Despite my reputation as more of a street photographer, I actually love taking pictures of nature too. I have a huge collection of Nature images in my archive, which I'm slowly getting around to organising and getting online. Even when I don't intend taking images, I usually have my camera with me and even simple little things can make nice photos. 

Here's a really quick tip for fellow Fuji X-Series shooters. Changing the focus points on a fuji camera can be a bit fiddly. You have to press the AF button on the back of the camera to activate focus point selection mode, and then use the d-pad on the back to select the focus point that you want to use. The problem with this method is that you really need two hands to do it, and I often find that I have to take my eye away from the viewfinder (although, yes you can still do it with your eye up with practice). There is however, another way!

I've covered post processing of Fuji X-Trans files fairly extensively over the last two years on this blog. In particular I've discussed how, if you're a Lightroom user, using a third party raw converter can give you much better results than just using Lightroom or Camera Raw when working with X-Trans files. I've used and written about Photo Ninja and Iridient Developer the most, but since Phase One have released Capture One Pro 8, I've been giving that a good work out too (and I'll have a report on that in a week or two)
