175. Boatyard Photography with the Fujifilm X-T4 + 23mm F2 R WR

Living near the coast provides ample opportunity for this ex-Coloradan to explore a new type of subject. After being land-locked for most of my adult life, I find the Scottish coast absolutely fascinating. Boatyards especially provide endless opportunities for creative photography and ample sketching subjects.

As some of you know I recently switched from Canon to Fujifilm and I’ve been enjoying the process of learning a new system. I often go out for mini “scouting” trips to sketch and take photos, stretching my artistic legs (if one leg was an illustrator and one leg was a photographer).

Here are some photos using my new favorite lens, with a self-imposed challenge of shooting in full sun, hand-held, wide open (meaning I used the F2 aperture for everything).

Other details:

  • Everything is unedited, straight out of the camera.

  • Jpeg format (not RAW) with the X-T4’s Classic Chrome film simulation
