Pop-up flash, dude!

Hello, have you tried the XT-30 II as well? I'm looking for a more compact camera for mainly street photo and I'm still hesitating between XE-4 and XT-30 II. What are the main differences and which one would you recommend?

Anywhere we can find that very straight vector brush you use for masking at all? Great video btw!

lovely little diary video that speaks not just of gear but experience w/ the gear 👌🏽

I think this convinced me to go for the mini compared to the other bigger models cause of that sticky note analogy , it’s a lot less daunting to create art on a smaller canvas than a large one… even with traditional graphite and charcoal im the same way , if the paper is too large it’s too intimidating to get started

How's with night photo?

i recently got myself a film setup to, wich i only payed 23$ on. minolta x300 with the md rokkor 45mm f2 and the 28mm 2.8. love it. and while film isnt the cheapest, i think you can do it in quite a reasonable modertation. i found that buying film online is overpriced as heck. on the flip side, we have a local drugstore here that sells 3-4 films like kodak gold200 and agfa apx100 for 7,50$ a roll. adding like 10$ for development for one roll and you ll end up with roughly 50cents per image taken. if you use it very intentionally and for example set a challange of: you want to take 2 photos every single day. you ll end up with a cost of like 1$ per day while enjoying film. and 60 nice photos every months is actually quite a lot tbh. For bags, i am going a complete different approach. i hate camera bags. overpriced and they are usually designed as a camera bag, rendering them useless as normal bags, so if you need a normal bag in your daily life, you kind of need to carry 2 bags. Something i found to be way better is just using camera bag inserts. you can buy small protective square camera bag inserts with seperators and cushioning for like 20-30$ And those things, you can put into... ANY bag, effectively transforming any bag into a camera bag, while also having a bag you can use as a normal bag on top

i love the idea of the xe2 tbh. but there is just one tiny thing, thats holding me back on it and kind of prefers the xt2 or xt20 wich isnt THAT much larger and cost about the same. and that is fuji x raw studio. i really love the idea of experimenting with film sims and kind of deinstall LR but the fuji software is actually awesome for that. you can save and manage as many film sims as you want, transfer them and even shoot raw and let x raw studio export and process your raws within the camera applying various filmsims while also adjusting the settings to really tweak your own sims. you can get the jpg results without editing raw while also having the benefits of raw because the software is using the build in processing of the camera itself. thats kind of the perfect middleground to me where i dont wanna go fully jpg and rely on my cameras display, but i am also sick of editing raws. the software seems to be really sleeper awesome. sadly the xe2 isnt supported. the xt2 and xt20 however ARE.

It's awesome to see someone shout out Ten Hundred! Also love your setup!

Hi Weston, thanks for this video. Finally, one that is not too quick ❤ I am getting into digital collage art as an analoog artist it's time to jump into the digital opportunities ❤ loved to see your process and it inspired me. So I no my Xmas present a tablet + procreate ❤ just wish you've had more lessons 🙏🏻 have a great day.

Nice little town, where is it?

High quality video from this cam. Im glad you used it for this video. Now we see how good it is

Great video. Thank you.

I'm using a x-t20... always impress!!

Have print option I'm ipad mini if use cricut?

Hey im very late, but question: what is the photoshop app for? Because you said you cant use photoshop onnyour ipad so is it just for file export and stuff? Or can you use it like on a desktop?

Film recipe options are terrible on trans II sensors. Can only save 3 custom white balances which = 3 recipes unless another recipe shares the same exact white balance settings.

Good video , just not explaining the process, just to fast..🇬🇧

what brush do you use to cut?

I have the XE1 and i found it still in the box with the 18-55. I bought the 27mm f2.8. The XE1&2 have the best layout imo. Same size as the X100.

Ordered one yesterday from mp* and now i can't sleep at night. 😊 Sold my Q2 for a big Hassie H3d but that's no camera to do street ph. Had an x-t2 several years ago but the x-e2 seems like a better camera for streetphotography.. more convenient...or just so nice to look at

What about copyright?

Hey can you pleae make side by side photo comparison between xe2 vs xe4?

Love my XE4, Fuji should never have stopped making it. Hopefully they release a 5 next year as rumoured 🤞🏼📸

Yea right, as if you can read. 🤭

Surprised you don't find the xtrans-ii sensor sharp. I had an x-t1 with the same sensor, and it performed better than my A6000 with its much celebrated and larger (24mp vs 16mp) sensor.

Nice video, thanks for sharing your setup. I’ve shot with the X-700 since I bought it in 1980 and I can never understand why people say cameras like that force you to slow down. The price of film these days might force you to slow down but I spent many years shooting too fast with it!

Brilliant and eloquent! I know God is real. And the story He writes for us I know points us to Christ. Still hard though. This story resonated! Thanks for bringing it to us.

This is awesome! Love the storytelling and this makes me want to do more photography. I often feel a like an eternal novice, though. I own a Sony A7ii. I need to get a lens outside of the kit lens.

Hi! How do I take off the bottom guard someone gave it to me

i want that mhg-ex grip it so hard to find now

xe2 with 23f1.4 its one of the best camera i love, it is only camera with built in pop up flash so useable when bouncing the flash light to the ceiling and can create wonderful portrait image.

Good video, would have been better if you had gone a bit slower, found it hard to keep up 👏🇬🇧

wow the colours in your photos look really good! do you use film simulation recipes or edit raw? Im cureently debating between x pro 3 and xe4 - I have a XT50 and will test both tomorrow but dont like the form factor and useless features of the XT line. other than IBIS maybe it's a bit overkill for me.

Hey ! How did you get the time like that on your home page? I was trying to copy your layout but I can’t get the time like that 3:14

Please do more of these art process videos :D

Damn. I can really relate here. Thank you for sharing this.

I’m intrigued by the recipe, I’ll load that up this week.

Just came across this video. I’m new to photography so this was a great video for a newbie like me. Thanks for posting! I like your IG. Cool pics of things we see every day but in a very unique way. 😊

Hi Weston, great video! What is the bag you appear using in the first take of the video? Noticed is a different one from the one you talked later in the video. Also have a xe4 and it’s the best! Will try the recipe you shared. Cheers!

Just to let you know that Fuji branded film is Kodak inside at the mo. 400 is Ultramax and 200 is Gold. Ultramax doesn't have as heavy a Kodak warm signature as other films so the primary colours pop a little more but it's not the poppy greens that Fuji OG stock had. They have recently moved packaging to China at the Lucky Film factory so the hope is they will move production there and it'll have a different colour signature.

I regret selling my X-E2s, but it was part of the story of how I got my M3. Which do you prefer, the 2 or 4?

Yawn

What grip do you have for the X-E2?

Smart move put you wallet and keys into a bag that just screams steal me

Nice pictures. I use an x-pro I've had for years. I also (seldom) use a Minolta x-570. I hate Sony products.

“…in 2024” but this was uploaded in FEBRUARY 2023??? Come on, have some integrity

Excellent work! I’m also taking/posting a photo everyday and I’ve found an everyday kit that I m happy with.
