High Votage Twisted by Mike-Hope

If you are interested in some really good photo editing software for zero bucks Popular
Photography has some great suggestions. I have tried a few especially Windows Gallery,
which will open Canon RAW files, and Gimp, which is pretty powerfull. There are also some great online editors
that don’t need downloading. Great for when you are in a hurry or on someone elses computer. Photoshop
Express is one of them and gives some quick edits and filters.

I did this this one with a quick upload and distort in Photoshop Express. Easy!! Give it a try!!

I also just tried out pixlr this is a great Instagram type fun and fast editor for applying very cool effects. You realy should try this and let me know what you think. The photo below was processed in pixlr.

A pixlr adjustment!

Hi All,

Here is a pretty good review and comparison on the Fujifilm XM-1. It compares quality, build, response and etc. wth the Olympus PEN E-P5 and the Panasonic Lumix GF6. A pretty thorough review with interesting results. Let’s see how pricing goes over the next few months!!

New FUJIFILM X-M1 Camera + Pricing

July 25, 2013October 3, 2013Mike Hope 1 Comment

Hi all,

Hey, I just read that Fuji has come out with this retro camera, the all new FUJIFILM X-M1, 16M with interchangeable lenses and a 3.0 inch tiltable LCD!!! Real cute, and now a serious contender for the other mirrorless cameras out there. I have owned an X-20 and was really impressed with the build and quality. The things which did not hold up for me was the manual focus and pixel quality (12M pixels) apart from that when I review the pictures the color and general quality was great. I still miss it! Overall, l and can see myself trying out the new X-M1. Perhaps Fuji will finally lure me away from Canon (Talking lens adapter here).

The Suggest Retail from Fuji is :

The FUJIFILM X-M1 (body only) will be available in black and silver in July 2013 for $699.95.

The FUJIFILM X-M1 and XC16-50mm (24-76mm) F3.5-5.6 OIS lens (kit) will be available in July 2013 for $799.95.

The FUJIFILM X-M1 (body only) will be available in brown in August 2013 for $699.95.

Here is the brief spec and you can check out more on the Fujifilm site

The quality of a digital SLR in a compact body.

Easy-to-use One Handed Operation & The 3.0-inch, 920K-dot Tilt LCD screen.
Be versatile with interchangeable lenses.

Hi All,

I thought you might enjoy some photos I took at the Kubrick exhibition, LACMA, in Los Angeles. These were all taken with the Canon EOS-M, hand held, at the Kubrick exhibition LACMA Museum in Los Angeles. These were all low light no flash, using 22mm f/2 prime. So far I have not been able to do this with the SLR. And so portable too. Don’t even know you have it with you!! Hope you like the slide show:-)
