London Trip 2023
Hours from now and I will be in a plane going to London with family.
During this visit I am taking two cameras with me, the Fujifilm X-T30ii and the Nikon S9900 (for its pocket size and zoom), I am thinking to set up the Nikon s9900 for Black and white Photos, were the X-T30ii will be for general and kids photography. With Fuji X-T30ii I per-set 4 film simulations to use, I take those recipes from the net or FujiXweekly then tweak them to meet my taste. A common change I always doing is to set the: Grain set to Off, and Sharpness set to +2 or +3, also I set the Clarity set to Off so there will not be any delay after taking the shot. Once I start taking photos I may do some changes and adjustments, so now I will list the film simulation names and later will post the recipes. 1. Kodakporta400. 2. 1970’s. 3. ilford HP5. [B&W i will change the Apatuer if needed] 4. CineStill800T.

I was looking from the 10th floor office window to a two floor building across “say 40-50 meter” street away using my Nikon S9900 camera that setted-up to take Black and white photos in a sunny day. This was the result.

Why X-T30ii NOT Z FC
Subject: Why X-T30ii NOT Z FC
[:. Sea all of my Cameras and Lenses Here .:]
Starting: I start searching, reading and doing some reviews on YouTube. Should I take it? The thing that attracted me the most was the Size and Look/ Style. I was thinking on the Nikon Z FC that has a Small Sexy camera with ONE lens (low f range) for indoor family occasions. Through my searching I fond Fujifilm X-T30ii and some comparisons to the Z fc, I got confused about it, X-T30ii it had the Size I am looking for, the style I am looking for and the ONE lens range I was thinking off.
Comparing: This was easy task with all videos and reviews on the Net about both Nikon Z FC and Fujifilm X-T30ii. The main point that equalize both sides from the beginning was that if I choose Z FC I can’t use my DX lenses (I own the amazing Nikkor 35mm f2.4). This factor let me looking more to the X-T30ii and it’s output photos. Imedetly I notes some shiny photos from X-T30ii, why it’s photos looks different? Then I came to the the Film Simulations, OK .. , I was doing all this tuning to some of my D7100 kids/family photos in the lightroom application (some basic easy editing) … ahhha .. I can do it with Fujifilm X-T30ii and store it in the camera, then select the effect I want before taking the shoot. !!! This is totally NEW for my knowledge! At that point I stop comparing and I start digging into Fujifilm Film Simulations and recipes and sample photos .. waaw .. “This Should be my Next Camera”.. I said to myself. .. And That what Happened.
First Impression: Yes, this is what I was looking for. Fujifilm X-T30ii with ONE Fujinon 18-55mm Lens. Small, Compact and Sxy-Style camera for Famliy Oocations.. and More.

Nikon S9900 shot – 25
Subject: Vintage World Map with Nikon S9900
This Shot: Couple of months ago – or so – while I was teaching my kids, I notes that I don’t have any World Map larger than A4 Book-page size. So search the net and I bought a vintage-looks world map from Aliexpress site. I think I will hang it in my Office. Here I use the Nikon S9900 Camera almost on ground-level with manual setup and slow shutter to get more lights in, i use two books on the corners to keep the map from rolling.
