In this article, photographer Luciano Gerini shares insights gained while accompanying his daughter, an archaeology student, on field trips in central Italy. Exploring ancient Etruscan and Roman tombs carved from volcanic tuff, he developed practical techniques for capturing their unique atmosphere.

Battling creative block with the Hoya R72 Infrared filter and a Fuji camera
I know there is no real reason for creative block these days. With all the possible inspiration out there and the amazing Fuji cameras that remove most of my old blocks for picking up a camera, you’d think that I’d always have a creative overflow ready. And of course, I still get creative block. I […]

Long Exposure Photography with the Fuji GFX50s
Introduction Let me start by saying that I do not intend for this post to be a giant primer on long exposure image making. Nor is it a justification for the techniques over a more traditional approach to capturing a scene. A great deal of my current landscape or architectural work is not specifically long […]
My Photo Mechanic to Lightroom import workflow
Today I had a call from William, a fellow London wedding photographer, asking for a bit of advice on his importing workflow. He’d been using Lightroom for the whole shebang and was finding it very slow going. Which it is! Lightroom is fine for importing a few photos but if you’ve got thousands of images […]

XF27mm f/2.8 WR – The everyday hero
Hey dear Fuji X Love family,I never thought the Fujifilm 27mm f/2.8 WR would become my everyday lens, but here we are! Over the last few months, I started searching for a compact, fast lens to fit into my city commuting routine. My daily “route” often involves a lot of commuting and cycling, so portability […]
One day in 2012, I fell in love with Fuji
My journey in photography began in the late 1950’s with a Kodak box Brownie, and in the next 50/60 years encompassed just about every make and type of camera. I photographed cars, planes, trains, musicians and cakes for money and fun, I traveled in Europe for travel companies and shot fashion in Paris and photographed […]
Darkness. Light. Halos.
Darkness. As I lay in bed, eyes closed I can hear a million things. The humming from the water heater, the noise from the TV sockets, cars passing by my window, birds chirping on trees. I keep my eyes closed, rubbing my eyelids as I think about the last months. My last article for Fuji […]

DSLR V Mirrorless: The Switcher Debate – part II
This is not really a competition between DSLR v Mirrorless. As I said in a previous post I would not go out and sell all your DSLR to buy mirrorless. The cameras do different jobs in different way but they both do great jobs. There was some debate in the previous post concerning resolution and […]
Fujifilm Love Hate!
I have lent out a lot of personal Fujifilm kit over the last five years and the result has always been some love hate relationships and personal battles with the kit. I always find this very interesting. I remember my first time with the X100 and how it wound me up no end that the […]

Fujifilm X100V and X-E4 photo adventure in Nebraska
The Fujifilm X100V just may be my favorite camera of all time. It’s small, compact and can go almost everywhere with me. The X-E4 is almost as small, but can use different lenses. I think there’s room for both, so I took them along with me for a photo adventure in Nebraska. Nebraska is full […]
An adventure worth having
I’ve lived in Nebraska my entire life, going on 45 years now. Nebraska is situated right in the middle of America, and there was a portion of my life when I wanted so badly to move out of the Midwest and get to one of the coasts. I thought Nebraska was nothing but a vast, […]
Lost Paradise
It’s difficult to understand the real motivations that led us to go to Hawai’i. If you think carefully about it, they’re one of the most remote islands. At 8000 miles of distance from Spain, that is a best-case scenario of 24 hours flying with several stopovers. To be honest, there are plenty of other options […]
