Confessions of a Toy Camera Shooter....Confess Here!

Rupert · 11-09-2014, 11:42 AM

I like goats.....I had a good friend that raised goats. He got so attached that he started letting them live in the house with him on cold winter nights....I didn't visit him often after that!

Some were those "Boar Goats" and were pretty large. He sold them for their meat, but after a while he had them all named and just kept them around for company. He passed away a few years ago, but my last trip out to his place was when I went to leave and two goats were on the roof of my truck and refused to get down until I reached the gate of his place.

Nice selfie Mr Bassie.....it's what Toy Cameras are all about, shooting for fun as well as seriousness, and shooting often, not just when "everything is perfect" for a finicky DSLR!

Regards!

Good selfie earlier in the thread Mr Bassie

The Chrome sure was polished on the head lamp.

The last Picture is not showing

I have been a little busy, but will try to get some Pictures up soon

Hmm... i just tried in Google Chrome, and it showed fine
But in IE i cannot see it, but i see the other Pictures in the thread fine. Strange, but it's probably something at my IE?

Another toy flower. Can you see this one?

I can see all of them clearly Mr Bassie....lookin' good too!

NKK- I left IE years ago for Firefox over just that sort of problem..... far too often.

Some X20 Toy Camera setting shots.....I don't have a goat, but my son's pig is a willing subject!

Cropped this one so lost the lower vignetting....

I was using the X10 and noticed that I was having a very hard time locking focus. Switched to the X20 and focus was instant. Fuji did make a big leap in focus with the X20/X30 and it makes indoor shooting much easier!

Regards!

Pugtastic Rupert! Cute dog!

Piano lesson ihn B&W with Yellow Filter:

Rupert · 11-10-2014, 07:59 AM

Very nice B/W shot Mr Bassie.......you do so well with your B/W X30 shooting. Are you bracketing the different filters and then picking the one you like best, or are you just picking out a filter and using it alone?

BTW- Really enjoyed that flower...hot pink is hard to shoot, but the Toy Camera mode did a good job of it.

Regards!

Currently I am just picking the filter. Yellow is usually good for people and red is better for high contrast.

Bracketing is cool but it eats up a lot of card space. I would love it if I could just do a color and B&W together without a third type required.
