A couple weeks ago in the SLC area, we had a crazy amount of fog combined with a significant inversion. I almost didn't get out and shoot, but it was too good to pass up.

Here are a couple digital selects from the evening, shot on my trusty X-H2 and Laowa Argus 33mm f/.95 combo.

Special Report: The Fujifilm 35mm f1.4 on the XH2

It's like picking up the lens for the first time all over again.

I was getting pretty dead set on Sony A7 IV but yesterday work was so slow which it never is - my boss told me to go get a feel for the cameras I want to rent (I get free 3 day rentals of equipment). I go straight for that camera & a fast lens... there's something ugly about it. I go for my second option, Fuji XH2 that I've slagged off since Sony is king & cropped sensors don't perform well in low light. But I'm shooting with this fuji x & I am in love. They're not f*cking kidding about how beautiful the colors are. & though af was an issue (I was shooting a skeleton figure & the face was in focus but everything sternum down was out of focus so that was weird.). I couldn't figure out shutter speed but other than that. We just had chemistry unlike me & the a7IV. A colleague comes up & talks cameras with me & I say how the a7 IV felt almost sterile. & he completely understood what I meant & agreed explaining how it's just a mechanical tool built like a machine & not a camera. Completely got that. Fuji's a f*cking camera, you know. Yeah, pristine resolution with Sony but like when I put my eye to the viewfinder of Sony, it just magnifies the world as it is. Fuji paints it as another world, & that's f*cking gorgeous. I want to live in that world.

I try not to stare, or say too much. I try not to picture where the couch will be. What will hang on the walls? What the outside will look like? Where? Least of all; when? Never.

Marlow, Buckinghamshire. 

Neat hedge meets nature. I am getting a little tired of our flat grey light. The winter months are so long and while I frequently extol the abundandent virtues of beautiful diffused nothern European light, and why it is so good for photography, I am beginning to crave some contrast, and some shadows, and to be honest, a little more of a climate suited to long hours outside. But there's snow forecast next week. It's March... come on!
