daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
Photography-related posts. I talk about inspiration, settings, gear, other photographers, etc.
To help offset the cost of my new camera, I am selling a lot of my old gear. I don’t think I’ve ever used this 135mm Nikkor lens (it came as part of a film camera ebay purchase), but I found a local photographer who I sold it to. I hope he can get some good use out of it!
Just a quick PSA that I hope can help someone out. If you experience Fujifilm X100T Wi-Fi app connection issues using the Fujifilm Wi-fi App to connect your camera to your Android device, change your phone’s “name” in the app settings, then on the camera, “Change access point” so that it searches for a new device.
It seems like if the app remembers your phone’s old name and tries to connect, it will fail. However, if it searches for a new device, it will connect. I hope this helps!
I got a new camera! As you can see, it’s a beautiful X100T by Fujifilm, in black. I’ll write more about it in the coming months, but I am excited to be using this amazing picture-capturing machine.

One of the omiyage that my family brought home for me was this version of Fuchiko. I like it a lot! The various Fuchikos are a lot of fun to take photos of. And if you break a few of them out at a restaurant with friends, it’s usually a good time!
This is why I prefer to shoot in RAW. You can really do a lot with the RAW information in Lightroom! Sure, you can do a lot with JPEG too, but RAW just lets you do more, and rescue some photos that might be lost causes. I highly recommend shooting in RAW, then watching the hundreds of useful Lightroom tutorials on YouTube. I particularly like Serge Ramelli’s videos.
