Joe and His JPEG’s

I tend to shoot everything RAW and then use Lightroom and a few other editing programs because I enjoy processing my photos. Meanwhile, my friend Joe would go on and on about how he shoots mostly JPEG and does very little editing because the Fuji’s are just that good. I mean, it was really getting annoying. Like a broken record! So, Sunday I put it to the test. Went out and shot jpeg (but backed up every shot in RAW) and set the in camera film simulation mode to black and white. And you know what?

Of course you do.

The guy was right.

Now, how annoying is that?

And now I’m perplexed. I don’t want to start a new blog, but I do want to feature Fuji jpeg’s on my site. Maybe once a week. The perplexion is that I have no idea what to call this continuing feature. Fuji Friday does not take into account that all posts will be jpeg only. So if anyone has a suggestion, please feel free. I will give you credit on every post, if you like.

Another from my home safari:

Anyone that knows me  well will tell you I have more than a passing interest for cycling. It’s as much of a passion for me as photography. I’ve lost count of the hours I’ve spent in the saddle in all weathers and in all seasons. There is just something magic about it . Rather like photography in many ways.

Any of you have other passions/interests?

SoHo, New York City

For those not familiar with New York City, “SoHo” stands for “south of Houston Street” (pronounced “houseton).” It’s a trendy area in lower Manhattan, sporting pricey boutiques and charming atmosphere, including streets paved with “Belgian blocks.” And, this day, it was alive with long shadows of late afternoon.
