Pic(k) of the week 11: LIFE GUARD ON DUTY - Fujifilm X-100V

For the first time in a long time, I've been reviewing two new Fujifilm cameras in parallel; the entry level X-T200 (first look review here) and the latest X-100V Range finder like camera.

I will be posting an in the field review of the X-100V in the near future, but can already share that I haven't been excited as much about a new camera since the launch of the X-T2! For me it is easily the best looking Fujifilm X-series camera ever produced. 

The image below, was shot while relaxing at one of the many Dubai beach hotels and illustrates that always keeping a small camera with you, often comes in handy. While I initially framed a few images of the Burj al Arab hotel by itself  including the Life guard on duty, gave the image a good sense of place. 


Image details:
  • Fujifilm X-100V
  • ISO 320, 1/480s, f16
  • RAW file development in LR CC
  • DxO ColorEfex PRO with Gradient and Skylight filters
The image is edited slightly but shows the good dynamic range (using the RAW file) of the X-Trans 4 sensor.
