FUJIFILM X-Pro2 (14mm, f/8, 1/750 sec, ISO200) If you travel a lot you have the chance to see great places. Most of them are well known but sometimes you find something special. Everybody knows the Taj Mahal. It’s iconic. Even if you never had the...
FUJIFILM X-Pro2 (14mm, f/8, 1/160 sec, ISO200) What a trip! Korea and Japan. Here is a first look. Three images from Seoul, three from Osaka and three pictures taken in Tokyo. Last year I visited Japan for the very first time. I had less than a...
FUJIFILM X-Pro2 (134.5mm, f/9, 1/200 sec, ISO200) There is a big reason to visit San Simeon. Or better there are hundreds of them. Big and fat reasons. This is probably the best places to see elephant seals up close but it is for sure the most...
FUJIFILM X-Pro2 (63.8mm, f/9, 1/450 sec, ISO200) From Monterrey to San Simeon. Direction South on Highway number 1. Leave the clouds behind. This is a fantastic stretch of road! US highways as we know them from our trips in the South West are long, lonely roads that are...

FUJIFILM X-T1 (35.8mm, f/10, 1/3 sec, ISO200) Since I switched to digital in 2002 I shot Nikon, Canon and Sony. In 2011 I bought a Fuji X100. This year I finally sold my last pieces of “non-Fuji” photo gear. Here I try to explain what happened and...
FUJIFILM X-Pro2 (16mm, f/1.4, 1/80 sec, ISO3200) The real reason to visit Monterey is to visit the aquarium. And the reason to visit the aquarium is the big tank. I have been there before twice but every time I come close to Monterey I have to come...
Fujifilm shooters find themselves in an interesting dilemma of late with there now being two clear prime trinity setups that one could choose from. On one hand you have the newer, weather sealed, and smaller F2 variants in 23mm, 35mm, and 50mm. On the other...
FUJIFILM X-Pro2 (14mm, f/4, 1/1000 sec, ISO200) There are places one should visit at least once in his lifetime. Like the Grand Canyon or the Taj Mahal. The difference is that the Taj is made by men. There are many fantastic examples of what nature is capable...
