Cityscape

Reading the manual helps with a new camera! Not for too long or you won’t remember it. But I’ve found some good focus settings - like the crisp image here of a central area in Auckland where we are staying for a few days visiting people in hospitals!
New projects in hand.

Three Good Things:
1. On the plane overnight, I went crosseyed trying to, a) go to sleep: b) work out what was happening on all the TV’s around me without sound: c) not touch the man next to me!
2. Found out my battery didn’t last as long as I thought - but had a NZ plug available to recharge.
3. Back home - traffic - Asian’s by the hundreds - I feel as if we landed in Hong Kong. But home!
Interesting but the camera says this was taken on the 24th Thurs - a day which time forgot for us travelling back to NZ over the dateline!
Wonderful FAV

Amazing crispness this to the photo. How exciting for you to be experimenting with it. I sympathize with your long flight home. There is no way to get comfortable on a plane for that long and I totally identify with trying not to touch the man in the seat next to you.

@grammyn There are so many options for focus on this camera - I'll have to swot some more Katy!

@maggiemae keep up the good work

A great shot for b&w .. at least you have come home to some lovely weather though a bit colder than what you have been having .. enjoy your time in the 'big smoke'... you would be looking forward to your own bed..

@julzmaioro Thanks Julia! Actually nearly all the beds we have been sleeping have been excellent! No saggy double beds anymore!

fabulous mono street scene maggie
August 25th, 2017  
ooh, a fuji maggie? how delightful. enjoy! this certainly is exceedingly crisp, and an excellent b&w
August 25th, 2017  
@pistache Yes Clare - I intended to get a Canon but found this camera had it all! My very first camera was a Fuji too!
August 25th, 2017  
what clare said! awesome shot, maggiemae!
August 25th, 2017  
I can't do black & white maggie, yours are superb! Mine always come out too dark or wish washy. Lovely to be back home I expect bet you can't wait to get in your own bed! All ready for the summer & your electric bike.
August 25th, 2017  
@happypat Yes, aren't I lucky to be looking forward to a summer! Can't wait to climb on to Ruby! Look at the Nik Collection, Pat - for options on colour and b&w!
August 25th, 2017  
Beautifully sharp and crisp! FAV!
August 25th, 2017  
Looks like you're enjoying your new fuji already, the focus on this shot it great and I like it in b&w.

nice crisp cityscape, good composition; does a mirrorless camera make a sound when you take the photo, as no mirror has to get out of the way?
August 25th, 2017  
@hjbenson No it doesn't make a sound, Harry - you tend to think its not taken it1

A very nice city scape
August 26th, 2017  
Great, clear b&w capture with a great pov
August 26th, 2017  
Sharp as a pin. The B&W option also enhances the image. Fav
August 26th, 2017  
Great cityscape. I like it in B&W!
August 26th, 2017  
Very sharp image -- I think this is the camera @ukandie1 uses with superb results.
August 26th, 2017  
Super image! The x-T20 is my X-T2's baby brother, the biggest difference between the two cameras is that mine is weather sealed and the X T20 is not, there are a few other differences, but in my opinion if weather sealing is not a deal breaker for you then save some dollars buy the X-t20 and put the money towards lenses, but for me the weather sealing was important!
August 26th, 2017  
Some great lines here!
August 26th, 2017  
@ukandie1 Thanks for your comments - yes, its going to be good once I can get a hold on it. Took some flower photos and just couldn't get it to focus today!
August 26th, 2017  
Wow this is wonderful! Such clarity! I am going to investigate this camera! I have always loved Andie's @ukandie images and been envious of it's light weight. Enjoy using it Maggie! Fav!
August 26th, 2017  
@pamknowler Thanks Pam - its a real challenge though-can't rely on 'auto' so have to read that manual a bit more!
August 26th, 2017  
Maggiemae, great shot !!!! I noticed that you have an author's signature - very beautiful !!!
August 26th, 2017  
Beautiful shot with your new camera. How exciting :) xx
August 26th, 2017  
@olenadole Thanks Nadiya - I'm not that famous for that nice signature - but it helps!
August 26th, 2017  
@maggiemae First of all it is done to protect your personal photos )))
August 26th, 2017  
Nice choice of camera, hope you have fun getting to grips with it. This image is very nice and sharp.
August 26th, 2017  
Awesome shot
August 26th, 2017  
Works really well in B&W
August 26th, 2017  
Splendid! You're mastering this well.
August 26th, 2017  
Fav. Great b& w image. Fav.
August 26th, 2017  
At first I thought this was a model - the people look so tiny against those high buildings. You're doing well with your new camera.
August 26th, 2017  
This is a super sharp image, an HDR in Black and White.
August 26th, 2017  
@claudiet Thanks Claude - I used to do HDR with my last camera but with this one, I haven't mastered the procedure!
August 26th, 2017  
Very sharp, lovely shot!
August 26th, 2017  
Fantastic shot
August 26th, 2017

Great clear and sharp shot from front to back. Lots to see too.
August 28th, 2017  
Excellent monochrome street shot... great choice of camera - neat, lightweight and a great performer.
August 29th, 2017
