9 Feb 25 Reply Straight out of the camera is the beauty of Fuji simulations. I'm going to get to know the default simulations before I try some of the recipes. I did download the Fuji X app with loads of choices. Feb 19th
9 Feb 25 Reply Linda, Your advise is much appreciated. Opening up the left makes sense to leave room for the motion of the front player. I've got to get back to experiment ! Feb 19th
9 Feb 25 Comment Jim, Seems that I have a consensus on opening the aperture to focus on my nephew. Keeping focus on the subject and blurring the background with the 1/250 to 1/500 is going to take some practice.

And no they didn't win the game. However, his Dad said the photos looked like they won! It's all in who's capturing the images. Thank you for your tips!

9 Feb 25 Reply LOL...it's always the three "P's." So nice that you and your husband share the art of photography! Feb 17th
9 Feb 25 Reply Sabine, I do like your crop. It show's more of the story with the score keeper and the coach who's my great nephew's Dad. Your post editing makes a world of difference. Thank you. Feb 17th
9 Feb 25 Reply Randy, Sounds like shooting sports forces you to be more intentional about what you're capturing. Shallow depth of field on your subject makes a lot of sense. Just like any composition but the components are moving. I can imagine that you shooting your daughter's races was priceless and resulted in fun family times!

Your explanation makes shooting sports clearer. Thank you.

9 Feb 25 Reply Sylvia, I agree sports photography is challenging. Denoise is a good idea. Appreciate your advice. Feb 17th
9 Feb 25 Reply Jim, Looks really cold! I"m a fan of black and white. I like your framing with the fence and shadows in the snow for foreground. The trees create an interesting background. I lightened the house and darkened the fence a bit. Overall, I like your photo. Feb 12th

9 Feb 25 Comment Randy, Nice hawk shot. He's so out in the open looks like he's guarding the reserve. I have not shot many birds so I can't offer any advice. Did you use a Fujifilm simulation? I've recently purchased a x pro 3 and have been experimenting. Feb 12th
9 Feb 25 Comment Sylvia, Great owl shot! He's striking quite the pose and attitude with his wrapped wings . Even though his feathers are the same colors of the tree you captured sharp details in the feathers. The spots of yellow on the tree and beak complement the composition. My only suggestion would be to crop a little more on the right. Great shot. Feb 12th
9 Feb 25 Comment Linda, Is this similar to Sabine's painterly technique? Very creative. You're inspiring me to experiment. Feb 12th
9 Feb 25 Comment Sabine, I like the softness of this image . The sun light falling across the image leads you. The colors of the lamppost and roof add interest. Comparing the two images, the flipped image adds a calmness.

In painterly, are you able to control the sharpness at all? You always seem to find great techniques. What's your secret?
