Testing the X-Pro1

So I recently bought my first mirrorless camera, it's a bit old by todays standards but who cares, I mainly use older tech anyways. I bought the classic, Fujifilm X-Pro1! I've been looking at fuji cameras ever since I got my Fuji S1Pro, so I pulled the trigger and bought the X-Pro. It's been a pretty fun first week of getting the settings down and feeling my way through the camera, but I seemed to have got stuff dialed in.

So for this series of pictures, I'm gonna show off some of the pics from my test shoots this week when I went up to the bay area for a couple days top visit my family. The lens I paired my the X-Pro1 is a Starblitz Auto 28mm F1.8 for Minolta MD mounts with an MD to Fuji X adapter. The pictures i shot were JPEGs with one of my lightroom presets I use. Hope you guys enjoy.

On July 1st was my uncles birthday, so I was excited to properly take my camera out to take some cool pics at a reservoir we had a bbq at. Here's some of the pics from that day.

Next up are some pics I got from my Aunt's work and at a cemetery that we went to to visit my aunt's brother who passed away. Definitely pretty nice pics I got from the day.

And finally here are some pics from when my cusso and I took some pics around Alviso in the bay area, he took some pics with his Mamiya RB67, very cool medium format. I'm excited to see what images he caught with it.

There's Goo Everywhere

So it's been a while since I last uploaded anything onto this blog, but I feel like I should continue on with this thing that I started. I guess now's a good time as any to start up again. This week we went to a local punk show hosted by local band Goo Spot, along with a newer band Corporate America. Set up at a newer bar called Union in the middle of downtown Santa Barbara. Here is a full library of what I shot The crowd was so energetic, all these kids amped up to hear the local favorites, or even new favorites, tear up the place with that fast and loud sound. Pits opened up, they were moshing, skanking, slam dancing, jumping off a barrel, It was a great time. The show was fun time, and talking to everyone and getting all these photos was an even better of a time. With the opening of Union in Santa Barbara, I hope that the grassroots music scene of Santa Barbara will continue to thrive.

Avo Fest Molcajete

Another Avo Fest in the books. This year was a lot of fun, the moment The Upbeat started playing the crowd lit up. The amount of crowd surfing was insane for a local avocado festival, but it's an Upbeat show so I shouldn't be surprised. It was the 40th year of The Upbeat so this show was pretty special, and that's probably why the crowed was way more lively than last year. They played some classic songs from their discography like, "Farmah Man", "17 @ 17", "Sitting on Capital Hill", and my favorite "Olde Towne". If you've never listened to them before, you should definitely give them a listen, some of the best Ska you'll hear. Anyways, lets get to the photos. I was on the outskirts of the mosh pit at all times so I had to shelter my camera from getting bumped into for the entire show. This wasn't the biggest issue since I was using a cheap lens I like and a cheap flash. Nevertheless I was able to get 18 photos that I am h...

There's Goo Everywhere Again

We got another Goo Spot show! Held at the Carpinteria Skate Park, we had a full day of music, 5 bands played. Wren Hunt, Ding Mao, Beau James Wilding, Goo Spot, and Nardcore OG's Dr. Know ripped up the Carp Skate Park. I do apologize for the lack in variety of photos I've captured though, with how wide my lens is, and the harsh backlighting, I found it pretty difficult to get some inspiring shots. But nonetheless, here's a full gallery of Goo Spot's set plus 2 shots from the Dr. Know set As always it's been a blast taking all these pictures, I hope I'll have some more pictures to share soon!
