Hello Folks, I'd like to share some S3Pro pictures in the next post. They were all shot as jpegs and some were heavily (heavy-handedly?) processed in Oloneo Photo Engine software. See what you think. All comments welcome.

Regards Joe.

A very fine selection Joe , the second image is a particular favourite . I have a month off now so I hope the sun shines at least once :-). Good to see the CZJ is still getting out and about .
Cheers Joe .
 
Wonderful pictures, beautiful colours! Came here looking for another camera...you know...but have looked at all the S- images. Wish I had a camera like that. But I know it would take long practice and skills. And these cameras are not easy to find.

In my journey through forums the finest images and best colours I have found so far - Fuji and Nikon.
Hope you keep your part of the forum alive!
 
Some lovely shots again Joe.

An oasis of good old forum "normality".

I'm very interested in the X100 and would really like to get my hands on one but I think the tenor of the forum is irrevocably changed. Bang goes the neighbourhood. :-)

Another beautiful set, Joe. Your creativity continues to amaze me.

I love the island and the Scottish Field Study especially. I think the heavy processing works best where it is very heavy, such as in the Symmetrees and the Waiting for Spring dedicated to Bob Spencer.

Having said that, I could not say what processing the Island and Scottish Field Study have had but I do like those such a lot.

Joe, you never cease to improve and evolve from the past. Your use of heavy processing (HDR I assume in some) adds rather than distracts, enhances rather than reduces, augments rather than reduces.....ok I'll stop.

Over time you have seemed to concentrate more on light. I recall during one stage you were acquiring lenses and amazed at their quality. Now is composition and light and processing and........ it is superb. Luckily you live in an area that suits your talents.

Kudos again and keep them coming. Lord knows we need a lot of posts like this.

Cheers,

Bob

PS... thanks for dedicating an image to Bob Spencer. Who knows where he is but if he returned to this forum today he may turn his boat around and leave....
 
this is what i have been missing. inspiration

I have a picture,
pinned to my wall.
An image of you and of me and we're laughing and loving it all.
 
Hello Joe,

I like 8, 10, & 11. For 8, I like the composition especially. For 10 & 11, for some reason, it reminds me of images, or a color palette that harkens me back to Kodak "How to", or "Learn photography" books. I like it, especially the color palette.

Thanks for sharing.

Take care,
Huy

Thanks to everyone for the generous comments and apologies to all for the huge delay in replying.

@RockieWayne - Thanks! I hope to be in that boat and catching trout before very long :)

@TomC601 - I'm glad you liked this selection.

@JoeLowden - Cheers Joe! - I hope you managed to grab a few decent pictures during your holiday, which by now, will likely be a distant memory :(

@eilivk - Thank you very much indeed for your kind words. I have always loved the vivid Fuji colours and hope to continue working with them into the future....

@Mr Pixel - I appreciate your comments very much - thank you.

@noyo - Thanks, as ever, for your support, Norman. I'm also very interested in the X100 for a number of reasons. The unobtrusive nature of the camera seems perfect for street photography and that is probably the area where I would use it most. The 35mm(equiv) focal length seems just right to me for this purpose. We Velviatrics will just need to get used to the influx of new people to the forum:) I'm sure Fuji are delighted with the reception the camera has received here and elsewhere. I'm also happy to know that our team are "still in the game" so to speak. I hope this is just the start...

@Moley - Thank you very much! :)

@Claypaws - Thank you kindly sir :) The Island had surprisingly little PP work done to it, some contrast adjustment and sharpening only. A Scottish Field Study was a single jpeg which I worked on in Oloneo Photo Engine - curves/tonemapping/boost saturation/luminance/sharpen. The beta testing phase of that software is now over and I'm considering purchasing it as I've enjoyed using it very much.

@Bobtheamateur - You are very kind, thank you! I think you are right, I am past the lens acquisition stage now but I remain amazed at the quality coming from some of these old manual focus dinosaurs :) Mind you, I still have a yearning for a Flektogon.....

I note Mr Spencer has passed through the forum in the past week or so....great news!

@Huyser - Thank you. Actually, you may be right about the colour pallete being a bit "Kodak" Both of the shots you mention were processed in Oloneo, and I purposely increased the saturation in the yellow/red channels for that effect. I'm glad you liked them. :)

@BadPicKev - Cheers buddy, good to see you on the forum.

@Buckshot - Thanks JB, I'm glad you feel the journey was worth it for you :)

Kind Regards Joe.

Joe, I never saw this set - Fantastic! There are a couple really great ones in here. Symmetrees is Outstanding! Very cool stuff. Thanks.

How many lenses do you have now. That 24/2 looks pretty nice.

Wonderful set Joe, my favourite is the second – the lighting and depth is excellent. The ninth shares the same sense of expert control and carefully considered composition; the tones in the sky are beautiful. Kind regards. :D
