Clumber Park - Autumn
This is another image made on the Fuji X-Pro 1 with the 18-55mm lens. I had a brief burst of beautiful light just before the sun dipped below the horizon and it really made the forest glow inside.
This is an in-camera jpeg, just with a slight levels tweak and a touch of high pass sharpening - nothing else. I have yet to process the raw file.
I am now the proud owner of the brand new 23mm f1.4 prime lens for the Fuji (35mm full frame equiv). I am off to Norway in a few days to co-lead an aurora workshop north of the arctic circle so the Fuji is coming with me. I will be testing the new 23mm, as well as the 35mm and the 18-55 up there to see how the Fuji perfumes in extreme cold and also at high ISO in total darkness capturing the aurora. I will have my 5D mk3 kit too and so comparisons between cameras will be interesting.
In no way do I expect the Fuji to be as good as the 5D, but what I am keen to see is how close it gets and then weigh this against the cost of the Fuji kit as opposed to the cost (and weight) of the Canon gear.
Watch this space, and my blog at dougchinnery.com where I hope to be posting trip reports fem the arctic with early images and thoughts if time allows.
