Just some thoughts and images

  • No truer words

  • Grain should often be embraced

    Removing noise which is digital grain from images is done on almost every image you see online. There are software packages dedicated to removing noice…but when you are trying to replicate a film stock…like I am here with a Fuji X Weekly receipe for Kodak Tri-X you want the grain.

  • I shoot these a lot…

    I shoot these a lot and I’m not ashamed to say that…and when I am using either a film camera or one of my Fuji’s the colors always look great.

    This time I shoot the flowers with my Fuji 100VI and this image is SOOC and I just added a border in PS.

  • Black and White at New Life

    I am enjoying shooting B/W on my X-T5 with the 33mm 1.4f lens. With Pastor wearing a white shirt it pops on the image to draw attention to it.

  • Black and White at church

    Shooting the Fuji X-T5 using the 33mm 1.4f lens. I am using the Kodak Tri-X 400 film sim.

  • Jonah and his toy

    Jonah our havanese loves his toys. This one is one of his favorites and he was ready to run off with it if I tried to take it.

  • Just some film from last year

    Just had this film development recently and I got it scanned this week. This is Fuji 400 film and although I like a few of the images, I’m not a fan of this film stock and probably won’t buy it again.
