CAMERA: FUJI FINEPIX X100 – THE PROFESSIONAL’S CHOICE
Posted by Hassan Kinley | Filed under Have to Have, Photography
Inspired by the beauty and form of classic cameras from the past, the FinePix X100 combines all the latest technical digital innovations in a beautiful, traditional chassis which oozes class and prestige.
Echoing the functional aesthetics of analogue film cameras, the ‘manual’ dials have been carefully positioned to give the photographer easy control over creative shooting. Aperture, shutter speed and exposure compensation can be checked even before the camera is turned on.
The ergonomics of the design offers the perfect balance between compact convenience and user-friendly operation. Every control has been carefully considered to give the photographer fast access to aperture, shutter speed and exposure compensation, to allow maximum creative expression with minimum hassle.
The upper control deck and bottom surface of the camera has been cast from magnesium alloy, (semi-solid metal casting), to create a high-precision body with high rigidity. All dials on the upper control deck are also fabricated from metal.
Premium quality is evident in every detail. The chassis has been finished with high-quality leather accents, allowing you to indulge in pure photographic satisfaction.
You won’t want to put it down.
This is the camera to buy if you can find it. It is pretty much out of stock everywhere. For more info go to: Fuji FinePix X100

UNDERWATER DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY by {VALERIE MORIGNAT}

Underwater Digital Photography by Valerie Morignat
All photographs have been taken underwater, some at night in the pacific ocean. As a deep sea photographer and also a graphic artist and an art historian, my inspiration essentially comes from water element, Mythology and Art History. This series includes the “Self-Portrait thinking of Caravagio” which was taken at night in the complete dark, evoking the master of painting Caravagio who first approached the light in a quasi photographic manner. The portrait “Eloquentia Nativa” is an allegorical self-portrait, evoking in a very contemporary way the Vanitas artistic genre and its symbols of the inevitability of death and the transience and vanity of earthly achievements and pleasures (bubbles, reflections, mirrors, decaying flowers, etc).
Water is always approached as a character in itself, which externalizes the emotions of the human subjects and evokes the symbolic language of the Baroque period, ancient mythology, and some classical metaphors carried by literature.
