Fujifilm Launches ‘Create Forever’ Storytelling Workshops in USA and Video Tutorials + Glossary Series

Fujifilm has launched “Create Forever”, a series of free tutorial videos and storytelling workshops.

The Create Forever content series is a celebration of storytelling. It’s a celebration of being in the moment, doing what you love, and building a legacy that will be enjoyed by generations to come. We want to inspire you to tell your story, teach you how best to tell it, and provide you with a stage to share it from.

We believe everyone’s story deserves to be heard, so sign up for a workshop, upload an image, and become part of our community.

Fujifilm’s driving force behind the Create Forever campaign is to encourage creators to go forth in the pursuit of making something that matters to them.

And while it is technically a marketing campaign, it surely goes well beyond what we perceive as such and I invite you to check out the dedicated Fujifilm Create Forever page and the workshop section.

To me, this shows once again the great photographic culture Fujifilm has.

Also, check out the Fujifilm Glossary mini tutorial series (all videos below).

Fujifilm vs Canon Colors Blind Test Battle – Here are The Results!

Fujifilm VS Canon – Colors

Canon and Fujifilm both have excellent reputation, when it comes to color science.

Now Andrew compared Fujifilm with Canon RAW as well as JPEG colors.

What we can say ahead:

  • with RAW files, it’s harder for people to have a clear preference
  • with JPEG files, the differences are stronger

The JPEG comparison is more indicative for the so called “color science“, since with RAW files also the converter plays a role.

So, if you don’t have time right now to make the full blind test, I recommend you to go to minute 5:37 of the video and make the JPEG comparison only.

Before I disclose my results, I’d like to say that:

  • I consider Canon colors excellent, and if I should switch brand tomorrow morning , just for the sake of colors, I’d go Canon!

*** TOP TIP ***
turn off “truetone display” on your Mac/iPhone

The Problem

Since I love you so much, in order to give you a more objective feedback, I went through all the comments on the video, and tried to sum them up in a ranking.

It was not easy to summarize, because:

  • sometimes people did not specify enough (example: “Canon is best”)
  • In case of comments like “Canon is best“, I assigned a JPEG point to Canon, although I am not sure those, who made such comments, really made the test
  • In case of Fujifilm, sometimes people did not specify if Classic Chrome or Provia. In which case, I assumed they mean standard Provia
  • In case of close results (just 1 or 2 points of difference), I gave it a “same same”

Overall, reading the comments, I had the impression that those, who said to be Fujifilm shooters, had a very open minded and honest approach to the test. Bravo!

Top 3 Selling Cameras, Lenses, Software and Accessories for September on FujiRumors

Here is the list of top selling gear and software on FujiRumors for September 2019.

TOP 3 SELLING…

Top Accessories

Top Fujifilm Series Cameras

The crazy X-H1 rebate is over, so I guess that’s the last month, where we will see the Fujifilm X-H1 on the top of the ranking.

Top Fujinon Lenses

The brand new Fujinon XF16-80 takes the first spot. It’s apparently a best seller, since Top Manager Toshihisa Iida said at the recent Fujifilm X Summit, that pre-orders are high, and the factory is working hard to try to match initial demand as fast as possible.

Top X Mount Third Party Lenses

Top Software

  1. Luminar 4
  2. Capture One Pro 12
  3. Adobe Creative Cloud

Fake sky replacement and automatic intelligent selective clarity seem to be features people love, since they catapulted Luminar 4 at the top selling position, dethroning Capture One Pro 12.

Sigma Fujifilm X Mount Lenses Coming?

Sigma Fujifilm

Not too far away, Sigma CEO said:

But here on FujiRumors we told you:

Well, it seems there is hope, since at thisistanaka said on twitter here:

16mmF1.4, 30mmF1.4, and 56mmF1.4 have already been released for SONY and OLYMPUS, but they are tailored to EF-S mounts. The rest is Fuji’s XF mount, but this seems to be difficult due to various circumstances. In any case, I was curious that SIGMA started working on Canon’s mirrorless camera lens.

It’s not clear if this really means they will 100% surely release X mount lenses. But surely we hope for it, although Fujifilm clearly said:

Fujifilm does need to share X mount protocols with third-parties, since we offer already lots of glass. But if third-parties reverse-engineer AF lenses for X mount, that’s good from a customers’ point of view

Magnum Photographer David Hurn Shoots Fujifilm X: “Photography has Just Two Controls: Where You Stand and When you Press the Button”

David Hurn – The Life

This is part of our little curiosity and famous X shooter corners, and I think you’ll enjoy this one particularly.

The 2017 BBC documentary “A Life in Pictures” about the great photographer David Hurn has now been uploaded to YouTube (video below).

It’s definitely worth watching in itself for the photography and to learn more about David’s life and art.
