 “Awesome Clouds” Cedar Park, 2019

On the way back from In-n-Out Burger, Koa and I saw this amazing cloud. I had to pull over and make this snapshot with my phone. In the past, I’d use a Sony NEX-6 which I kept in the car, but Bay needed it at school to take photos of his architectural models, so I’ll have to make do with my Motorola Moto G6. A little post-processing in Lightroom goes a long way! 😆

 “With the WCL-X100” Cedar Park, 2019

It’s been a while since I’ve bought a camera or lens, but here’s my newest acquisition: the Fujifilm WCL-X100 wide-angle adapter. It’s basically a lens that screws onto the front of the X100 lens and changes the 35 mm (equivalent) focal length into a 28 mm, with no significant loss in quality. 35 to 28 may not seem like much, but it actually makes a big difference.

28 mm used to be my favorite focal length and I’ve had a 28 mm lens since the 80s when I used my Minolta X-700, so it’s nice to pair that focal length with my favorite camera of all time, my Fujifilm X100T.

The first thing I did after receiving the WCL-X100 (which I bought used for $179), was to take this time-lapse. The sun was going down and I just missed an awesome cloudburst (see photo at the bottom of this post), but I think the sky still looked amazing. FYI, I set the camera to auto-shutter speed so it could adjust to the darkening sky. I think it did pretty good, with only slight flickering.

At 28 mm:

And for comparison, here’s a time-lapse looking towards the same direction at 35mm.

Can’t wait to put the WCL-X100 to more use!
