daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
For today’s time-lapse, I set my Fujifilm X-E4’s shutter speed to “A”. I wanted to see how it adjusts, and if the exposure adjustment is noticeable. While you can see the brightness change several times, it’s not as bad as I thought it would be, but I think I will use fully manual for the future.
Please enjoy the video!
Today was the start of our road-trip vacation to New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah. The first leg of the journey took us through north Texas (not quite up to the panhandle). We saw plenty of cotton fields and had to stop and take a few photos. The cotton was so clean and soft. Amazing!
After a short lunch (sushi!) in the town of Snyder, Texas, we made our way across the border and into New Mexico at the town of Texico. Of course we had to take a photo of the sign, which was not so pretty, as well as the water tower which was much more photogenic (first photo).
After that it was a long push towards Santa Fe, where we checked into our hotel and then headed to Café Castro for a yummy meal of New Mexican Steak and Carne Adovada. It was served with a side of sopapillas and honey. I asked the waiter how to eat them, and he said you can put honey on (or in) it and have as a dessert, or just eat as you would a tortilla with the meal. The sopapilla was really good and it was the first time that I had it not as a dessert. I highly recommend Café Castro. We left very satisfied.
One of the cool things about the drive was that the sky was full of cloud activity, which is heaven for a cloud enthusiast like myself. 😀
I even set up the GoPro to get a Timewarp “drive-lapse” video. Enjoy!
I saw these wispy clouds high up in the air when I went out for my run. They look so cool, don’t they?
It’s the first day of autumn and the daytime temperatures in central Texas have dropped into the 80s. It’s already feeling like Halloween season!
I set up my Fujifilm X-E4 for a long timelapse, but it shut off early. My guess is that it overheated once the sun started hitting it in the late afternoon. Oh well, I still got enough footage to make a short video:
I hope you had a good day!

Hurricane Ida is churning in the Gulf of Mexico and up here in Austin we are seeing the outer band of clouds. It makes for a lot of interesting cloud formations in the sky but I just hope there won’t be too much hurricane damage along the coast…
It’s been a while since I made a time-lapse video using my Fujifilm X-E4 but today was a great opportunity. Enjoy!
This was my view of the sky from my place at our dinner table. The light only lasted several seconds but luckily I had my Fujifilm X-E4 nearby to capture it. Half a minute later, the color had faded from the cloud and was replaced by a greyish blue, which was still lovely but not nearly as as dramatic. I was happy to view this change until I thought about all the moments like this that go unnoticed and then I felt a little sadness.
