FUJIFILM X-Pro1 (18mm, f/2, 1/125 sec, ISO320)
The last coffee in 2012. At McDonalds. How sad is that? But the 31st of December wasn’t that bad at all. The year was. But it’s over now and I’m looking forward to 2013. The last day of the year was very nice. We slept long and than we decided to go “sightseeing”. We drove to Vienna to see the Wotruba church. It was built in the 1970s and but it still feels modern and fresh today. Continue reading
SONY DSC-RX100 (10.4mm, f/1.8, 1/100 sec, ISO640)
In the past I only took my iPhone or compacts to concert because usually it is not allowed to take picture or to shoot movies. This great concert was no different: No pictures and no recording of the event! But nobody seems to care about all the smart phones. People used their smartphones to shoot images and movies.

FUJIFILM FinePix X100 (23mm, f/2, 1/40 sec, ISO1000)
Will I become a JPEG shooter? I don’t think so.

This is especially true for the Velvia setting. The images just get the punch and boost in colors they need. The effect is not overly aggressive but it really makes a lot of difference to the original RAW file. Continue reading
FUJIFILM FinePix X100 (23mm, f/2, 1/40 sec, ISO1250)
When it’s cold, wet and grey outside and you are not feeling well there are only two things you can do: 1. stay in bed 2. visit a museum.
As you can see I chose later. Continue reading

4. Image quality: ( click on each image to see it’s 1500 pixel version )
Today there is no 150MP full frame camera. Even the 36MP sensor of the Nikon D800 is considered too much for most of the lenses. You need the best lenses and technique to make the camera shine. The RX100 sensor scaled up would result in a 150 MegaPixel full frame camera so it needs a very good lens and good technique to get most out of it. Continue reading
