Well I sold out and bought a iPad and a accompanying Bluetooth keyboard. Definitely not the smart key board cause that thing is a ripoff if I ever saw one. So here it to the future of this blog and to me actually having a compact system on which to blog on. Love the Lenovo yoga for editing and big task but you cant beat a 11inch laptop for getting the basics done with temeraity. So if your just reading the blog and haven’t really been keeping up with the ig you wouldn’t know that I recently was able to purchase a Fujifilm Gfx 50r, this has been a huge boon, and such a amazing system to start learning. While my style won't change, my ability to maximize the equipment will definitely need some brushing up on. My first few portrait session with this beast have mostly been positive it the camera has some quirks that I was not expecting coming from the Sigma and Sony setup of yore. With the Sigma it basically a full manual camera with autofocus, you have to meter and set everything yourself and nail it or risk having a terrible shot, the Sony is more intuitive and able to guess things for me, I still shoot manual of course but everything is far more easily accessible than the Sigma. I don’t mean to harp on the Sigma I am definitely keeping it as part of my ever growing collection of equipment and as a speciality camera or for when I’m feeling masochistic. The Gfx is strange in-between of the both of them, it has a lot of intuitive controls manual controls thanks to its rangefinder heritage and also a lot of good intuitive controls. Plus the actual customization of the buttons is par none one of the best, you can customize anything and everything. Just a few shots from the gfx edited on the iPad version of Lightroom mobile ! Till next time. Bird out
