First Frost with the Fuji X-E1
After a very mild winter so far here in Dublin, we had the first severe frost of the year yesterday. I awoke to a beautiful covering of white across the ground. The fields surrounding where I live were glistening with their white crystal coverings, and the rooftops were as white as if it had snowed. I had been planning to head out to do some photography anyway, so the winter scene was a bonus.
I brought my trusty little X-E1 and the 35mm lens. I wish I had the macro lens, as there was lots of detail (soon) but the fuji 35mm can get pretty close on its own. Anyway, I won't bore you with too many technical details, so instead lets just get straight to some pictures. The winter light is really beautiful this time of year, with the combination of the low sun and the deep blue of the sky making for some great contrasting colour.
I was just having a bit of fun with the camera, and so I wasn't out to get anything specific. Most of these were taken in Dublin's St. Stephen's Green Park, while some of the others were taken on the way. Enjoy.

I’ve had my Fujifilm X-E4 for a long time now, and for the most part it’s a great little camera. I’ve used it as my main “lightweight” travel and walk-around camera for years now. Any time I want to bring a camera with me and I don’t want to lug my Canon R6II, I throw the Fujifilm in the bag. I had originally bought it to replace my ageing Sony a6000 for street photography, but that never really panned out. Mainly because I didn’t do street photography as much any more, but also, an annoying bug in the camera made it difficult to use with my style of street photography. But I finally found a solution.
