We had the biennial Chambers family reunion a couple weekends ago in Seattle.\u00a0 I knew I wouldn’t have much time for picture taking so I didn’t want to lug around all my gear but I also didn’t want to just use my iPhone, again.\u00a0 So I figured this would be a good time for me to rent the Fuji X-Pro 1.\u00a0 I am in LOVE with that camera.\u00a0 Along with the body, I rented the 18mm lens, which is equivalent to about 27mm.\u00a0 There are a ton of reviews out there on the Fuji X-Pro 1, so I’m not going to go there except to say that the only issue I have with the camera is the shutter lag.\u00a0 But, even with that issue, I would absolutely recommend this camera.\u00a0 If you’re looking for a review, check out this one<\/a>, by Preston Utely.\u00a0 Great review and beautiful photos.\u00a0 I love his work.<\/p>\n

Most of the shots I took were of my family but here are a few from the weekend that are more in the travel arena.<\/p>\n

Oh, one other thing.. the detail this camera and lens capture is pretty fantastic.\u00a0 It’s hard to see it with these smaller images, so I’ve linked the pics to slightly larger versions to give you a better view.\u00a0 Also, for those of you who may want to know, all of these were shot at ISO 400.<\/p>\n

This first one is part of my never ending effort to produce the next “most expensive photo in the world.<\/a>”\u00a0 I don’t know what my obsession is with empty spaces.\u00a0 If anyone out there has any ideas, please share.\u00a0 This was shot at the airport while waiting for the van to the hotel.<\/p>\n

Seattle is one of my favorite cities and I’ve mentioned on my blog before that I absolutely love the Olympic Sculpture Park.\u00a0 I could sit in that park all day and be perfectly content.\u00a0 As you can see, the weather during this trip was a little overcast..but after spending some seriously hot days in Colorado, the cool temps and cloudy skies where great.\u00a0 Anyway, one of the things I love about this place is that it was a barren industrial zone remade into a beautiful waterfront park.\u00a0 I also like that the park still has a bit of the industrial feel to it with the concrete hardscapes and the train running through part of the park.<\/p>\n

This next shot is a good example of the shutter lag issue.\u00a0 Compositionally, I like this photo for a couple reasons.\u00a0 But the one thing I don’t like is the bike tire intersecting with the sign…which was due to shutter lag.\u00a0 Can I do some photoshop magic, yes…but I prefer to do my very best to capture everything in camera.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These last couple shots were taken during our drive into Lake Union.\u00a0 Yes, I wrote “drive.”\u00a0 If you’ve ever taken a Duck Boat Tour you know what I mean.\u00a0 It’s a land and water tour in an old WWII amphibious landing vehicle.\u00a0 We toured the city streets and then drove right into Lake Union to see a few sites on the water.\u00a0 If you ever plan on doing a duck tour, I highly recommend doing it with a group of people who aren’t afraid to be a little crazy.\u00a0 Most of the boat captains dress up and their schtick is to act a little bit goofy, crackin’ jokes, jammin to music..so if you’re with a group of people who like to get their crazy on every once in a while, chances are you’ll have a real fun time.<\/p>\n
