About the Image(s)

A table top picture of the old Fujifilm XE3. It is pretty well superseded by the latest hot camera a Fujifilm XE-4. I have no idea what makes it better other than the price.. It’s a great camera IMHO. Image created with a Fujifilm XPro2, 23mm lens, ISO 1600, -1.3 EV. f/16, ?…?. Post processed in Luminar Neo.

Your exposure focus, clarity and contrast are all well done. I like the angle at which you photographed the camera too. Technically well done. My only small suggestion is to include the top curve of the strap in the frame.   Posted: 11/07/2024 15:53:46

You are right I should have caught that

I agree with Cindy. You may try to shoot without the strap. It may make it too plain, yet something to try. I would also use a blower to help get rid of the dust on the inside and outside of lens. Did a good job on exposure and tones.   Posted: 11/07/2024 18:23:01

Chuck, I like your inclusion of the strap but agree with Cindy about including the upper curve. I also agree with James about the dust. Other than that, good sharpness, detail and tonal range. The side lighting is effective.   Posted: 11/11/2024 01:09:45

Nice image. Do you use reflectors for your table top images? Depending on whether you'd like more definition on the right side, and top right of the camera body and lens, a reflector could provide it.   Posted: 11/19/2024 01:01:31

Not much anymore. Only on occasion. I do see what you are talking about. Thanks   Posted: 11/19/2024 01:11:44
