Bridgewater to Yarmouth – Day Four

We started out the day today in Bridgewater and got a great sunrise reflecting in the river.  Some boats docked near by were our subjects for the first light!

 

 

 

 

We then started down the coast and I began my experiment with seeing how the Fuji X30 would do, shooting with it for the rest of the day.  I’ll let you judge for yourself, but I was very pleased with the kind of work I was able to do with this $599. camera!!  I think it will be a constant companion and I won’t doubt it’s potential ever again!!  By-the-way, a friend forgot his “L” bracket so I gave him the one I had on the X30 to him, so all these images are “hand-held”!!!  Makes it even more of an impressive performance!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lastly, when I spoke to the Halifax Camera Club, Monday night I met an amazing man named Doug Murphy!  His ability to see faces in common places amazed me, so I promised him I would try to see faces on my trip.   Now these are not up to his standard, but at least I’m trying,  These are for you Doug!  You  can see his work at:   www.apex.photo.com

 

 

So one last shot, I processed another  image from Peggy’s Cove, thought I might share it too!!!!

 

 

 

Blessings,

    Greetings, Mr. Fortney.
    First may I say that your work with the Fujifilm System is superb! As an X-System convert from the world of DSLRs, I am finding that the sharpness and detail that I achieve straight out of camera, even before any post processing, is indeed amazing! I did have a question on your X-System, that I’d be glad to ask if you were so inclined to check out my images and contact me. (I didn’t want to “clutter” your site with technical questions.)
    Thank you sir, and again, your work is certainly admirable and inspiring!
    Regards,
    Steve

    Hey, Bill…

    Thanks for stopping by and chatting with us at the Maritime Camera Club in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Your talk was VERY inspiring!! I’ve been visiting your site on and off since we’ve met and have had the opportunity to see your “faces”. The shots of the binoculars are EXCELLENT and likened to something that I would do! They remind me of the character in the film “Short Circuit”. At least that’s what I see. Judge for yourself. Here’s a photo –

    I was out for a drive with Kevin Finch yesterday. The Club went on a photo shoot in Mahone Bay. I saw another face! It was on the console/dashboard of Kevin’s car. I only “shoot faces” with my cell phone. It provides a challenge for me holding the cell phone steady and the post processing is pretty neat, too! You said “…keep ’em coming!” in your email message. You too, my friend!!

    Your pal,
