Fuji X-E1 and my X100 hard at work

I have been rather busy over the last few days shooting Paddocks House. The second new boutique in the House collection chain. Having had the pleasure of shooting the fist hotel I was very pleased to be invited back to shoot the second hotel. The trusty Fuji X-E1 and the X100 combination worked a teat again. I use the 18-55 on the X-E1 for the wide shots and the X100 for the details and macro. Sometimes I will put the 35mm f/1.4 on the X-e1 if I need.. For me the details shots are undoubtedly my favourite for a shoot of this type. However this time round I have taken some time out and continued to push the boundaries of HDR abilities for my own work. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have had spending 2 days creating them.

Night-time with the Fuji X100

It’s time to reveal another clever little trick the Fuji x100 has up its sleeve and I hope both the Fuji X-pro1 and Fuji X-E1 both have. Again this can only be done with the wonderful EVF feature. This cannot be done with a TTL camera that dose not have live view. The Fuji x100, Fuji X-pro1 and Fuji X-E1 all do this with easy and its easy to learn. Again this camera proves to be simply outstanding night time image quality. Some of these shots are hand held the others are sitting walls or posts that I find near by. I should get a little tripod really.
