X-T10 rumor update: Thanks to a new source, we now know that, instead of an ISO dial, the Fujifilm X-T10 will feature a function dial! They have basically made a big dial out of the little one under the ISO dial. So you’ll still have a dial to set BKT, CH, CL, Double Exposure, Panorama…

HOT MAY: The X-T10 will be announced on May 18. But we should see also a new Kaizen Firmware Update for the X-T1, which is rumored to come in May (maybe 11th of May). So make sure to follow FujiRumors.

The Inimitable Beauty of Fuji Colors :: Photojournalist (and X-shooter) Aristide wins World Photography Arts&Culture Award!

Share

There is something special with the Fuji Colors… they have a unique character and inimitable beauty that stands out from the rest of the crowd. And before you start saying it’s just Fanboy bla bla bla, just read this short story.

As many of us in these days, also FR-reader Haye was checking out and enjoying the wonderful pictures that won the World Photography Awards 2015. And while he was clicking from image to image, he stumbled on an amazing picture and thought: “These are Fuji Colors, it must have been shot with a Fuji!”

So he dropped an email to Aristide Economopoulos, the Photojournalist who won the World Photography Arts & Culture Award, asking him if that image had been taken with an X-series camera.

And guess what? Haye was right. Aristide Economopoulos photographed the blond lady with the Fujifilm X-T1 and XF 18mm!

Haye told me about it and I immediately wrote an email to Aristide, asking for permission to share his image and this story on FujiRumors. Aristide was very kind and shared some more information about his 10 frames “Prom Essay” series, which, as said above, gained the 1st Place in the Arts & Culture section of the World Photography Awards 2015 (Congratulation!).

“7 of the 10 photos were shot with my Fuji X-T1 or X-PRO1. […] The photo of the blonde girl was shot with my X-T1. I like to shoot with the Velvia setting since it was one of my favorite films. I was using the 18mm f2 lens for that photo. Work provides me with Canon gear which is great but I like the small, quiet, non intimidating Fuji cameras. The files they produce are nice and lenses are sharp.

This past summer I shot my whole essay on the resort beach area of Coney Island in New York City with my Fujis and most of my Cuba work is also with them.

I recommend you to check out Aristide’s website www.aristidephoto.com!

Now, according to the poll launched last year in October, the Fuji colors are one of top three reasons to own an X-series camera. And if you still didn’t vote, then here it is again.

enjoy your weekend and Capture the nice Spring Colors with the Great Fuji Colors ;) … feel free to share your shots on the FR-facebook timeline (“add Photo/Video”)

and stay tuned on FujiRumors… more rumors are coming soon… very soon!

The World of Film Simulation: ProNeg, Astia and Provia

Share

The 4th, 5th and 6th episode of Fuji’s film simulation is now online at Fujifilm X World.

In Episode 4 they talk about the PRONEG Film Simualtion.

“PRO Neg. The tonality is very soft, and the skin tone appears very soft. The rich tonality reflects the lighting setting perfectly. If you just press the shutter button without thinking of the final output, then it will just produce a boring flat image. The film simulation is most effective when you have clear vision of the final output. The film simulation is great for studio portraiture where you have time to think about composition, lighting, pose, and expression. […] “PRO Neg. Hi” has a harder tonality when compared with “PRO Neg STD”,”

Epsiode 5 is all about ASTIA:

“ASTIA is designed to be used under little or no lighting and subject in action. The film simulation is carefully designed to express the soft skin tones and not to wash out at the high end while making the shadow end a little hard. Tonality is designed so that it is sharp enough even without the use of lighting.”

In Episode 6 they cover the film simulation PROVIA:

“No matter what the subject, lighting, or the shooting environment may be, you will find the photos non-collapsed when it is taken in PROVIA. You will also probably find yourself not needing to change the settings when you shoot in PROVIA.”

We talked about Classic Chrome here and Velvia here.
