Zimbabwe Creeper
If this tiny- completely untouched but reduced (yes!) – detail of an original digital photo of a Zimbabwe Creeper in my garden in Noordhoek, South Africa, looks different from other pictures taken before, guess why!
Zimbabwe Creeper
See the original, untouched (but obviously reduced) image of the Zimbabwe Creeper straight from my brand-new Fujifim X-E1 camera that fell as ‘holy smoke’ into my lap on 13th March 2013! The finesse in the tiny detail – marked on the original here as you see – is simply amazing! And when I took this first picture I had not really studied the vast array of settings yet – and I am still looking forward to go through each and every step with more time!
Fujifilm X E-1 camera
My brand-new Fujifilm X-E1 camera surprised me by being slightly bigger and a bit heavier than my NIKON Coolpix P90! I wouldn’t have thought so, probably based on the elegant, discreet and very minimalistic design, not unlike a Leica. But it’s an incredible machine, that needs careful study and lots of exercise! One thing is clear: with this camera I will return back to the past of good old ‘normal’ cameras – it’s that kind of approach this camera deserves. Of course, having interchangeable lenses makes a big difference in the whole feeling. Here I am using the 18 – 55 mm lens that comes with the kit, however, I am waiting for the 200 mm lens set to come onto the market sometime this year! By then I should even know how to use it LOL
Of course, I experimented already a little with Photoshop, especially as the fine design and transparencies of this photo both dazzled and inspired me! It has to be seen enlarged at 1:1 – but the design of detail is terrific!
Of course, there’s been more in the meantime, and I will come back with it… but currently it’s ‘cleaning up the garden after storms (and before next storms) time’ – so I won’t go into that kind of loud and noisy chaos with my new baby!
