For Sale - Nikon 16-35 f/4VR & Fuji 14mm 2.8

Nikon 16-35 f/4 VR - Being a wide angle shooter, this was my go to lens.  I now have and love the Fuji 10-24 and really don't have a need for this lens anymore.  In excellent condition with original box.  $800 and I'll pay insured shipping.

Fuji 14mm 2.8 Prime lens -  Since I purchased the incredible 10-24 Fuji lens, I have not used the 14mm.  Barley used, $400.00.  Box and hood of course!
A DATE CHANGE!!  My next Topaz Webinar is now on August 16th.  This will be what I refer to as "processing" webinar where I show you how I'm using Topaz products to craft the images I've envisioned. Go to http://blog.topazlabs.com/webinars/ and check for the link to sign up.  If it is not up yet, check back in a few days.  I will also announce the link of Facebook.

Fuji News


The above image was taken with my Fuji X-T1 and the new 100-400mm lens.  I have never had this much focal length (effective 600mm) in my life.  What a pleasure to have.  So far I am very impressed with the quality of this lens.  As to be expected from Fuji, the image quality is excellent. What is truly impressive, is the 5 stop image stabilization.  I hand held a picture of a deer in our back yard at 1/30th of a second at 400m and while the deer is not tack sharp, it was moving, the foliage around it WAS!!

The X-T2 was announced and mine is pre-ordered!   Can't wait.

Suggested Reading


A friend suggested the photographer Sally Mann's book "Hold Still."  I'm about 100 pages in and can't put it down. It is her autobiography and fascinating reading. 

 

Blog Post On Practicing Your Photography.


In case you missed it, a few days ago I posted about practicing your photography.  There are a number of wonderful responses.  If you have not read or responded, I would be interested in your thoughts.  Read the responses too, very interesting.
