Everytime you release a new video, I like to crack open a cold one, sit back and enjoy those colors

[@jehandelange6266]

Lovely video Matty, so enjoyable to watch :)

Well done mate. Makes me miss Portugal!! 🍷

Photos came out super sharp! Love the vibrant colors

[@mattyloucas]

Appreciate that! Thank you

[@Photolic]

Nice work! I'm Portuguese living in Melbourne, nice to see my country through your eyes, and I'm glad to hear that you had a lovely experience over there. I'm still on the fence to pick the Xe4 since I own an Xt2 so I have been watching all of your content lately!

[@mattyloucas]

How cool! Thanks for tuning in!! I’ll be sure to keep some more coming - you won’t be disappointed if you pulled the trigger!

[@doriyancoleman]

[@NunoAlmeidaPhotography]

You managed to capture our portuguese beach vibes very well ahah! I think I'll probably get an X-E4 to go along with my X-T4!

[@DiogoF.]

Superb. 👏👌🇵🇹🇪🇺🌍

[@mattyloucas]

[@alexruiz5817]

Amazing 👏🔥😎🙏

[@mattyloucas]

Thanks homie!

[@robyn8221]

Beautiful shots. I just bought this camera with the 27mm lens it came with. Can’t wait to go on vacation and get some great shots.

[@mattyloucas]

Thanks Robyn! How exciting! Get after it

[@brunoxavier3279]

[@mattyloucas]

Ahhh thanks Bruno! You’re a lucky man to call that home 👌🏼 will do my friend

[@l00ky007]

The colours are beautifully captured, is that done in processing?

[@lstarkiller1]

Hey man, love your content! Any reason you skipped the stock 27mm pancake lens? Also, if you had to choose between the 23mm and the 18-50mm for strictly photography, which would you choose? Which lens did you use more in Scotland? I'm going there really soon and am trying to decide on which lens to get.

[@Passingmomentsvideo]

Great shots mate. Keen for specs when those shots pop up. What lens was used for this? And what other camera settings?

[@babyboy1971]

Beautiful shots! I’d love to get your thoughts on the following… I’m having a hard time with deciding on a new Fuji body, struggling with GAS, but also feeling like I want a new and/or third body. Right now I’m shooting on an XT3 and an X100V. Love both. I shoot studio portraits and headshots, personal branding photos and the occasional family session. I used to shoot engagements and weddings, but now it’s almost entirely portrait work. I have fallen in love with the rangefinder style of the X100V, and I am eyeing the XPRO 3 and the XE4. If I get the XE4, I can keep my XT3. I’m having a hard time deciding if I should sell my XT3, and get an XPRO 3, keep the XT3 and get an XE4, or just wait and save for the XPRO3 and have three cameras (XT3, XPRO & X100). I’ve also considered the XT4, but I don’t do video, don’t care about IBIS and I just don’t see the upgrade. I like to work very minimalist, and I only have a handful of lenses. I would love your thoughts as to what you would do in my shoes.

Beautiful snaps! How did you manage to drop to f2 on the beach? ND filter?

[@Explorerofthesea]

Very nice trip and gorgeous shots ! what did you use to record the videos ? XE4 24 fps DCI ? thx :)

[@johndoherty1336]

Nice set of photos, love those shot down from the cliff, those taken of the guy playing football also good, thanks for sharing. May I ask did you shoot jpeg or raw and film which film simulations did you use thanks in advance

[@mattyloucas]

Thanks mate! These were all shot in RAW and edited in LR :)

[@edwing3948]

Loved the video and the beautiful photos. May i ask what film stimulation you used (if any) and whether or not you used any filters (ND, or CPL etc)?

[@mattyloucas]

Thank you! I may have used ASTIA on a handful and no I didn't use any filters!

[@patriciasmith3464]

What sims did you use in these? The photos look absolutely amazing

[@mattyloucas]

Some of them were edited with the Astia Soft simulationb
