Fujifilm XT20 Night Photo POV // Porto

[@miguel88ms99]

I recently bought a XT20, I’m pleased to hear good things about it 😊 beautiful pictures!

[@ronan_duff]

Thanks Miguel, hope you enjoy the camera!

[@lasaveloy]

I thought I was watching a massive channel. Great video! Also absolutely beautiful shots.

[@ronan_duff]

Ah that’s very kind of you to say, maybe someday but thank you. Really appreciate it.

[@peterdavies9166]

Great video and shots. I especially like your use of the fog. The X-T20 is my primary camera. I bought it new right at the end of its availability on Amazon. The X-T30 was already available, but I preferred the X-T20 D-pad controls over the X-T30 joystick. I still have no regrets about my choice, and using it with the XF18-55 "kit lens" and the XF 35/1.4 prime still does everything I need.

[@ronan_duff]

@@peterdavies9166 that’s interesting you preferred the D Pad, I’m much more of a fan of the joystick myself but each to their own! The kit lens in so good, I’ve used it so much this year traveling and it’s really such good value for money - glad to see you’re still enjoying and happy with your XT20!

[@seppecelis9434]

Own the xt20 and, when I upgraded a year ago to the XT5, though of sellingit. But there is something about my first date with fuji that makes me want to keep it! Great shots and video - thxs for sharing

[@ronan_duff]

@@seppecelis9434 it’s hand to let go of your first camera, isn’t it? At least the XT20 is different enough that you could maybe justify keeping it? lol Thanks for watching, really appreciate it!

[@konstantin_lv]

I loved the shots with neon signs. You’ve handled the camera failure like a pro!

[@ronan_duff]

@@konstantin_lv hahaha just doing my best, thanks for watching!

[@fireystella]

the photos are stunning!

[@ronan_duff]

@@fireystella thanks so much, very nice of you to say :))

[@arranthundow7705]

Ive got a xt20 , kit lense an 33- 1.4. An I’ve been struggling in low light , blurry images mainly but very impressive what can be achieved

[@bigridiron]

Great shots, man

[@ronan_duff]

@@bigridiron thanks very much, kind of you to say!

[@pemadoc]

hi! love the shots! Just want to ask what settings do you use while shooting? were you shooting in aperture priority or do you mix them? thanks!

[@ronan_duff]

@@pemadoc hey, thanks for the kind words, they’re really appreciated! I shoot almost exclusively in aperture priority - apart from the long exposure shots (which I rarely do in fairness), it’s as above.

[@shin867]

how do you get your peak design anchors to fit through the xt20 holes?? im having issues..

[@ronan_duff]

@@shin867 ah yeah this is an eternal struggle with Fuji cameras - my method is essentially a small screwdriver and to basically force it to pop out. I’m sure there’s a better method but this is the way I’ve managed to every time, and if you find a better way please let me know because it’s something I really dread having to do! (Just be careful of scratching your camera, because I’ve done that a few times doing just this…)

[@ealcoriza]

Nice shots! Do you use any film recipes on these or you post processed all of your shots?

[@ronan_duff]

@@ealcoriza these are all RAW photos that have been edited!

[@onehalph]

I love it instantly :-) Thank you. Please, may I ask you which lens do you use for that black and white pictures at the beginning (~2.00 min.)? Thanks a lot.

[@ronan_duff]

Thanks very much @onehalph! The lens used for those shots was the 33mm 1.4 from Fuji :))

[@janwido27]

You have a great eye for scenes. Do you edit your pictures or are those sooc?

[@janwido27]

Also, the music is way too loud or the sound of you talking is too low.

[@ronan_duff]

Thanks very much Jan, that’s really nice of you to stay. These are all edited RAWS but frequently use and share SOOC they’re that good. Especially for social media, friends etc

[@ronan_duff]

@@janwido27 yeah there are some sections I lowered my voice audio because it was out of context, if it’s those then I might just cut my voice fully nex5 time to avoid confusion - cheers for the input!

[@janwido27]

@@ronan_duff that’s definitely better!

[@elishevaazerad]

Beautiful!! What lens are you using for the video in front of the neon lights? It’s an amazing shot. I got recommended 17-70mm.

[@ronan_duff]

@@elishevaazerad thanks very much for the kind words! I’m using the 33mm 1.4 Fuji lens - it’s a bit of an expensive lens I won’t lie but it’s easily my favourite/best lens I own from fujiflm.

[@aydest]

The shots were amazing, I always pictured going to Porto and Lisbon for the day time photography but night photos are also looking real good!! What bag are you using by the way?

[@ronan_duff]

@@aydest I can’t say for Lisbon but I’ve loved Porto at night, incredibly cool place at night to photograph. I’ve a bigger backpack the Wandrd PRVKE 31L for longer days out/trips and then I use a Peak Design Sling 3L for everyday, smaller setups - both are great and can’t fault them.

[@ferbenz8648]

I have the money for a fujifilmx-t30 ii, do you think i should go for that one? Or should i buy the x-t20 over the x-t30ii mate?

[@ronan_duff]

@@ferbenz8648 ooooh - that’s a tough one. I have the XT30ii and use it all the time, and it is a better camera than the XT20 for sure. The back LCD in particular is much better, autofocus and more film sims all make it a better camera. I’d say go for that if you can, but if you decide on an XT20 it won’t let you down got lenses already or still have to pick some up?

[@Scp978]

Hello, great shots men ! Can i ask you what films simulations did you use ?

[@ronan_duff]

@@Scp978 Classic Chrome for colour and Acros for b&w! Thanks very much for the kind words

[@ronan_duff]

@@Scp978 you’re more than welcome, very happy to help - thanks for watching :))

[@mcahill0]

Nice, enjoyable watch. Good job. May i ask, did you have a diffusion filter on the len(s) for any shots, or was it natural with the mist/fog?

[@ronan_duff]

@@mcahill0 hiya Mark, it was both actually! I shoot with a 1/8 bpm filter normal but the fog was defintely adding to it - if anything the fog was probably enough in its own. Thanks for the kinda words man.

[@sigitpurnama3725]

how to get that bloomy highlight man, did u use cinebloom or blackmist filter?

[@ronan_duff]

@@sigitpurnama3725 hey man! I use a 1/8 Black Pro Mist filter usually. These were all shot using K&F bpm filters

[@sofhiapagsanjan4209]

Thinking of selling my GX85 for XT20. Is it worth the switch?

[@ronan_duff]

Hi Sofhia, thanks for commenting and watching! That's the Lumix GX85 right? I'll be honest, I have very little experience with that camera or series of cameras - is there anything you think you're missing from your current camera?

[@kedralive]

Photos from this video was taken in JPEG or RAW?

[@ronan_duff]

@@kedralive hi Kedra, these were all edited RAW files, using film sims as a base in Capture One!

[@kedralive]

@@ronan_duff Nice! What price is good for used body of xt20? And is 18-55mm fujinon lens good

[@ronan_duff]

@@kedralive I would pay somehwere around £350 for a used XT20 body I think is a fair price and I’m a massive fan of the 18-55, great lens and I’ve a video all about it in my channel too!

[@ronan_duff]

@@kedralive I’m also in the middle of putting together an XT20 video so that’ll be out soon fingers crossed!

[@kagari21]

what lens you use?

[@ronan_duff]

@@kagari21 Fujifilm 33mm 1.4 mostly!

[@cheesedrinkal]

[@ronan_duff]

The video from the very start was the XT20 video!

[@DominicTing-vf1ng]

May I know which lens did you use for these photo?

[@ronan_duff]

Hi Dominic, the lenses used were the Fujifilm 33mm 1.4 and the 23mm f2 - hope that helps!

[@gauravkrishna1270]

@@ronan_duff out of these 2 lenses which is your preferred one for street? If you had to choose just 1?

[@ronan_duff]

I think if I had to pick just one it’d be the 23mm f2 - just for the fact I could always crop in, but the 33mm 1.4 is still my favourite lens in general!

[@DominicTing-vf1ng]

@@ronan_duff what do you think about xt20 with 18-55mm or 16-50mm?

[@ronan_duff]

@@DominicTing-vf1ng I haven’t used the 16-50 yet so I can’t say too much about it but I’m a massive fan of the 18-55, it was the lens I bought with my XT4 and I still use it now! Great lens, if you want more about it I’ve got a video all about it!

[@antyouto]

I still shoot with the xt20 always have always will

If it works it works
