$10 Digicam Morning Light Photo Walk | Fujifilm FinePix T550 in Omaha

[@somephotovideos]

Not too bad of a camera for $10... I still like my Canon PowerShot A4000 IS quite a bit more, but this T550 has waaaaaay more settings and profiles to shoot in. I only got a chance to shoot in Chrome but would like to try some of their other modes to see how the JPGs look without editing. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I could push the shadows with these JPGs - it made me feel better about feeling like I had to pick the highlights or the shadows when making photos in morning light that has a lot of dynamic range. Enjoy!

Hey just wondering if you have any t550 jpegs with no edits still laying around? I've been interested in this camera but it's hard to find good pictures with no edits.

[@somephotovideos]

@@iFiSiKz I do! DM me on Instagram - @matthewTobrien and I'll send you a link.

These great pictures prove once again that you don't need incredibly expensive cameras and lenses to take good photos.👍

[@somephotovideos]

@@ilovealbundy I appreciate that!

[@ccderik]

The light, the birds, the Americana...so atmospherically inspirational! ⭐

[@somephotovideos]

Appreciate that! So glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you for these wonderful pictures- so much beauty in the everyday! And also it is a great message that you don't need to spend a fortune to create fine work.

[@somephotovideos]

It's really amazing what you can get out of something that most people would donate or throw out. These CCD sensors are really special, and I'm continually impressed with the images they create. Appreciate you watching, commenting and being a part of this channel, William!

I love the composition of 5:27. Feels like the boat is almost popping out of the screen!

[@somephotovideos]

My thoughts exactly! Appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@mysustainablefuture000]

amazing shots! I am really jealous of your editing, the photos feel so balanced.

[@somephotovideos]

Thank you! Couldn’t do it without the RNI Films app. Appreciate you watching and commenting!

That one hour cleaning sign is pretty slick as well as the KFAB. The only neon signs we have around these parts is beer signs in the bar windows. Nice color in these shots, and nice bunny.

[@somephotovideos]

Thanks! Yeah, this area has really preserved those signs. I wish the gas station was retro as well. I'm going to do a video on a street here that has two restaurants with beautiful old neon signs. A fast food burger stand called Bronco Burger and an old school pizza shop called La Casa Pizzeria. Alexander Payne has featured both in establishing shots in a few of his films. I even saw him a few weeks ago at our downtown Farmer's Market!

[@yargnad]

@@somephotovideos Very cool. Needless to say, I can't wait. This is my new favorite channel...

[@somephotovideos]

@@yargnad Love it! 🙌❤️

[@Mamotreco]

Those are superb shots

[@somephotovideos]

Thank you!

Nice impressions with the T550. Have read in our discription, you under expose -1/3. This works with all Digicams and I do it too. Some times I go to -2/3 or -1. Have a nur nice time ;-).

[@somephotovideos]

Thank you! And yes, if I continue to experiment with the camera (or others that allow for exposure comp) I will try -2/3 and -1 for sure. I have a video on the Canon PowerShot G11 and I love that that camera has a dedicated dial for exposure compensation. It's awesome!

[@Lizerator]

Wonderful presentation!

[@somephotovideos]

Thanks, Liz! Appreciate you watching.

[@wearetrackclub]

Lovely shots! Great work, especially with a $10 camera 👏

[@somephotovideos]

Thank you! These old digicams are A LOT of fun - whether it's shots with family/friends or the stuff I use them for, you can inject some fun into things by ditching the iPhone for some old tech. Thanks for watching!

[@missindependent10]

Thanks for this video! I was looking for any review of T550 with video and photos, coz theres a bargain of £20 and tempted to buy..

[@somephotovideos]

It’s a good little camera and with some basic editing or even film emulation you can really make some nice photos. Appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@brittkellim]

Did you film some of the footage with this camera? Or was it only the still photos?

[@somephotovideos]

Only the stills. Video is with my EOS R.

[@x_zamirpitts7944]

Can you do photos of people with this camera next

[@somephotovideos]

I think I might have one more round left in me with this camera, but it might be a bit before I get one in with people, especially as winter sets in here in Omaha. Everyone will be at home or in their cars! 🙁

[@x_zamirpitts7944]

@@somephotovideos no rush

[@ToyoteroMundial]

Any new videos planned for 2025?

[@somephotovideos]

Absolutely! I have two ready to be edited and plenty more digicams to try out 👌 Thanks for watching.

[@WhatThePheel]

Topaz labs?

[@somephotovideos]

RNI Films👌

[@WhatThePheel]

@@somephotovideos Amazing shots and quality from such an old cam. I recently bought a f550exr, but doesn't capture as sharp of shots. Was hoping you used Topaz labs for AI sharpening tool, to see if it's worth it haha.

[@somephotovideos]

@@WhatThePheel Yes, these older digicams are surprisingly effective, and the ones with CCD sensors have really surprised me with the character of their images. I know about Topaz but haven’t needed to use it yet. Perhaps in the future…
