Are you tired of looking at abandoned shopping carts yet? There is an ample supply, and my other choice was more photos of transmission towers, so there you go. Tomorrow may be transmission towers again! I need to get out of the neighborhood. Soon, I suspect.
I spent yesterday afternoon fiddling with menus and settings and taking photos of the ceiling fan on our porch. It’s interesting what things can be controlled on these cameras, although I’m not sure what they all do or why I would need them. I’m trying to figure out some of the custom settings but am discovering why I seldom bother – they are fussy and frustrating to figure out and it is getting in the way of taking pictures. I’m going to keep trying, though. Because I suspect that there is value in using them that I won’t recognize until I’ve used them. Duh.
Today I’m working with the camera profiles in Lightroom to see what they will do. Fuji added a bunch of new profiles to their cameras over the last 5 years or so, and I need to catch up! There are 4 new black & white settings and a number of color/film emulations to figure out. I try not to use the same settings all the time, but I do like to have a common starting point. In order to know what to use I need to know (1) what I like, and (2) what they all do. So, the homework continues!
