Fuji X-T1, 55-200mm lens fully extended f 16, 1/15 sec ISO 400. ©Copyright 2014 Peter MacDonald Photography. All Rights Reserved.

From a vantage point high on a slope on Moolooloo Station near Blinman in the central Flinders.

Three days at the same spot, waiting, waiting…freezing cold and a bitter wind. You’ve got to be nuts.

Despite the discomfort and the conditions, the Fuji X series cameras and lens have now been through a scorching, dusty  summer and this cold and wet  winter with flying colours.

I am confident that this image and the earlier landscapes taken with either the X100s, true X-Pro  or the X=T1, the three prime lens and the 55-200mm zoom are all capable of turning out high quality images which in turn means large, high quality prints.

For a bloke with a crook back, the size and weight is the icing on the cake.

Shot just before 10pm Daylight Saving time with a Fuji X-Pro f 6.4, 1/4 sec, ISO 800 with tripod.

The Research Laboratory and the new Adelaide Hospital under construction

The changing Adelaide skyline looking very space age.

The final test for the Fuji…could it produce really high quality images at night?

This will probably end up as a large print on a wall somewhere because the resolution and detail was outstanding.

This is not a camera review, but the image speaks for itself.

A new additional to my cameras, the Fuji X-Pro 1 with a 50mm equivalent prime lens.

Shot at f1.6 at 1/40th sec at ISO 1250. Hand held.

Very much a low light situation with no noise in the image. Straight from the camera but slightly cropped.

It’s a birthday/Christmas present I bought for myself…and maybe next year’s as well.
