Here are the latest photos I captured with my Fujifilm X-T2 camera. These samples showcase how effectively this camera performs across diverse settings, conditions, and subjects, thus providing a comprehensive look at its real-world performance. These should help you decide if this camera could be the perfect addition to your kit.
The 56mm f/1.2 APD has become a permanent fixture on my X-T2—it’s just that good! Incredible sharpness, dreamy bokeh, and perfect for portraits or anything with a shallow depth of field. On another note, The Station Agent was the first movie I saw with Peter Dinklage, long before his Game of Thrones fame. Such a…
Tried the little 35mm Zeiss Biogon on the Fuji X-T2 for some night shots around Kagurazaka, just a few steps from home. No post-processing aside from a red filter, and I’m loving the result. The lens captures such rich tones and character, with a natural, almost film-like feel. A great match for night photography!
One of my favorite temples in Tokyo, only a few steps away from home: Tokyo Daijingu. Mostly visited by women praying for a good relationship. Shot with the Biogon 35mm.
Testing the weather resistance (WR) of the X-T2 on a rainy day in Shibuya—it handled the wet conditions like a champ! Raindrops didn’t faze it, and I was able to capture the vibrant energy of Shibuya in the rain without worrying about the gear. A solid performer for unpredictable weather!
A rainy Friday night in Ebisu—wet streets reflecting the glow of city lights, umbrellas bobbing through the crowd, and a calm, almost cinematic atmosphere. The sound of raindrops and the gentle buzz of conversations from nearby izakayas make it a perfect mix of cozy and moody vibes. Tokyo at its best in the rain. 🌧️✨
Ever since I got my X-T2, I’ve been tempted to try some Leica M-mount lenses. While I appreciate the performance of my XF lenses—they’re sharp, distortion-free, and reliable—they sometimes feel too clinical and lack a bit of personality. Plus, I’m not a fan of their handling: the metal coating feels slippery, focus-by-wire can be frustrating,…
I had the perfect shot lined up—lighting, composition, everything—when this grumpy salaryman at the bottom decided he couldn’t wait three more seconds. Guess patience isn’t a virtue for everyone. 😅📸
Few shots from Shinjuku Station with my 90mm lens. Captured a few shots at Shinjuku Station with my 90mm lens. The sharpness and creamy bokeh made it perfect for isolating details in the bustling crowd and picking out moments of calm amidst the chaos. Shinjuku’s energy and the lens’s performance made for some great urban…
Stuck in traffic at night, I passed the time playing with the focus ring. The blur of city lights turning into dreamy bokeh and then snapping back into sharp detail made for a surprisingly relaxing way to kill time. Even traffic jams have their creative moments
If you’re from Europe (like me), the word “forest” brings to mind lovely trails, peaceful weekend walks, autumn mushroom picking, or playing in the cool shade during summer. As a kid, we’d drive to a nearby forest, park the car, and just wander around, not really appreciating how much of that landscape had been shaped…
Another chance to test the high ISO capabilities of my little X-T2—this time inside Space Mountain in Tokyo. The low light was really a challenge, but the camera handled it impressively well. Crisp details and minimal noise, even in such tricky conditions. Definitely a fun and successful experiment!
Sandcastle: our masterpiece of the summer—4 floors of pure awesomeness! A blend of creativity, teamwork, and just enough structural integrity to hold it together. Beach days don’t get better than this! 😊🏖️
Far from the hustle of Tokyo, here’s a cozy little family restaurant in Shikoku. It’s a slice of the Japanese countryside that feels frozen in time, with its quiet charm and warm hospitality. I can’t help but wonder how places like this will evolve in 20 years, as rural areas face the challenges of aging…
Kamakura on a bright summer day is pure magic. The sun shines on the historic temples, lush greenery, and sandy beaches, creating a lively yet serene atmosphere. Walking through the quaint streets, exploring hidden shrines, and enjoying the fresh ocean breeze make it a perfect escape from the city. A summer day well spent!
Had a blast with my daughters playing Mario Kart at an arcade in Japan. The excitement of racing each other, the vibrant sounds, and the lively atmosphere made it so much fun. Nothing beats the joy of seeing their competitive spirit come alive on the tracks—it’s family bonding, arcade-style! 😊🎮
Purifying yourself and washing your hands at the entrance of a temple in Kamakura is a simple yet meaningful ritual. Using the wooden ladle, you cleanse your hands and mouth as a sign of respect and to prepare yourself spiritually before entering the sacred grounds. It’s a peaceful moment that connects you to Japan’s rich…
Before heading to work in Roppongi, I captured some bokeh on a Starbucks cup. The blurred background added a nice touch to the morning vibe—simple, cozy, and just enough time to enjoy the moment. Sometimes, it’s the little things!
A colorful sight at Shinjuku Station this morning, with vibrant hues bringing life to the bustling commuter hub. If you’d like to own this moment, the photo is available for purchase on Shutterstock.
Got the chance to drive a brand-new Audi TT-RS, courtesy of Audi Ikebukuro. This little beast is seriously fast—Audi R8 V10 Plus kind of fast—with a 0-100km/h time under 4 seconds. The growl of the 5-cylinder engine perfectly matches its performance, making the whole experience thrilling. Even the kids had a blast riding in it!…
Wandering through Shinjuku before heading back to work—taking in the lively streets, the neon signs, and the endless energy of the area. Even a short stroll here feels like a mini escape from the daily grind. Always something new to see!
