This shot made my girlfriend and I both think of Aladdin...

The bright light at the top center of the frame is Mars. I was trying to capture it with the storm rolling in below, but the slow shutter to catch the lightning caused it to blur a little more than I'd have preferred.

X-Pro2 + XF 35/1.4

I'm seeing a sad, indecisive cloud here

every year for my son and daughter, for their birthdays, I do a little themed shoot to use for their invitations. One of those things I tried once, and now every family that gets an invitation looks forward to the next one to "see what I came up with".

In any case, this year my daughter's theme is Princesses.

LOL this is hilarious

We all know how good the Fuji lenses are here but it still surprises me when I hear others dish them in a forum for not having good quality. This was the 90/2 on the X-PRO2.

most likely it's because they read someone else's comments on a forum or video and just regurgitate it..

Walking back tonight from scouting a location for a shoot I have in a couple of weeks. Nice balloons.

Rented the 80m macro for a beauty shoot next week. Can’t wait!

I sometimes question the balance of crazy macro lens sharpness being too detailed for portrait shoots. I guess you can always soften things up in post.

Macro beauty photos are slightly different from your standard portrait....

You should try the 90/2 for that it can focus in about that close the 35/1.4 also gets in close as does the 16/1.4 but then that one might not be considered a beauty shot

Wow. You have to feel for them. And it isn't like they hired a $500 Craigslist photographer....

At some point, public awareness will go up and people will start noticing the difference between a professional and someone who just bought a camera and has pretensions.

I can't believe the company said it was ok.

Yeah, a shot like that requires good light, a sharp lens and higher-end Retouching skills.

Most modern glass at f8 should be super sharp.
