Fujifilm recipes and it mentioned firmware updates so I checked and both my cameras were a few versions behind - and my lens was super behind! What a world we live in where a lens gets a firmware update 😅

Hope it was a great day!

I’m completely unmotivated today.
So here’s a bumblebee trying to defy gravity.

(Shot from Saturday)

Very unhappy with my camera settings and editing setup at the moment. Maybe I'll do some Black & White again until I have things figured out.

I love big gate numbers. Maybe I’m just getting old, but some jetways have really small numbers, are hard to see, or have no markings at all. Boise does it right. Big and Bold! Click for Stray Pixels

Sunday mornings

Spent yesterday and today charging all the batteries I have for my Fujifilm X-Pro1. For the longest time I only had three, but then Tanja sent me her leftover batteries since she no longer needed them - and now I have six! It's more than I ever need to be fair, the Patona ones are quite good and easily last a day of shooting, at least for me. Even more with the daily pics I take.

Very nice day today—smooth flying, great weather, no drama, and happy, friendly people. Had a nice walk around BOI, but damn, it’s still way too hot: 103°F / 39°C. iPhone shot and processed. Stray Pixels Bonus: Three more pictures and no rant this time—LOL. Click for Stray Pixels RNO this morning at 3:30 A.M.

In the new home, we have an Apple Tree in the garden. I'm not sure yet if they're regular, eatable apples, but if they are I'm looking forward to eating some - and baking some Apfelstrudel.
