Brewery Window. San Jose, California. June 21, 2017. © Copyright 2017 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A window at Hapa’s Brewery in San Jose, California
Today's photograph is the result of something other than endeavoring to go out and make photographs, but it might also be evidence that some kind of photograph can be made almost anywhere at almost any time. We heard there was an event hosted by Fujifilm at a relatively new brewery not too far from where we live. We have been meaning to visit this place for months without ever quite managing to go, but the prospect of getting to play with a range of Fujifilm camera equipment and try out a new brewery was enough to get us to go.
The premise of the event was loaning various Fujifilm cameras and lenses to interested folks for fifteen minutes at a time. I already really on a Fujifilm system for my street and travel photography, but I thought it would be fun to play with their tiny rangefinder X100F, a small fixed-lens camera in the street photography tradition. I didn't have a lot of exotic subjects to work with — basically a brewery full (mostly) of people trying out cameras! This photograph had two goals. The mundane one was testing the bokeh of the fixed lens on this small camera. The aesthetic angle was placing the window frame in such a way that it divided the background into four independent images rectangles that are quite different from one another.

It's funny how sometimes when you look out from your living room window the weather looks so nice and warm but usually the reality is quite different here in Iceland and we call this phenomenon "windoweather" (Gluggaveður)
Here I'm using a Sony a7s with a Canon 16-35mm F4 IS lens. The lens is like no other Canon ultra wide lens I have tried before as it is sharp corner to corner wide open. To make the Sony camera work with the Canon lens I need an adapter. Here I'm using the Fotodiox Pro EF-NEX auto and I can't see any difference between using my Canon 5D3 vs the Sony A7s image wise with the 16-35mm lens other the resolution as the Sony A7s is 12mp and the Canon is over 20mp. A wile back Ken Rockwell did a test with a similar setup and found some problems with the image quality. I have done all kinds of test and have yet to find any problems with this setup myself other then slow focusing and believe me, I'm really picky!!
If you use this setup like I do, for landscape, seascape or nightwork and don't need focusing then this setup works fine.
I'm also trying out new brand of 100mm filters from Zomei. The Zomei 0.9 Graduated filter is a resin filter, same as my Lee but much cheaper. The build quality is on par with the Lee and both fit in the same 100mm holder. The optical quality is about the same tho it does suffer from a little magenta colorcast, but that is easily fixed in post. The Zomei is about 85% of the price of the Lee 0.9 Grad so you can have a whole set of filters for the price of one Lee grad.
so we went around the small town
in between lanes and side walk
looking for anything that we fancy off
i dont have to look far tho'
for windows are easy to find

Description: Fenestraria rhopalophylla is an evergreen mat forming geophyte, mainly subterranean with just the tips of the leaves appearing above the soil.
